I am in search of newborns that will be born in April or May.  I had several fine art and new ideas to try out and need a few (very) patient and willing parents with a Spring bebe coming.  I have some specific needs, so if you fit, please let me know asap.



You will get:

-a complimentary 2-3 hour session

-a set of 24 custom birth announcements

-no obligation to purchase

-web gallery for sharing



Here are the specifics:


Casting #1

- newborns of various ethnicities; under 2 weeks old

- twins are a plus

- sessions are geared toward specific images (others if time allows)


Casting #2

- newborn under 2 weeks + both parents

- both parents need to be fit and comfortable with their body; tattoos are fine on dad

- session is geared mainly for simplistic artful skin to skin images with parents holding baby (not nudes)


Casting #3

- newborn with parents for a black and white photojournalistic session (un-posed, family interaction)

- need a spacious modern home with lots of natural light and nice furnishings + finished nursery


Sessions will take place at your home (within 30 miles of Allen) and a signed release is required.  Please use the email link or call to inquire at 214-536-6889.  If you or anyone you know (or see) is expecting soon, please have them contact me asap. This is a limited offer and I only need a few spots!

I had the pleasure of meeting some fabulous DFW photographers at a meet we had yesterday. They brought the kids and a model + baby that we photographed.  This was my first time at this location and what a feast it was for my eyes!

Major kudos to all these willing subjects that posed, played and smiled for about 90 minutes for us.  I had a great time and it was facinating to work along side some of the local talent that I have so much respect for. 

I love this one!  A tender newborn and the old beat up train.  The photographer mom was right there- don’t worry!

Can you believe this was my very first high school senior to photograph? What a treat it was to not have to bribe her with a lolli pop in the end :D   I may have to find more Seniors to work with because these are so much fun.  I loved her shoes and boots- can you tell?  




(offer is expired and no longer valid)

I thought of a great special offer for those of you who love to plan ahead like I do, so here you go:

- Book your Spring or early Summer session by March 31st and you get half off the Session Fee. Offer valid for sessions held between 3/8 and 7/31/09((EXPIRED)).

- Get a friend to book too and you will both receive a complimentary 5×10 desk storyboard.


That’s it.  A simple idea for you to start planning ahead for that milestone, birthday, newborn or for my favorite kinds of sessions, just because they grow so fast!  Email me at the CONTACT link up top or at info@rhondaduronphotography.com to check for availablity and please have a date in mind. 

The $75 Session fee (plus tax) is due within 7 days of booking to reserve your space. Not to be combined with other offers/discounts and not valid on mini-sessions.  Limit one storyboard per client.

Until next time

I didn’t realize it’s been an entire month since I posted.  SORRY!!  I’ve been enjoying peace and quiet, well- as peaceful and quiet as it gets with a 2 1/2 year old around :D   I’ve been doing other projects and streamlining my ordering system and it’s quiet time consuming, but it’s worth it when you see it.  

Many of you may have seen my newborn ad on Facebook last week and it got a lot of attention and I am happy with that.  The responders were several months out, so if you know of an impending birth in March or April, send them my way for a special deal!  I adore photographing newborns and there is so much I want to attempt, I just need the open and willing parents.  I may need a very specific Casting Call again…. hmmmm……
Well, I hate posting without a photo, so here are 2 new 16×20 Wall portraits I updated at Java & Gelati here in Allen (corner of Main @ Allen Heights next to the farmers market).  Enjoy until next time!!
