2012 is Leap year, everyone knows it. But this year is special to some people not just because of that extra day on the calendar. I know people who were born on February 29th and get a rare chance to celebrate the actual birthday. I actually gave birth to one of those people. Yes, my almost 8 year old son was born on February 29th. I remember my doctor saying “I wanted to catch a leap year baby..” I was not happy with his wish being granted

So, do you know anyone pregnant and due at the end of February? Are you pregnant? Are you feeling anxious about February 29th birth? Don’t be! It might be a great thing – in a spirit of being Leap year baby mom, I am donating one full newborn session with a set of digital negatives (value $1500) to a lucky baby born on February 29th, 2012. Please, send me an email with your name and due date at lina.jarmond@gmail.com. And if you deliver on February 29th, I will get to meet your growing family. Note: Only one free session will be donated at the discretion of the photographer; priority will be given to moms on my list.

But don’t get sad if your baby is not going to be born on February 29th. All booked newborn sessions with babies due in February and March will receive a complimentary six months session, just in time for those precious baby smiles. Six months is such a great age to photograph! Send me an email to lina.jarmond@gmail.com to inquire and book your newborn session. Note: 6 months old or whenever baby is sitting up without assistance.

If you are pregnant, a maternity session is a fabulous way to remember how beautiful you looked. I know you may not think so now, but in a few years you will remember it as a blissful time. This family below have already welcomed their second son whom I met least week. Their maternity session was all about their growing, happy family. Don’t they look amazing?!

After listening to so many clients saying “oh, I’ve never even seen your website, only your blog…..I was browsing on a tablet while lounging on the couch…”, I knew it was time to catch up with latest trends of technology and make sure anyone anywhere can see my portfolio. New website is compatible with all mobile devices – no more restrictions! There are still a few bugs to be worked out and a few changes to be made, but for the most part – it’s done!

I would love to hear your feedback – anything to improve? Just shoot me an email lina.jarmond@gmail.com, and let me know.

And with this improvement, there is some great news coming up – something new for newborn sessions, something new for leap year babies (I am a mom to one of them ) and of course many beautiful images to share from the end of 2011 sessions.

So I am on a mission – a mission to find twins and triplets of the Triangle. Therefore, I am announcing a Multiple Newborns Special. If you are due with twins or triplets (or quadruplets or even more babies at the same time ), your entire session fee will be credited towards your purchase of prints and products. Plus, every family will receive a special gift from me to decorate their walls – you will love it, I guarantee it.

Pass along this wonderful special to anyone you know who is pregnant with multiples, or belongs to multiples moms’ group, or knows somebody who knows somebody who is pregnant with multiples. I would love to meet them and capture their freshness and amazing bond.

Meanwhile, sharing one of many newborn twin sessions – one boy, one girl. I was blessed to capture them with my great friend Julie. We love working together, and if you are pregnant with twins or triplets, you will get to meet her too!

Inseparable from birth
You couldn’t find one
without the other

If you would like to be the first to know about all the happenings at Lina Jarmond Photography, please, consider signing up for LJP Newsletter.

I am continuing to book fall sessions all the way to December as well as newborn sessions due any time in 2011 and 2012. Please email me at lina.jarmond@gmail.com if you’d like to learn more about booking a session. Maternity sessions are best booked early and shot between 32-36 weeks. Newborn sessions are best booked before your baby is born, so the session can occur before your newborn is two weeks of age. I already have newborns due in March and April on my calendar. It is never too early to get on my calendar!
