5 days old. . .

and sweet as can be. I traveled a couple hours down the road to meet this little peanut. She weighed just over 6 pounds at the shoot. Mommy and daddy were all prepared when I got there with the heat turned up so she would be nice and sleepy. Well little missy had some ideas of her own about sleeping. Fortunately you can almost always wait them out. She finally gave in the last half hour and dozed off for me :)

I am working on all the edits. I have picked a couple of my favorites to get you through the next few days until the set it complete.

I would love to extend a comment challenge to you. Have 15 or more of your friends and family comment on this post and your first 25 announcements are on me :)

And the winner is . . . . .

Thank you all for participating and making the first blog contest a HUGE success. Not only do I have some great ideas for spring and summer events in the works, but lucky Jennifer has a $100 gift certificate coming her way! Please contact me (info@pureimagephotos.com) with your mailing address so I can get that to you!

From your special requests I am excited to announce one of the summer events will take place on the Oregon Coast! Dates and location to come. And from all the buzz about it I know the appointments will fill up FAST!

Stay tuned for March's contest!

Only 5 days left!

Don't forget to leave your comment for the previous post to enter the February contest! One winner will be randomly drawn and receive $100 gift card for a portrait session or to put toward prints. You can keep this for yourself, or give it away as a gift.

And here are a few from this last week!

February Blog Contest!

Thanks for your patience. Where did January go????

I will be hosting monthly blog contests for 2009. Some may run the entire month, some may last just a week, so you will have to check back often to stay in the loop.

Many of you frequent my FAVORITE coffee shop Sip & Kranz. Although their coffee is still to die for, I was SOOOOO disappointed to hear the news that the kids playroom has closed. Not only did I like to meet my girlfriends there, or take my kids there for a special treat, but it was a great way to meet many of you, my most loyal clients. It seems that Portraits in the Pearl will be no longer.

I am now looking for a new location for Portrait in the ???? (park?). Where would you like to see an event for Spring '09?

Leave a comment and you will be entered to win $100 gift card for your use, or to use a gift to someone else. Contest ends February 25. Winner announced February 26.

Bring on the suggestions!!

And because posting without a picture is silly. Here is a favorite from a recent session.
