happy v-day!

I hope you all have a great Valentine's Day with your friends, family and lovers today. It's a bit chilly out there, so we'll all need to snuggle extra tight!

Well, it seems that our world's population has been quite replenished recently. In the past few months all I've photographed are pregnant moms and newborns! And I even have a few more lined up.

This little baby was so cute. I also got to shoot her big sister and brother. I just love little girls. They really are princesses. She is just about to turn 2. Happy Birthday!

baby b

Last week I had the privilege to photograph this sweet little angel. Her mom's a good friend of mine and I was so excited to meet this little one. Isn't she beautiful?

new logo!

Ok, so my new logo is finally done! I'm very pleased with the result. So, like I said, we're getting a bit of a facelift and it's going to look great!

mommy cards

These cards are so awesome I don't know why it hadn't occurred to me to offer them to my clients. They're basically business cards for moms. They're so handy when you need to exchange information with other moms or leave babysitters your telephone information. They are also great to put into children's backpack in case they get lost. The back of the cards can have emergency contact information, such as relative numbers and doctor's number, any allergies your child might have an even food preferences. I'm still working on more designs and pricing, but check back to see more!

Back of card options:

You are welcome to order mommy cards of pictures from past photo sessions.

awaiting

I think expectant mothers have moved up to the top of my list of favorite subjects to photograph. I LOVE photographing women and their glamorous bellies! I just feel so blessed to be a part of preserving the most beautiful miracle of life. Pregnant women really do have a unique glow to them and it's so great to capture this on camera.

This girl was just gorgeous! I really do need to pay her for letting me take pictures of her. She is a real pro at being in front of the camera which made our session a blast. And her whole support group was also great fun.
Ok, so in response to the "overwhelming" response (check the number of comments) to my photo bag post, I will be offering the fabulous Gina Alexander bags. I am still looking for a provider of photo jewerly that I really love. Haven't found it yet, but I'm hopeful. I'll keep you posted.

Botox Injection!

Like I said on my website, to start of 2007, I'm in the middle of some fresh, exciting changes to the business and website. I like to call it my mini-facelift Botox injection! Well, in addition to the added Kissable block, I've been contemplating adding photo jewerly and purses. I'm still looking for the rigtht photo jewelry, but love these:

I have a company in mind for the purses. They are top quality products with leather trimming. These purses are beautiful!

I'm really excited, but I'd like to get some feedback before I start offering these services. So I'd love to hear from you. So please, pretty please, take the polls and leave comments, please! Did I say please?

my new love

Wow, my life has been so crazy lately. It's been so long since I've updated my blog. Things are starting to wind down since Saturday is the deadline for Christmas orders. As you can imagine, I've done shoot after shoot, but it has been so much fun. I can't wait for it to be all over and cuddle with my hubby and sip a cup of hot cocoa in front of a chimney in a cabin in Utah. Oooohhhh, that'll be sooo nice and much deserved!

Well, this was a recent photo shoot and this little guy was the sweetest boy ever! Don't you just want to eat him up?

the loyal customers

My friend "D" is my most loyal customer. I love taking their pictures because they're so laid back and just go with the flow. We decided to try something new and went to the Botanical Gardens and did some pictures with their beautiful water fountain. If you haven't been to the garden, you need to go. It's very peaceful and they have fun activities for the kids. Just don't let your kids run around too much-they get kind of upset! It's kid-friendly, but not too kid-friendly, if you know what I mean.

new holiday cards-woo hoo!

I've just added 8 more holiday cards to choose from and they are just beautiful. (Well, at least I think so!) Take a peak. I've also added them to the website under my "Portfolio" gallery. Hope you like as much as I.

kissable

Remember this sweet little boy? He's on my portfolio gallery on my website (#5 in the "Your Soul" gallery). If I remember correctly, he was less than a year old at the time and now he's 2 1/2. He's so cute! So here is his older brother and their newest addition, sweet little baby "R." She's my little Diego's age and reminds me so much of him. I think she's a feminine version of him. Every time I see these kids, I just want to kiss and hug them-being the kissy/huggy person that I am!

cat eyes

I absolutely love this picture because it shows how beautiful this little girl's eyes are. They are a yellowish/greenish color. Just stunning! This family is the same family I did last week which I posted a picture of the little boy who is such a ham with his Zoolander pose. This picture here is my favorite and the rest I also loved. Can you believe the mom thinks she's not photogenic? She's beautiful!

new personal blog

I've noticed two types of posts in my blog-personal posts and photography post. So I have decided to keep them seperated (ooo, flash back of that song!). This one will remain my photography blog and my new personal blog will be http://jessicasandberg.blogspot.com.
