more urban

urban chic

I took this photograph back in August, I believe, and am just getting around to proof these pictures. Hopefully I will be proofing a lot more in the near future.

brand new

Our new joy, born three weeks ago. He was 1 week old in the first picture and 12 days old in the other pictures.

if you're wondering where i've been....

I've been waddling across town with an extra 20 pounds, numb legs, cravings of all kinds, and the excitement and anticipation of a new baby boy in our home. I'm almost 7 months preggos and due April 3rd. So, as you've noticed, I've taken a break from photography and will probably get back to taking pictures sometime in June. So stayed tuned in April for some baby pics since my mind is already turning in all sorts of directions with ideas for newborn pictures.

still here

Christmas season is in full swing now and is actually winding down-yay! This year I limited the photo shoots, so I didn't have as much work as last year and it has been a life saver. I am currently 4 months pregnant and every day I feel like I just ran a marathon. Hopefully soon I will regain my energy.

I still have some fabulous unedited pictures from my workshop in SLC that I will post before the end of the year, hopefully, along with some of the family shoots I've been busy doing these months. In the meantime I leave you with one of my own-the one that doesn't want another baby for fear that it will turn out like his younger brother, who we so affectionately call the Gremlin.

urban family

Awesome family + Awesome family = Awesome photo shoot. I get so excited every time I do a photo shoot that's on location, especially when it's a really cool location like this one. This family was totally into the urban photo shoot, which made my work so much more fun and easier. This is what the workshop I'm going to in two weeks is all about. I can't wait!

beautiful mom

This soon-to-be mom is this client's sister. Wow, what beautiful sisters! I had a lot of fun photographing her and her hubby and of course, her little belly. How in the world are these women so lucky? She's already 8 months pregnant and I look like that at 5 months! The world is seriously shifted in favor of some-not me!

holiday schedule

ADDED: I am booked up until the end of year. If you would like to be placed on a waiting list, please let me know. Thank you all for making my business successful!

A lot is going on in my home right now-my oldest is going into Kindergarten, I'm getting pretty busy with holiday shoots and I'm also getting ready to go to a workshop in September so that I can continue to offer you awesome ideas and pictures. With all the chaos, I need to stay organized, so I thought I'd let you know my availability for the next few months. I'm booked up pretty much until the end of October. I do have October 25th, November 1st and November 15th open. I will not be doing any photo shoots past Thanksgiving, so please plan ahead and schedule your photo shoot.

Here are some important dates to keep in mind. Please be considerate. No exceptions will be made.

Nov. 15........Last day for photo sessions.
Nov. 22.......All Christmas cards must be ordered by this date for Dec. 6th delivery.
Dec. 6..........All orders must placed to receive your pictures by Dec. 20th.

Keep in mind that some products take longer to be made, including coffee table books and photo handbags. Here are the deadlines for Christmas delivery on COFFEE TABLE BOOKS:

Nov. 15......Coffee Table Books


POLICY CHANGES FOR THE FOLLOWING MONTHS

Because of the demand during the holiday season, I have decided to add a retainer policy. Once you schedule a session for the months of September, October and November, a retainer equal to the amount of your session fee will be due. If you need to cancel, the retainer will not be refunded. Every year I have a waiting list and it wouldn't be fair to those who couldn't schedule if I have cancellations.

christmas cards

Christmas season for Jessica Sandberg Photography is in full swing and I've put the new Christmas card line up on my website under "Portfolio" then "Christmas Cards." I'm adding them here to so you can take a peak. Also, I'm adding past Christmas cards in case some of you were left with a craving for one!

evolution

It is so amazing to see people evolve-first into couples, then into families. I've had the privilege to witness this transformation in a few of my clients. My favorite part is seeing their happiness level go sky high after having a baby come into their lives.








Dad was serious when he said he wanted a shot of baby on the green with a club and balls next to him!

sis & little brother

Don't know why July was so busy. I had 10 photo shoots in 2 weeks! You have to understand that I usually only one photo shoot every Saturday and maybe another during the week. But to have 5 in one week is just craziness. After a really rough month, I am going to have to go back to doing a limited number of photo shoots per week. since I am primarily a stay-at-home mom, too many photo shoots is too hard on my kiddos. So if you are interested in a photo shoot, please plan ahead.

That said, I want to share some pictures of this adorable little couple. The little girl was a show stopper and the little boy, well, he wanted to be in his own show.

little man

This munchkin was a joy to photograph. We had fun doing some exploring and watching the trains go by. Thank you for letting me photograph your 2-year mark, little man. May this year be filled with growth and learning and happiness.

newbie

I love this time of year when there are babies born everywhere. This is my fourth newborn in the past two weeks. He was so sweet and very cooperative, despite his mom saying he was a fussy baby. I think he got his feelings hurt and wanted to prove mommy wrong.

the boys

I took my boys out for a "fun" evening of pictures at some urban locations I've been scouting out. My husband had a late night at work, so instead of being home and going crazy, I packed the boys with their corndog dinners and headed downtown. I bribed them with a trip to the candy isle at Wal-mart and they did pretty good. I'm excited for my upcoming urban shoots. A glimpse of what's to come.
