Sweetest preemie twin girls

I was so honoured and pleased to be able to do the photographic art for these two new little arrivals just after they were home from the hospital. They're not identical twins, and one weighed a good pound more than her sister, but they were utterly cute and dear. Mom was pretty awesome herself. These are babies three and four for their now 6 person family, so she's got her hands more than full. But she was as calm and tender as the day is long.

Woo Hoo! We're open again! MODEL SEARCH and SPECIALS

Good news! After a frustrating and prolonged renovation and more than a month late, we're re-opening our doors for sessions, and, as a lucky aside, now that we can indulge all our whims, we're looking for models to expand our repertoire!

MODEL SEARCH

We're looking for girls with long hair between 8-12 years of age for a series of poetic photographs. Sweet, soft, and old-fashioned, these will be captured outdoors and indoors, in simple white shifts and with bird nests, eggs, flowers, teddy bears, possibly wings.

And the SPECIALS!

To celebrate the new digs, Jane Photo is having a special on session fees for June only. All in-studio sessions will be $50, and all on-location lifestyle sessions will be $99. We are even setting this low, low, low session fee for sweet newborns whose sessions normally take about 4 hours. Woo hoo!

CALENDAR SHOOT

In honour of the fundraising drive at BC Children's Hospital, Jane Photo is seeking 20 children whose parents are interested in having them pose for a 2009 calendar. The cost for the shoot is $99 (per child), includes a copy of the calendar in time for holiday gifts, and Jane Photo will donate $50 per session to the hospital. All children will be considered for inclusion in the final calendar. Sessions will take place in the studio only.

We have a whole kaboodle of cool new ideas, and we want to play!

Well, it was a tie!

Talulah



Oliver


If you keep up with things on this blog you'll know we held a contest for the youngest newborn photographed in February. Was I surprised when our wee-est ones turned out to have been born on the very same day, February 9.

First up, there's a little girl who was absolutely inconsolable when she had to be out of her loving mama's arms but who is as sweet as the day is long. Her name is Talulah. As soon as she was back in her mama's wrap, she was happy as a clam.

Second up, there's a little boy who wasn't much keener than Talulah at being parted from his parents' tender touch. Named Oliver, he too is absolutely darling, and he did manage, finally, to fall a little bit asleep.

I always wonder how often I can lose my heart to these little sweetie pies I photograph, and I know that the answer is endlessly.

The prize was meant to be a 20 page book of the winning baby's images, and I have mulled over how to approach this rather charming dilemma. I thought about checking on what time the babies arrived, and awarding the prize to whomever popped out first on February 9, but that seemed somehow mean-spirited to me. So I'm pleased to announce that both of these lucky babies will be gifted with a Jane Photo 20-page Asukabook!
