So this afternoon I wrote out all the names of those who commented, both on the blog and through my site, on a piece of paper and cut them up and had my little darling :


pick a name out of the strainer. Yep, I sad strainer. And she handed the slip of paper to her baby brother:



who toddled it over to his hero, aka big brother :


Who read the name "Chelsea B" out loud to me. So congratulations Chelsea!!! I will contact you to make some plans! And for all of you who didn't win, but did leave a comment as my thank-you I would like to offer you 20% off your shoot, but only if you book this week! Thanks again!!

Oh, and after the momentous draw, we all headed to the park for the fun fair at school. What a day!


(posts are just more fun with pictures!) Happy Mother's day all you mommies out there!!

First...if you are looking to WIN a FREE session then go on down to this post and don't forget to go checkout my newly updated website and then come back and check out yet another adorable baby I recently had the honor or photographing:



I told you she was adorable. You may remember her adorable family from their recent maternity shoot. Well, this sweet girl made her appearance not too long after those photos were taken. And mom is already looking amazing, and baby is settling in quite nicely with her doting siblings.





This baby was such a "third child" :o) She was so laid back, even when I took these photos:



...she just laid there, totally content. I was impressed. But I already feel a special bond with her, cause I sort of helped name her :o) right "mom"? I love her name. I'm glad you chose it, seen as there will be no more girls for me!!
And then, believe it or not, I even got a little smile! At a newborn shoot! That's unheard of; she must be one amazing little girl!



Okay, I know there's a lot of pictures, but I'm trying to give mom a few options for her birth announcements at the same time as her sneak peek. I know, very clever. So just a last couple (sort of) with mom and dad. And maybe an extra one with mom, just because she looks so darn good







Okay, off to bed. Don't forget to comment to win, only 5 more days...
