Third Semi-Annual Blog Scavenger Hunt

Jillian Kirby — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:13:31 +0000

It’s back!! For the third time we’re going to be holding our Semi-Annual Blog Scavenger Hunt! It’s been so much fun in the past and we’ve had such good responses that we can’t wait to hold it again! For those of you who don’t know what it is, just type in “scavenger hunt” in the search bar above to check out past games, prizes and winners… but here’s some details:

On Monday morning (that’s Monday February 6th at 9:00am), I will post a list of 10 questions. These questions will be about posts I have written 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, 2012. Expect to book your session 2-3 months in advance. Any additional prints, digital files or products can be purchased at regular pricing.

Just to give you a heads up…. last time we held this contest back in June, the winner submitted her answers within 5 minutes of the questions going live!! And all three winners had their answers submitted within 55 seconds of each other…. so be ready at 9am on the 6th! See ya there!

Evan

Jillian Kirby — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:51:57 +0000

Mr. Evan is a bambino member so I have been lucky enough to document his mama’s belly, his newborn shots and now his 6 month session and it’s just so lovely to follow along as he has grown! Look how adorable he is!! I just want to pinch those little cheeks!

Thanks for coming back in C family and I hope to see you again really soon!

Zachias

Jillian Kirby — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:56:05 +0000

From the moment this little guy walked in, he completely stole my heart!! Look at this little face!! Just the sweetest… but more importantly, he had the most adorable little personality that one just can’t help but fall in love with. I adored all the little faces that he gave me and we had such a great time at the session. Thank you to Zach’s mommy for bringing him for the morning!

Numsa

Jillian Kirby — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:19:52 +0000

What a little personality!!! Numsa had tons of it! And such a good girl… so happy to be here. I just loved her!!

Melissa

Jillian Kirby — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:01:00 +0000

Just a brief post of this beautiful friend of mine and her gorgeous family! If you follow my blog, you may remember Melissa…. more on that in the newborn post!! Till then, beautiful Melissa!

Chloe

Jillian Kirby — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:00:45 +0000

This isn’t much of a sneak peek since Chloe’s mommy already has her gallery but this little chunky monkey was just too sweet and adorable not to share!! Can you blame me!?!?

Ariana

Jillian Kirby — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 19:24:54 +0000

Mommy and Daddy were so excited when we told them we could squeeze them in for a session with their dear little Ariana! In my line of work, it seems that I’m either smokin’ busy cause all my babies decided to come in the same week, or it’s dead slow cause none of my mommas have given birth yet. Soooo, sometimes ya luck out when you call last minute, and that’s exactly what happened for Ariana! And aren’t I happy… cause look how absolutely adorable she is!!!!

Sebastian

Jillian Kirby — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 02:38:32 +0000

Sebastian was in a while back so this isn’t a sneak peek but I just wanted to put him up on the blog cause he’s just so darn cute… what a little peanut!!!

Stella

Jillian Kirby — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 22:01:16 +0000

Little Miss Stella was a model baby for one of the posing workshops I taught this year. So cooperative back then and still just as sweet as ever. This isn’t much of a sneak peek as the gallery is almost up, but better late than never! How could I not show off this adorable little face!!

Charlie

Jillian Kirby — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 21:00:21 +0000

Charlie is a Bambino Member so he was in here 7 months ago when he was a newborn… back when he was all tiny and sleepy and sweet. Well…. Charlie is still sooo sweet and what a little personality! I absolutely adored photographing him again and I can’t believe how much he looks like his newborn pictures!!

Cezar

Jillian Kirby — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 20:49:45 +0000

Last week I had a run of such unique names… I just love it! One of my clients once told me that she picked her baby name by going through my blog and looking at the last few years’ blog posts. I must say that I don’t get a lot of repeats… my clients are very original when they pick their baby’s names and that’s just how it should be!

Enter in Mr. Cezar! I absolutely adore it and he was definitely a “Cezar” if ever I saw one… strong, charming and stoic!

Enjoy!

Oscar

Jillian Kirby — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:45:38 +0000

Catching up on blog posts again… somehow I have managed to fall behind once again! I guess it’s that time of year!!

Our newsletter is on it’s way out so if you’d like to be included, please email Shannon at info@jilliankirbybaby.com.

Another little PSA while I’m at it… I’ve had a lot of calls this week for newborn sessions and unfortunately I’m all booked up thru the New Year. I absolutely hate turning people away. If you’d like to have a session with me and you’re expecting, please try and book in as early as possible to ensure that you get a spot on our Due Date List. We only take a limited number of due dates a month to ensure that we can get your session done in a timely manner, no matter when your little one decides to make his/her appearance so contact us soon!

Alrighty! Now that’s all out of the way, here is sweet Mr. Oscar! Don’t you love the originality of his name?! I don’t think I’ve ever photographed an Oscar. Just love it! Without further ado… Oscar!

Kennedy

Jillian Kirby — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:11:30 +0000

Kennedy had me wrapped around her little finger from the moment I saw her! I mean look at her!! She’s gorgeous… and that hair! Oh that hair!! Her mommy and daddy are just smitten and the session was so lovely! I had a wonderful time visiting with you all again!!

Lucas

Jillian Kirby — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:56:33 +0000

Dear sweet Lucas…. I predict big things for you. I can see your intelligence shining through already in your alertness and the way you intently stared at me. And although you didn’t sleep through our session, your charm was so apparent and it was a joy to meet you!

McCarten

Jillian Kirby — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:49:30 +0000

This little lady has the sweetest name! Actually I’ve had a week full of awesome-ly unique names and they’re all coming on the blog. Thank you to all my clients for being so patient while I recovered from pneumonia. I’m back on my feet (after a two week stint in bed!!) and am getting back at it and trying to frantically catch up on editing.

HUGE thanks goes out to my wonderful Studio Manager, Shannon, who kept the place running smoothly while I was out of commission! Not the best time of year to be sick!

Ok back to the absolutely adorable newborn baby that this post is about… darling McCarten!

Sienna

Jillian Kirby — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:01:29 +0000

What can I say? 6-8 month old babies just hold a special place in my heart. Something about their innocence and how content they are. It doesn’t take much to get a smile out of these little ones and when you do, it’s like you’ve won a prize.

Sweet Sienna was no different. Such a doll… no fuss, no muss. Just content, happy, adorable Sienna!

Stephanie

Jillian Kirby — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:30:09 +0000

It’s just so awesome to laugh with clients… and help them feel comfortable in the studio. I know what it’s like being in front of a camera and it’s definitely not something that’s easy for everyone… but if we can start laughing, it just makes things that much more fun and enjoyable! These two were just so much fun to have in the studio and I can’t wait to see them back for baby! Hope you love the images guys!

Saria

Jillian Kirby — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 02:26:18 +0000

I absolutely adore my newborns that come in to the studio but sometimes it’s just so nice to work with adults. Sometimes it’s just a nice little change to work with subjects that can take direction! LOL

Saria is gorgeous and I loved working with her. She was up for anything and her style fit mine perfectly! I hope you love the images Saria!

Aaron

Jillian Kirby — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 17:16:18 +0000

Oh this little guy was so tiny…. so very tiny! Love getting the shots of little details that the parents may not remember in a couple years. And we all know how quickly they change! Mommy and Daddy are completely smitten. Love it.

Matteo

Jillian Kirby — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 06:20:47 +0000

Matteo came by to see me and brought his adorable older sisters. I just absolutely adore these girls and had so much chatting with them while mommy fed little brother. And just look at him! Have you ever seen anything so sweet in your life? That wisp of blonde hair! Such a lovely family, I can’t wait to see them again at the 6 months session! Thanks M family!
