Maternity Photoshoot Sneak Peek

I had a very fun maternity photoshoot with Maram today over at Major's Hill Park! The weather was perfect for a shoot, with a fair bit of sun but also some very light cloud cover to diffuse it. Maram was absolutely glowing, and had a great little baby bump! Here is a quick sneak peek at just one of the great shots we took. Congrats again Maram!

Babies Contest!

It has been a while since I have had a contest on here, so lets give it a go! This contest starts right now, and will run for the next three weeks (ending February 22nd at 11:59pm EST). This contest will focus specifically on Babies, since my personal life has been revolving around babies in one way or another lately! To enter the contest email me a photo at fernmatias@gmail.com of anything having to do with Babies. All copyright licensing will remain the property of the person who took the photo (You), I just ask that you give me permission to display it here on my blog if you win. The rules of this contest are simple: YOU MUST take the photo yourself (no stealing other peoples work please!) and only one photo per person! The photo itself can be of absolutely anything having to do with Babies, so some generalization can be made but try to keep it at least relevant to the theme. Submitted photo size should be at least 1024x768 resolution please. Photoshop "adjustments" are allowed, but if you do so please try to explain what you did when you submit it. The winner will be decided by me at the end of the contest. The winner will get their photo showcased on this blog, with reference to them, and will also receive their shot printed on an 8x10! So get your photo in soon!

Need a little inspiration for the contest? Here are a few shots I took recently:
