And this is how it works:

Next Monday morning (that’s Monday July 18th at 9:00am), I will post a list of 10 questions. These questions will be about newborns I have photographed over the last year. With the details that I give you, you will have to find their particular blog post and retrieve the answer to a question about that post. The answers will have to be exact and no “pretty close” answers will be accepted.

Then, you will compile your answers (listed and numbered 1 to 10) and email them to me at jillian@jilliankirbybaby.com. The first 3 emails I get in my inbox with all the CORRECT answers will win prizes!

What are the prizes you ask!?

Grand Prize: A full session fee, one digital file and one 11×14 Dry Mounted Print of your choice from your session! (Value of $595)

Second Prize: A full session fee and one 11×14 Dry Mounted Print (Value of $345)

Third Prize: A full session fee  (Valued at $225)

Now what is the fine print? Read on to find out!

These prizes have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash. The prizes are transferable and can be given as a gift. The prizes must be used towards a baby session (one year and younger). Prizes are dependent on availability. Sessions must take place in my Langley, BC studio. Prizes must be redeemed before December 31st, 2011. Expect to book your session 2-3 months in advance. Any additional prints, digital files or products can be purchased at regular pricing.

The contest was VERY close! While the first place winner came in a good 4 minutes ahead of second place, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth all came in within 40 seconds of each other. The rest came in over the following 20 minutes and it’s now slowed down.

I just want to thank everyone for playing! It was so much fun to create it and I hope to do it again soon! So… on to the winners…. drum roll please…….

Grand Prize: Courtney Patterson

Second Prize: Christine Doerksen

Third Prize:  Atika Singh

Congratulations to these ladies! I will be in touch today to let you know how to redeem your prizes, etc.

Again, thank you all for playing!!

And because I have fallen soooooooo far behind on my blogging, let’s take this opportunity to blog two of the most adorable and sweet sisters I’ve seen! Couldn’t you just eat them!?

I am so looking forward to 2011. A LOT. There are some really cool things on the horizon and I can’t wait to get going. But first, I was thinking the other day that I haven’t held a blog contest in a LONG time! And perhaps the New Year is a fantastic time to make up for that! So here we go!!

This is my first ever Blog Scavenger Hunt!

It was also so cool to see that other local business’s took this as inspiration and did their own versions of this. So thank you all so much for your generosity and time!

Happy Holidays!!

Check out Total Baby. You know that sheet the nurses give you at the hospital? The one that you have to complete for every feed, every dirty diaper, etc. etc.? Well this app records it all for you! It has a timer so it’ll time your feeds for you AND it will email the report straight to your doctor/midwife!! It’s super user-friendly and beats searching for a pen every time you want to record something.

It’s $4.99 but totally worth it in my opinion… cause…. who doesn’t have their iPhone/iPod Touch right beside them at all time!?! 

Check it out! Total Baby App!

Ok folks, what baby friendly apps do you use?

For all my mommas-to-be (and even those that have already been through it!), this is for you! Drag the little lever to watch what happens to your organs as baby grows!!
