Saturday's Session with Brandis :) | Redlands, California | Childrens Photographer

I had a great session with Brandis' on Saturday morning. She has two absolutely adorable little ones with completely opposite personalities! It was so much fun to take pictures of the kiddos and talk to Brandis! We have a ton in common, one major one is the fact that we both cloth diaper! YAY GREEN!!!!!

Her daughter was SO shy! She eventually warmed up and became a chatter box which I COMPLETELY adore because I was exactly the same way as a child!


Here she is still not wanting anything to do with me!


She started warming up after I was taking pictures of her baby brother ;)


FINALLY!


And the baby boy was OH SO CUTE!


LOOK AT THAT SMILE!!!! ♥

I think it looks great in Black and White as well :)

Pay it Forward | Redlands, California | Family Photographer

I am a HUGE believer in Paying it Forward. All of us have been in a situation where things have been tough whether it be loss of a job, illness or just going through a rough patch. It is so wonderful when someone does something to help cheer us up, and pictures are a great pick-me-up!

The contest will start today: August 4, 2009 and run until September 1, 2009. At the end of the contest TWO lucky winners will be selected.

What the contest involves:

Please send me your name and contact information in a private email to turtledovephotography@hotmail.com (please add me to your address book so if you win I won't go to spam)

I would like you to nominate a family that you feel would benefit from receiving a session from Turtle Dove Photography. Please include why you feel they would benefit, whether it be illness, death in the family, loss of job or any other reason you feel they are more deserving than any other entry.

When the contest is closed on September 1, 2009. I hope to have a LOT of entries!

As an added bonus if the family you nominate wins then you too will receive a session with Turtle Dove Photography!

Winners will be chosen from a panel of judges by September 11, 2009. I think we all know the significance of 9/11 and what a great way to remember it!

Please remember this is about helping others so be sure to nominate someone deserving and if you don't know anyone then pass it along to your friends who may know someone.

The two winners will be notified on this blog on September 11, 2009. So please make sure to check back to see if you have won!
