Simply Lovely

Shona Dion of sweet earth photographics is known for her signature photojournalistic style, open-minded, natural approach and detailed imagery. She knows you get the best photos of your kids when they’re comfortable and relaxed, which is why she prefers to book sessions in your home, garden or somewhere else of significance to you.

A mother herself, she also knows how hard it is to find the time to document your growing brood’s memorable moments, so she’s offering yoyomama readers a great deal on a mini session. You get one hour of shooting plus a CD with 15 hi-res images and mini album for just $150. But do hurry, you’ve only got until May 9th to book your session and you can use it any time in 2010. Hint: this would make a good Father’s Day gift too…
