I met the ‘B’ family at the St Joe Maternity Fair earlier this year, and they were my lucky winners for a free newborn session. I wanted their experience to be complete, so we added a mini maternity session. Weather and scheduling came in our way, but the rain finally stopped just in time for us this week. The light was magical! I loved it, and I loved meeting the entire family. They are hip, fun and a certain 4 year-old-soon-to-be-bigger-brother is full of energy & personality 
Isn’t mom-to-be stunning!?!! I can’t wait to meet baby boy #2.
If you are thinking of booking your newborn session with Zoombug Photos, use the contact form or email me now to take advantage of getting a free mini maternity session with it!
A – I am still on the look-out for a two-headed dog…I’ll let you know if I spot one 
C & J – Great meeting you again. I hope you love these.

What better way to start the spring, than to celebrate some of my favorite images from last year! It was a great year, and I wish I can showcase every single baby, child, senior and family, but that would only be possible if I do it in rounds. I am all about keeping things simple this year, so I’ve narrowed it down to 21 images.

How? Just vote for your favorite image below. Limit one vote per person/IP (multiple votes from the same IP will disqualify the entry, so please no cheating). Pass it along to your friends & coworkers, post it on your facebook, link it to your blog or tweet it.
When? Today through Sunday, April 18, 11:59pm.
What? Prizes*??? Of course!
First place gets a free 2010 session, and a set of brag books included ($400 value).
Second place gets a $100 print credit towards their 2010 new session.
Third place gets a $50 print credit towards their 2010 new session.

It’s been a busy couple of weeks, and I am just barely catching up before the next storm sweeps by. I am heading into my busy season, and my September is fully booked. So if you are thinking of fall/holiday session, now is the time to book. Holiday order deadline is November 20, last session for holiday delivery is November 8.
On to the new exciting products that I’ve added…
1. The first is the slideshow set to music, for viewing on your TV or computer. This is a great way for you to keep all the images for years to come, and it’s an economical option at only $150. They come in a nice case too!
2. You’ve asked for it – so here it is. A full digital package with every single edited image on DVD with reprint rights, so you can print as many copies as you want. It comes with easy to follow instructions, and lab suggestions. Priced at $950, it’s over $350 saving from a la carte prices. This comes in a gorgeous custom designed photo CD case like the one below:
3. A step down from the above, is the mini digital package, for $350, that includes 12 of your favorite images in high resolution with the rights to reprint. Also comes in the same custom designed photo CD case.
4. Last but not least, is the keepsake Box for $350. I fell in love with those beautiful boxes. You’ll get all your session proofs in 5×7, and store or display them in this beautiful custom designed keepsake box:
If you had a session in the past year, and are interested in any of those products, let me know by September 1st, and get $50 off.
