Baby J { Austin Newborn Photographer }

January 26, 2010 Posted in Client Work, Newborns

{{ Blog Contest Winners will be announced on Tuesday! Sorry for the extra wait!! (Good things are worth waiting for, right?;-)More on this later today!! }

This newborn baby boy is so sweet… and cuddly… and adorable… and pees a lot! He soaked all of us girls at his newborn session. Sister, check. (kudos to big sister who handled it so well!) Mommy, check. Photographer, check! Daddy, nope, not a drop! Us girlies were feeling singled out!:)hehe. It was all worth it when you look at his sneak peek. Aaahh, I love back wrinkles! Enjoy your sneak peek, “S” family!

My first official session of 2010 is tomorrow (identical twin newborns!!) and it kicks off the start of a busy fun year at Ella Bella Photography! Yay!!!! Lots of sneak peeks coming your way along with more guest appearances of my own two boys…:)I’m going to make more of an effort to photograph them this year since I missed out on several milestones last year just trying to keep up with the business side of photography! For me, 2010 is all about making memories and capturing the moments that matter. I hope you will be a part of it with me!

PS. My contest ends Friday at 6pm! See below and spread the word about Ella Bella Photography to get qualified to win!

Elle

Alicia Lovell - January 19, 2010 - 9:53 AM

Hi My name is Alicia, I am Due on February 2nd, but am scheduled to be induced next wednesday the 27th of January, and am over the moon excited! Vanessa Habben sent me this entry info. I would absolutely love a free newborn session with your photogrophers, these photos are amazing!! I have always wanted to do something like this, but as I am going from a full time job to a stay at home mom attempting to open a business, I know it is not something I could ever afford to do. My current boss has amazing photos of his first child all over the office that were taken by a professional and I just long to have those moments captured in that angelic way. Even if I dont win, thank you for offering such a great opportunity to new parents!!!

Crystal Griffin - January 19, 2010 - 11:27 AM

Elle – This is a wonderful idea and I am going to tell all my pregnant friends about it! We receive compliments all the time on Kaitlyn’s newborn photos and I would love to see one of our friends be blessed by your amazing work as well!

Vanessa - January 19, 2010 - 12:58 PM

I’m not sure how to link to my fb post, but it’s there :)

Dana Sehion - January 19, 2010 - 9:21 PM

I posted a link to your contest on Facebook but I’m not sure how to make a link to my post! :(

Kristi - January 20, 2010 - 7:42 AM

Referred by Vanessa Habben. I am due with twins in June so I dont know if that is outside of your time table but twins usually come early :) Your work is so beautiful!

Hannah - January 20, 2010 - 8:03 AM

My name is Hannah. I am due in April with my second child. I would love to win a free photography session and capture those first moments with our baby. My sister in law Crystal Griffin told me about this contest.

Jennifer Herring - January 20, 2010 - 10:42 AM

Hi Elle,
I spread the word to all my friends on facebook & would love to win a photo session with you. Crystal Griffin referred me to you and I loved the pictures you took of her baby. I am pregnant with baby #2 and my due date is June 1st. We have not had a family picture taken yet so I think this is the perfect opportunity:).

Jennifer Herring - January 20, 2010 - 10:43 AM

Oh yeah & I forgot to include the link to my post in my last comment so here it is.

Cindy Herrera - January 22, 2010 - 8:27 AM

Elle – I posted on my personal blog to spread the word. I know my pg friends in Austin would love this. Everyone in our family loved the photos you took of our newborn daughter last summer. I can’t wait to get up there for new updated photos. — cindy

Amanda S. - January 22, 2010 - 9:03 AM

Hi! My name is Amanda. My due date is 7/17. Cindy H. referred me. I adored the pics you did of her little girl. They were just beautiful. I didn’t do newborn photos with my daughter and really want to have the opportunity to capture those fleeting newborn moments with #2.

Julie - January 22, 2010 - 10:14 AM

Hi! My name is Julie and my twin baby boys are due in April. I love your work and would be honored for you to photograph my babies. I am referred to you by Vanessa Habben. These are our first children and we definitely want to capture their baby essence in a way that will be cherished forever. This would be such an awesome experience for us! And it would be an opportunity that we wouldn’t normally be able to afford. I love that you are offering this. I love that I have a chance to have my newborn babies photographed by an amazing professional. Thank you for even offering me (and my twins) the chance to win!!!

Meghan G. - January 22, 2010 - 1:43 PM

Hi Elle,

My name is Meghan and I was referred by Cindy Herrera. Our baby boy is due May 21, 2010. Your work is beautiful and the photos you took of baby Ellery were AMAZING! I would love to have a newborn photo session done as it’s something priceless that we unfortunately didn’t do with our daughter. It would be something special and unique for our baby boy to treasure. Thank you!!
