Introducing Baby Owen…

Baby Owen was born on February 2nd, so he was just barely 3 weeks old at the time of this photo shoot last month.  I have taken photos of his older brother,  2 year old Maxwell, before and I knew what a cutie he was.  I figured the newest addition to the family would be just as cute.  I love it when I’m right.  :)

During the whole photoshoot, Maxwell kept asking me 2 things again and again:  “Do you wanna play?” and “Do you wanna hot dog?”  The answer to both questions was always yes.    However, I was never served a hot dog, which is too bad because I was getting pretty hungry :)   Maybe this important phone call he is making here is to order us some hot dogs? ?

Baby Owen was getting pretty hungry during the photoshoot, too, so he took a snack break, with help from Maxwell and their dad, Andy.

Here’s Owen with his Mommy and Daddy:

And the whole family:

I couldn’t post photos of a newborn without including at least one photo of adorable baby feet:

This is the perfect way to end a session:

New ordering system

I have recently launched a new ordering system that adds a whole bunch of neat features and will make ordering prints through my website easier for my clients.  You can preview it here.    New features include:

  • Individual image downloads:  Immediately download individual images from your session!  Image downloads come in 3 different sizes, ranging from “perfect for your Facebook profile” size to “perfect to frame on your wall” size   
  • Ability to create a user name and password so you can save your favorites and order history
  • Easily redeem your print credits using an access code
  • Early bird specials:  Receive a 10% discount when you order prints within a week of your gallery being posted.
  • Gift registry:  Perfect for weddings or baby showers.  Register and your guests can contribute toward your photography package as a gift. 
  • Free ice cream

Ok, so I made up the last one.  Since it’s getting warmer outside, my mind is on ice cream.  I can’t help it.

I’m really excited about this new system and I’d love to hear your feedback.   

Also, I wanted to say a big THANK YOU! to everyone that has become a fan of my Sarah Parent Photography Facebook Page.   I felt like the new girl and everyone made me feel so welcome :)    I’m still learning and was thrown a huge curveball when Facebook changed their layout, but my page is getting there and I appreciate everyone’s support.

Since no post is truly complete without a photo, here’s sneak peak at a post coming up soon:

 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!

Natane and her girls

Last month when we had a rare warm-ish February day, Natane decided she would like some photos taken of her and her adorable girls.  So we headed out to Happy Hollow Park to enjoy the sunshine:

Here’s 3 year old Natyla and her 2 year little sister, Jonné:

Natane is a hip, fun mom.  I think these shoes are pretty rockin’ :)

For this one I was trying to get everyone to jump up and down– Only Natane was listening :)  

Natlya loves the camera

Jonné is giving me a look here that I like to call the “Why are you still taking my picture after I told you I want to go play on the swings?” It’s the look that only 2 year old can pull off. 

All 3

I feel like once you have kids, you are so focused on getting pictures of the little ones that you rarely have photos taken solo, so I also got a few of Natane by herself. 

I hope everyone is having a great week!  I’m looking forward to more springtime weather.  I’m also looking forward to launching my new photo ordering system soon.

Hi, I’m new here.

I realize I’m a bit late to the Facebook party, but I recently launched my new Facebook page

 
Please stop by and say hi and, if you become a Fan, I will most likely jump up and down and shout to my husband, “Hey! I have a new Facebook Fan!” 
I’m not going to lie, it makes me feel pretty special.
