And I’ve already had the pleasure of meeting the beautiful baby. Thanks so much to the W family for letting me capture and share these images!

You still haven’t entered for your chance to win a free session?  There’s still time, but not much! Deadline for entries into the Nursery Contest is end of day tomorrow, the 28th.  Send in your snapshots, and your little one could be the star of a photo session, just like little CJ up there.  (I’ll share more of him later!)

Find all the details for contest entry here.

Thanks again to the W family for having me visit!

Looking forward to meeting your little one!!

***Don’t forget to check out The Nursery Contest! You have until the end of February to enter – that’s probably sooner than you think! If your child doesn’t qualify, pass it along to a friend or relative who would like a free session for their baby. And remember, there are participating photographers across the country!

Is your baby between 5 and 12 months old (ideally sitting!)?

Do you have a super cool nursery?

Would you be interested in winning a free session?

If you answered yes to all three of these questions, we would love to see pictures. What’s in it for you? A chance to win a free photography session featuring your baby and your nursery! We would like to see between 1-4 photographs of your space. At least one photograph must include your child in the nursery itself. We are looking for creative use of light, color and design elements. Images must be taken by you or someone in your family (we are really saying “please don’t submit images taken by another professional photographer.”)

All submissions must be received by midnight, February 28, 2010.

Entries will be judged by a panel of photographers who will narrow down the selection to no more than 5 nurseries. The finalists will be posted on the Seedlings Photography blog and the winner will be chosen via a public voting poll. Voting will occur between March 7-March 13, 2010. There are specific rules around voting that will be clarified during the voting round of the contest.

Winners will be announced on March 15, 2010.  Winning session must take place between March 22 – May 22. Winners must sign a release to allow Seedlings Photography to display images on blog, website, Facebook Business Page and any other print or web materials as deemed appropriate.
