New blog and new website!!

As 2008 draws to a close, I'm happy to say that after 2 days of locking myself in my office, my new blog and new website (a second site devoted to NEWBORNS only, my main website will still be active as well) are LIVE! They are imperfect and will get some tweaking in the weeks to come, but I'm just happy to have met my goal of having them live by Wednesday! And I can't lock myself in the office anymore this week so improvements will have to wait! So check them out, bookmark them, and never come here again, hee hee. Well unless you want to look up an old session I guess?

NEW WEBSITE: www.babysnapnewborns.com

Changes are on the horizon!

So in keeping up with blogging at least once a week during my time off, I thought I'd write about some changes that are happening here at BabySnap this month and into 2009! First of all, this is one of the last posts you'll read on this here ol' blog! I've upgraded to a brand spankin' new, shiny, fresh, clean, fancy blog! It will house HUGE images, which I love most of all! As soon as I get it up and running, I'll post the new link and you guys can change the link in your blog readers!

Other exciting news: I will be launching a new website, nope it's not replacing the current BabySnap website, it will be *in addition* to it and will focus on a particular specialty. More details to come soon!

And lastly, I'll be bringing in the new year with some new pricing, new exciting products, and a new collection!

Don't forget, book your 2009 session now to lock in this year's prices and if you book a newborn session in the next 2 weeks, the session fee is 50% off!

In closing, here's another favorite from a recent session:

20 days left!

I cant believe how fast December is flying by! I've been busy ordering, packaging, mailing, and delivering! Soon enough though I'll be moving on to baking and shopping, I love the holidays! In the meantime, my newborn special is good for 20 more days: 50% off of the newborn session fee! Book your newborn session for 2009 now to save some cash, you can buy an extra holiday gift with the extra money! Also, ANY session booked now will be locked into the 2008 prices, as my prices will be changing slightly in 2009. So give me a call or drop me an email and we'll get the calendar out!

I know I'm on vaca this month, but bffs still get squeezed in lol! I did my friend's maternity session just 2 weeks ago, 4 days later her Thanksgiving bundle arrived! Here are a few favs of sweet baby Delilah, born at almost 38 weeks, and joyfully didn't need the NICU like 2 of her older brothers. Congrats Rebekah and Josh, you know she's beautiful! :o)





Her diva picture, love this blanket!

So I figure this month I'll just post random images, favorites from client sessions that I come across while placing orders and archiving, or even some of my own kiddos. I'm not truly into my month off yet, as I still have one client session to proof (if you're reading this, it's you Ashley!) and several orders to place, but it's still nice to spend my weekends with the fam! I thought I'd bring in December with this little Santa's helper, isn't she a doll?

Thankful

I'm late doing a T-Day post but wanted to still say how incredibly thankful I am for all of the blessings in my life. I never take for granted all that I have, I'm thankful each day for how rich and fullfilling my life is. There are 6 reasons I am most thankful, 6 reasons I get out of bed on days when I'm tired, 6 reasons I work hard everyday, and look forward to each new experience. The first of the six is my amazing husband, I hit the jackpot when he fell in love with me, he's the most supportive husband and an incredible father. The other 5 changed me forever, are my full-time job, bring me so much joy, and are here in this snap:
