For the last few weeks, I’ve been trying to come up with a baby plan.  No mother, that does NOT mean I am planning on having another baby…it means I wanted a plan for parents to be able to capture those milestones in a baby’s first year.  Children change THE MOST in that first year of life, and parents want to look back and remember all those details.  Especially since sleep deprivation can make those details a bit fuzzy!!

The next step in my plan…name it.  Here’s a few of the names I was thinking about:

I made a baby…now what?  The Baby Plan

Does this plan come with a nighttime nanny?  The Baby Plan

I didn’t know babies could burp that loud …The Baby Plan

Well, I take snapshots…isn’t that good enough?  The baby Plan

Finally, I decided to go with ‘Jack and Jill  | The Baby Plan’

All of my print packages have ‘first names’ in them, so I thought this was fitting! 

What does it include?  For $250 you get:

~3 full sessions:  *newborn session | *6 month session | *12 month session

~the option to add a maternity|3 month|9month session on for only $50 each.

~10% off every order during the plan 

~3 custom 5×5 mounted prints (one from each session)

Earlier this week I was able to introduce myself to a long line of beautiful, expecting momma’s (Just Between Friends-the big sale I’ve been talking about)…here was the card I handed out:

BACK

You can buy this package right on my website (go to shopping cart, then click on photo sessions, then click on jack and jill)…we can figure out the dates later!  Think of what a great mothers day present this would be!!

Help….I’m drowning…under a pile of  clothes…if I have to type: Girls Clothing Size 2T Gymboree White Blouse with Matching Capris $5.50, etc.  I’ll scream!

I’m doing JBF this year…it’s a huge consignment sale in Maple Grove this coming weekend.  It’s held at the Golf Dome, so you can imagine there are more than a few things for sale.  Here’s some of the treasures I’m selling.  Do you see how my poor background stand is bowing under the weight of toddler clothing?

While I was downloading that picture, I came across this one…doesn’t my family look angelic?  Believe me, this is SO rare! 

My niece turned 8 a few weeks ago…and she’s almost taller than I am.  sweet.  About 3 more inches and she’s got me.  How did this happen?  She’s EIGHT!  I’m thirt ….29 1/2. 

 This little mini-session I had with her did not go exactly how I envisioned, but we still got some good ones!  We had three strikes against us:

1.  It was really overcast and gloomy…I was kind of hoping for some nice sun flare!

2.  There were mosquitoes…obviously, they didn’t get the memo about not hatching until June.  Princess Sophia is deathly afraid of any insects…always has been.

3.    The boys, (my husband, brother in law, nephew, and my 2 sons) decided that riding a ‘go-cart’ through the backyard during our session wouldn’t be a distraction.  WRONG!  The girls were so jealous!

All in all, I’m still glad we got what we got~ don’t worry Soph, I’ll get you up on the website soon!

There may, or may not have been a tiny tear drop rolling down her cheek in this shot (the bugs, you know!).

Cousins!!!  And look at all the use I’m getting out of my new little umbrella’s.  I have two boy sessions this weekend…I’ll have to restrain myself!
