I’m up way too late watching the Oscars and getting some work done. I really should go to bed, but first I wanted to share some of my favorites from the wonderful newborn session I shot on Friday. This beautiful little girl was just under one week old at our session. Meet baby ‘g’ …

awesome new products and some studio news | ct children’s photographer

kelli — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 20:01:45 +0000

Nothing is more classic than a traditional print (or, even better, a beautiful wall gallery) and having all of your images on CD is the perfect way to archive your memories, but I’ve been wanting to offer my clients something a bit more for a while now. That’s why I’m so excited to finally launch my product line! I have been spending a LOT of time over the past few months researching companies, searching through websites and catalogs, and ordering samples in order to bring you the best of the best products available only to professional photographers. I’m not quite done yet – I’m still in the process of designing my top-of-the-line album, a gorgeous 10×10 coffee table book with a custom image cover, and I’m putting together some beautiful birth announcements. Take a look in the boutique and let me know what you think! I love to hear client feedback and, as always, I’m open to suggestions if you’ve found something that you love that I don’t currently offer.

A few more quick announcements …

The spring newsletter is going out very soon, so if you’re not on the mailing list email me at kelli@kellidease.com.

I will be away on vacation from Wednesday, the 24th through Sunday, the 28th. All calls and emails will be answered promptly when I return.

And finally, don’t forget to enter the session giveaway contest for your chance to win a free photo session and a full digital package!

spring session giveaway! | ct children’s photographer | kelli dease photography

kelli — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 22:29:58 +0000

Last year’s session giveaway was such a success that I am doing it again!! The prize is the same: a FREE photo session and a complete digital package (valued at over $1,300!) but the contest will work just a bit differently.

So, who can enter? Anyone! (As long as you have, or are expecting, a child, that is!) How do you enter? That’s easy! You can enter once in each of the following ways:

First, enter using this link. **LIMIT ONE SUBMISSION PER PERSON, PLEASE!**
Then, follow me on Twitter. (Already following? You’re automatically entered.)
Finally, fan me on Facebook. (Already a fan? You’re automatically entered.)

That’s up to three entries per person.

** BONUS **
Forward this blog post (just use the “email a friend” button at the bottom of the post) or the entry link (http://www.kellidease.com/machform/view.php?id=3) to any and all of your friends who might be interested in winning a FREE session. Make sure to tell them to put your name on the line that says “I found out about this contest through”. For each friend that you refer, you will receive a bonus entry. (So, what if your friend wins instead of you? Don’t worry, you will receive a special gift for your referral.) The more you spread the word, the more chances you’ll have to win!

The deadline for entries is Wednesday, March 31st. A winner will be drawn at random on Thursday, April 1st and announced here on the blog.

Good luck!!

THE NECESSARY FINE PRINT: Please, please, please only submit legitimate entries using only your primary email address. You can also enter using your spouse’s name if you’d like, but don’t branch out to aunts, uncles, kids, pets, etc. Don’t spam your entire contact list with the entry link or bribe your relatives to enter and cite you as a referral. Please play fair or you WILL be disqualified!

Ok, now that we’re past that, enjoy a few pictures from last year’s winning session:

A few days ago I got to meet and photograph this beautiful newborn baby girl. A tiny little thing, but, oh, so strong. Mom and dad are completely smitten with her, and it’s easy to see why. Meet baby ‘P’ …

Sometimes I get so busy that some of my favorite sessions never make it to the blog. This family session was one of them. These photos were taken at Greenwich Point, which is one of my favorite beach locations.

Since it’s about 20 degrees outside right now, I thought we could all use a little dose of summer!

Such a great little sleeper, and eyelashes to DIE for! Meet baby ‘L’ …

baby boy ‘Q’ | danbury baby photographer | kelli dease photography

kelli — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:01:42 +0000

Just a week old, little ‘Q’ was a delight to photograph. He wasn’t too interested in sleeping at first – he wanted to check out what was going on – but it worked out great because I was able to get a great mix of awake and asleep shots.

Thank you ‘A’ – it was great to meet and work with you. I can’t wait to show you the rest of your photos.

three weeks old | southern connecticut newborn photographer | kelli dease photography

I love this time of year because I get to concentrate on my favorite subject: newborns! This little guy was a great Christmas present for mom and dad, and I had a great time doing his first official photo session. He was not too keen on sleeping and spent most of the first hour or two just staring at me, but mom was finally able to get him to pass out.

Love the little cowlick!

My first newborn of the new year, meet little ‘S’. She was so very tiny but had the fullest head of hair on her. So cute! The perfect session to start off 2010.
