New Albums, Folios & Image Boxes coming Soon!!

I've been looking for some new products to show off, you all know how easily I get bored, and once again my frame company came thru with a new line of beautiful albums! I have ordered samples and am working to design a new line just for Baby Club members! These will be albums, folios & image boxes designed to capture each milestone of your baby's first year! They can actually be ordered for any occasion, but Im working on designing some new templates that will be available soon including one called "Love Notes" where you can write your baby a note and I will add them to the images in this line, what an amazing thing for your child to look back at when they have grown up!

Mad that you missed these and your baby is already over one? We can go back and print them anyway! Use images that you previously ordered and save!

Im working on getting pictures of the new albums right away and we may even run a special to launch so keep an eye out!

Little Evalynn is 7 months old!







And she is SO cute! I just love girlie girl pictures, they are so fun and you only get to do them for a short time. It doesn't take long before little girls have their own opinions about what they are wearing, take it from a mom of a 14 year old!

The dress was moms from when she was a baby, I always love photographing heirlooms like that, what a great gift when they get big!
Heres what mom had to say: "Jennifer-

Once again you have done beautiful work. We had so much fun yesturday! Thanks for capturing photos of Evalynn that will always be cherished by all of us. Now, I have to chose, that is the hard part! Thanks again,"

Models Needed July 19 & 20 FREE PORTRAITS

July 19 & 20th my friend and colleague, Ana Brandt & are are teaching a workshop at my studio on maternity & newborn portraits. I am needing models to be photographed during the program. You can see the workshop focus on our website at http://www.bellavitaworkshops.com/ if you look back a couple of posts you'll see a post showing some images we did together in California.

Maternity - with dad or alone, no children please. 7-8 mos along, big enough to show in other words. Ok with being in skimpy clothing in front of a class (mostly women) :) We'll need you for about 60-90 minutes and you'll receive a CD of the images for modeling , a free 5x7 and 60% off pricing for any additional prints you want me to retouch and print.

Newborn - Baby 0-2 weeks preferred. We'll be photographing baby alone and possibly with mom & dad, no siblings on this one please. We'll need about 2 hours of your time and you'll receive a CD of the images for modeling , a free 5x7 and 60% off pricing for any additional prints you want me to retouch and print.
