My goodness! Time has really gotten away from me this week. Lots of ordering and proofing sessions going on right now. And there was an awesome session with one of my favorite families this week and I am looking forward to blogging about that soon! But right now I need to remind everyone that my special offer to families having a baby this year is about to expire! The last day to take advantage of this promotion is tomorrow. If you missed the post last week, here is the 411:

From now till the end of the month, book your 2010 newborn photography session with Ashley Ward Photography and purchase any available package and receive a custom 10×20 storyboard as a gift – retail value $175! If you have already booked, don’t fret. Because I love my fresh little clients so much, I am extending the offer to families who have already booked their upcoming newborn photo shoots with me;) But after next week this offer is over. So if you are due to deliver in 2010, I’d love to hear from you!

I have missed working with newborns the past few weeks! I couldn’t wait to arrive for this precious baby girl’s newborn photography session. She took her time falling asleep while I was there but she was so sweet and it was worth all the time we spent in soothing and rocking and cuddling….which is always good for my spirit anyway:)

Mom, thank you so much for sticking in there and waiting for her to hit that heavier sleep with me. I hope you will agree that it was worth the wait and that you enjoy this preview:) Have 35 unique friends and/or family members leave a comment on the post and receive a 5×7 portrait of your choice on me. Get 50 comments and receive an 8×10! I look forward to seeing you and this sweet princess again soon.

What fun! This is one of the happiest little boys I have met…….an absolute doll and pleasure to photograph. His whole family loves golf, especially the grandaddies. So, mom and dad decided the best place for his 1 year photo session had to be a golf course. And they chose well! Baby boy was a natural and made this session so much fun. I just love when the parents want something a little different:)
