Poor neglected blog.....and a teaser

I haven't updated this blog in quite awhile. I am having my logo redone and I was waiting to relaunch my blog and site when it was all done. However, it has taken a little longer than I thought,o I had to come and post a few teasers for the "L" family.

Here is one of miss "A" in color.....

 

and the same in black and white.

 

I should be back soon with my new logo and a few more sessions to share.

So sweet....

If you look underneath this post, you will see a few teasers from Demae's maternity session. She has a beautiful baby girl exactly one week ago today, and I had the privilege of taking her newborn photos.

Here are a few teasers from our session this morning......

Maternity fun.....:)

I got to meet up with Demae today. Her wonderful friends bought her a baby and belly package for her baby shower. We had a great session and the weather was absolutely perfect.

She is due on my birthday, so I hope I have a little birthday buddy to take newborn pictures of.

Here are a few teasers from today.....

Favorites of 2008....

......Comments are now closed.............

I will post the winners by tomorrow morning. Thanks for voting!

As I did with my favorite images of 2007, I am holding another contest this year. I am going to let YOU decide what your favorite image is from the past year. In order to be fair, I chose one image from each session that I did and chose my favorite from the session. 

Now, let's get on to the good stuff....:)

What do I win?

1st place:

 a free session with me in 2009 and a hundred dollar credit that may used towards any prints from previous or future sessions.

2nd place:

$100.00 gift certificate that may be used towards any prints or future session

3rd place:

$50.00 gift certificate that may be used towards any prints or future session

Why should I vote if I am not in the contest?

If you are local you will be eligible to win a free session with me, and all voters will be in a drawing to win a gift card to either itunes or Starbucks.

How do I vote?

Please pick your favorite image and post a comment in the comments section. Make sure you leave your name and email address, so that I can get in touch with you if you win. Let me know which one is your favorite and whether or not you are local to the Sonoma/Napa area. Please only vote once.

Voting will close on January 26th at midnight. The images will appear below their designated number. Some people may appear in multiple images and that is because they have had more than one session with me in the past year.

*EDITED TO ADD*

I have heard from quite a few people that it is hard to see the comment section under this post and it is being missed. Please look directly under #27 to vote. I will count the votes placed under the other posts as well, due to the number of votes I have received.

I will only accept one vote per ip address. I have received several votes from the same computer and those will be deleted before the end of the contest.

Miss "S"

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Miss "S" yesterday. She is expecting twins in a few weeks, so we decided to get her maternity shoot handled while she was still up for it.

Here are a few teasers from the day.....

Baby "J"

I had the pleasure of working with Baby "J" today. She is just about three weeks old and still so incredibly tiny. It's amazing to get to work with newborns. they are so fragile and truly remind me what life is all about. Here is a teaser from today in color and black and white.

Little "G"

I got to take pictures of a beautiful little girl today. It was tons of fun because there were tons of Christmas decorations up and we used them to our advantage. I will post some more pics from the session once I am done editing them. In the meantime, here are a few teasers from the day.....

Miss "A"

I had a session today with Miss "A". She was so easy to photograph....always smiling. I had so much fun chasing her around today. Here are a few teasers from our session.....

The "M" Family: Part Two

You may remember this family from last year. The little one also has a place on my business card. We went back to the same location as last year and I was amazed to see how much little "M" has grown. Here are a few teasers from today....
