This little cutie pie certainly did do that!  I just love it that when people start calling me the “Baby Whisperer” for my ability to lull newborns into an awesome and peaceful sleep for our sessions…WHAM…God reminds me that NO, I’m not responsible for that, He is.  I have to laugh. 

Although he barely slept for our session, we got some awesome stuff.  I gotta hand it to Mama, she was a trooper!  Doing everything I asked and then some.  Many blessings to your sweet family!

I’ve been posting little bits here and there on my Facebook page, but sometimes forget to share the love here as well.  This little girl was a stubborn little thing.  Breach…so her mama had to have a C-section.  At first she decided sleep was NOT gonna be in her near future during this session.  However, we finally got her to sleep though, all was well with the world.

I did her Big Brother’s newborn portraits over 3 years ago!  Boy how time flies.  There were many brother-sister shots I could have put up here.  However, I crack up when I see this one.  He was so enthralled with the “strange-looking” belly button his sister had.  He kept looking down to make sure his was not the same!  Had me laughing…

This little one was actually quite big…over 9 lbs at birth!  And, he had a bit of a rough start in the hospital.  But, now he’s home…and gorgeous!  Stop by the blog or J9 Photography Facebook page and leave the parents some love…they need it.  They are exhausted!

This couple was an absolute blast.  I think I laughed more last night than I have in a while.  They are expecting twin girls in less than 7 weeks.  She looks AMAZING, doesn’t she?  And, they were up for pretty much anything.  It’s always fun as an artist to have clients who let them just play.  Thank you so much for a fantastic time!  Here’s to many blessings and much happiness!

P.S.  I have been doing some sneak peeks over on my FB page.  Feel free to drop by any time at the J9 Photography Facebook page!

Seems like something is in the water here these days…and it’s producing the most BEAUTIFUL babies!  Oh how I adore my job.  These little ones are such miracles.  I love hearing each and every story.  The miracle of birth will never cease to amaze me.

April showers bring May flowers???  Nope, not at J9 Photographer.  It brings Fine Art!  All Metals, Metal Murals and Acrylics are 40% off during the month of May.  Maybe you want to order a piece from a previous session.  Or, you want to “hold” one until your upcoming session.  Whatever your choice, it’s only here for the month of May.  This offer can’t be combined with any other awesome offer J9 Photographer has or will put out.  Additionally, all purchases must be paid for during the month of May…whether you are holding it for an upcoming session or getting one from a previous session.

I’m often reminded on how horrible I am at posting up portraits of recent sessions.  I guess at this point, I should stop apologizing, as everyone KNOWS how horrible I can be at that. 

This family is one so dear to my heart.  I’ve had the awesome privilege to photograph them several times over the years.  Maternity, newborns, family times…you get the picture (YES, pun intended here, LOL!).  They are as beautiful inside as they are on the outside.  It was hard to pick just a few I liked, as I loved most of them from the session. 

Thank you for inviting me into your lives once again.  How many times can I say that I REALLY do have the best job in the world?

Location, Location, Location.  Spring has sprung and after having lived here for a year, I’m so ready to find all those “awesome” little places I don’t know about (which are numerous, I’m sure).  So, I’m announcing a contest.  I am looking for some cool, neat places to shoot.  Think outside of the box…gardens, urban, hip, different.  Whatever!  They JUST have to be in the Winchester, VA area.

You MUST be a J9 Photography fan on Facebook to be eligible.  So…if you aren’t…come on over and become one.  Then, post either there or here on the blog (under this post) your suggestion.  Contest ends April 20th when I randomly draw from those who followed the rules to award a session and mounted 10×20 signature storyboard from that session. 

 Easy Peasy.  I can’t WAIT to see your creativity.  Good luck…

I have two more open dates for shoots in April.  April 17th and April 19th.  As always, it’s on a first-come, first-served basis.  LOVE seeing all the kiddos I’ve photographed as infants and how much they have grown over the years.  This will be my last shoots until this fall in Georgia.  Thank you my Georgia friends!!!
