We are so excited to announce that we are teaming up with Sondra, from Simplistic by Sondra, to create new images for her website! Sondra creates fun and unique knitted items for babies.  She does beautiful work and needs a way to show it off!  In order to create these photos, we are offering the first 10 people to respond to us a FREE photo shoot!  You may respond on Facebook, by email, or by phone to secure your spot.  Please see details below. 

 

To qualify: 

Your baby must be newborn – 8 months old during the month of June (that means if you are pregnant but due before June, you may still qualify).
All shoots are taking place in June, so you must be available to schedule your shoot during that time.
You must be willing to sign a model release giving Simplistic by Sondra and Crystal Jones Photography the right to use the images from your shoot for advertising and promotional purposes. 

You must be a fan of both Simplistic by Sondra and Crystal Jones Photography on Facebook. 

Once you have booked your shoot, we will not reschedule for any reason. If you cannot make it to your scheduled shoot, your spot will be forfeited.

You must schedule an in-person viewing and ordering appointment with Crystal Jones Photography in order to view and purchase your photos.  These appointments must be scheduled during the months of July and August.  You will receive 10% off of a la carte items at that time.  Packages will not be discounted any further.

There is nothing I love more than a newborn baby to photograph.  So sleepy, so peaceful, so beautiful.  The possibilities are endless.  If you are pregnant and considering having newborn portraits done, but aren’t sure if you would like them, please set up a consultation with me.  We can go over all of your options and plan a wonderful session for you.  These are precious moments you can never get back.  Your baby will never be so small or delicate again.

Look at my little nephew, Atreyu!  This is him at one week old with his absolutely adoring parents.  Of all the ways to capture your new baby and your family, I think this is the most beautiful.   These are intimate portraits of their new family and new life.  I’m so excited to be an aunt and I love him more than words can say!

Look at this cutie!  I was lucky enough to take these photos when she was just a week old and super tiny!  She’s so beautiful and sweet!  I’m so happy for her parents and hope to get to document the rest of her first year.

Awwww!  Look at these little girls!  They were only about 5 pounds at the time we took the photos even though they were about 1 month old.  They are so precious and tiny.  I’ve always been fascinated with twins and wished that I had a twin when I was growing up.  I think the bond they have is so amazing and unique.  I honestly don’t know how parents do it though!  Even with mom and dad there to take care of them it was still a challenge.  Being a parent is definitely the hardest job on earth and I give so much respect to them.  Hopefully it has gotten a little easier as they have gotten a little older. 

Here he is!  The cutest little guy you’ve ever seen.  I’ve been friends with Lisa since high school and it’s weird to think that we are old enough to be married and have kids, but I’m so happy for her and her husband.  She’s so in love with her little guy and I don’t blame her!  I can’t get enough of him and I can’t take enough pictures of him.  He probably won’t recognize me without my camera.

Check out this little cutie!  He is sooo adorable!  I had such a nice time photographing this little guy.  He was so calm and sweet.  Unfortunately, his older brother had to make a presentation at school, so he couldn’t be there.  Hopefully next time I’ll be able to get the two men of the house together.  Congratulations on your new addition guys!

Well, I did say Lisa and I would do another maternity session and we finally did – right before she gave birth.  She still looked amazing days before her son was born.  Lucky woman!  Her husband joined her for this session and I’m so glad he did.  You can tell how much he wants to be a dad and loves his baby boy!  Enjoy!
