I am very excited to announce that I am going to be having a special day of mini sessions at Dimples & Dandelions, a fabulous new children’s boutique at the new Shops at Starwood in Frisco, TX.  They also have a online store with thousands of fun options for clothes, accessories, gifts, gear, and nursery furniture!  

I feel we are a match made in heaven ~ I am often complemented on my style of photography, being soulful, dreamy, light as air, and colorful. And FUN! I strive to achieve these characteristics in every frame.  Dimples & Dandelions is much the same, with colorful outfits and accessories, soulful vintage style, light as air tutus and petti skirts, and a fun dreamy attitude towards children’s clothing. 

This contest is for 2 great prizes – to win a FREE Dimples & Dandelions Mini Session spot and a $50 gift certificate to use in the Dimples & Dandelions store!  I will choose 2 winners at random again using the nifty Random Number Generator.

Fun right??? And easy to enter

HOW? Just leave a comment in the box below this blog post with your favorite quote or poem. I’m looking for poignant words about childhood and life, as dreamy and lovely as childhood itself  :-)

Entries will be allowed until 10pm this friday, October 2nd.  

Only ONE entry per valid email allowed.  Violators will be prosecuted disqualified and added to my “annoying human-being” list.  And duh, how am I supposed to contact you as the winner if your email doesn’t work…

Best of luck to all who play!

Peace Love & lots of pretty Pictures,

I love this little girl! We got SOOOO many great ones Congrats again little  ZF7!

Congratulations to Amy Carey!! Lucky number nine

My favorite thing about Christmas is like many of you, seeing the magic and wonder in my babies eyes.  This Christmas is especially exciting for my family because my sweet baby Alina will be turning 1 just 3 days before Santa comes! It will be an even more  HUGE holiday at my house from now on! 

Thanks to everyone who played If you didn’t win, don’t worry, my next contest will be announced in just a day or two and it’s a fun one with really GREAT PRIZES!

 

I will post my Holiday card designs here as soon as they are complete, and Amy – check your email!!

peace, love, & pictures,

~jonnye

The last one was a whopping success, so of coarse I had to do another! This one is a bit smaller, and easier for more people to enter (no gorgeous baby eyes required)

Just leave a comment in the box below – what is your favorite thing about the holidays? 

I know, the holidays?? already?!?   YEP.  They are sneaking up on me too.

I will use the random number generator to select the winner.  Super easy right?

Now for the prize…. The winner will receive coffee (or whatever you like) on me, with me, while we discuss your holiday card design for your free 25/pk of Christmas cards!  You don’t need to have had a session with me, I also have some beautiful designs on fine art papers available. If I have done your holiday session, or a planning to do it soon, we will incorporate your session images into your favorite design.  

If you are not so hip on the Christmas card design, I’ll still give you a yummy treat – A Coffee n cream gift card

Let’s get started!  I will pick the winner on monday night – that gives you 3 and a half days to enter, and only comments with valid email addresses please!!

I just LOVE this little boy – gorgeous eyes with LONG lashes, and great energy! You can tell he liked to jump, a lot! Once he started he just didn’t want to stop – but it was awesome because he was so happy and having so much fun – that’s what it’s all about!  Thanks for choosing me and visiting my studio.  Enjoy your pics!

and dimples too – love it!

I photographed one of my sweetest little baby planners the other day, and even through the rain tried to shut us down we still got some great pictures! Enjoy

I am so excited to announce my 2 winners! Congratulations to ZF7,

beautiful little Zoe, with so many fans out there (and in many different countries!)  She won first place with a whopping total of 292 votes!  WOW!!!

I just want to say thank you so much to those who entered and played – I had no idea this contest would be so much fun.  I am already planning my next fun thing, so please bookmark my blog and check back often!

THIS CONTEST IS OVER & VOTING HAS ENDED! WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN A NEW BLOG POST VERY SOON!!!   ~jonnye

UPDATE HAS BEEN ADDED – check the blog comments below

{No new entries ~ Voting only until Thursday at midnight}

*** Since I’m a girl and we tend to change our minds once in a while,  I have decided to award both first AND SECOND place winners FREE SESSIONS! Can I get a woohoo??

***Cheating votes will not be counted. One vote per valid email address. 

I have gotten a few questions, so just to clarify…

Your baby is your baby, no matter his or her age!  Your school age children need free sessions too!

Fabulous eyes run in your family but you don’t want to play favorites?  Send me pics of both siblings and I will group them together to be voted on under one code.  I will of coarse include pics of fabulous eyed family members in the free session too! 

Fur babies?!?! YES! Send in your pics of those sweet sad puppy dog eyes!    Cats….. uhhhh, I’m kinda allergic… like a lot…

Want to use my pics of your kids as your entry photo? hmmmm… I am preferring snapshots for the sake of consistency, but if you must, you must…  

Remember folks, it isn’t necessarily the quality of the pics you enter, but the quantity of friends and family you have with the free time to vote!!! 

I will be updating this blogpost & posting the tallies as the votes and more entries come in, so get to emailing! Tweeting! FaceBooking! MySpacing!  I will accept emails from voters with either the kid or family’s name or code that’s been added to each entry pic.  *** edited to add, I will accept comments here as well, just know that I have to approve each and every one, so don’t get frustrated if your comment doesn’t show up immediately.

Here’s the link for your copy & pasting convenience: http://www.jbowerphoto.com/blog/?p=436

There is still time to get your entries in, just email me a pic of your baby and their beautiful eyes to jonnyebowerphoto@mac.com and I will add it here

without further adieu… 

 

I have been wanting to do some contests SO BADLY and I appreciate everyone’s patience while I get caught up enough on life and work to finally have one! If you don’t get in now, don’t worry, I have many more planned… though not all prizes will be this good!

Here we go,

Who’s baby has the most beautiful eyes in the world?

Yours, right??  

Send me a photo of your baby’s eyes and I will post it on the blog with a special code.

Your friends and family can vote for the baby with the best eyes by emailing me at jonnyebowerphoto@mac.com

The baby with the most votes by thursday Sept 17th will win a FREE SESSION! 

Since it wouldn’t be right to post without an image, here’s my sweet baby with her funny face & and her gorgeous eyes

New baby in the family

(I am posting this sneak peek alongside another so as not to bump the contest going on… If you haven’t already, please go and vote – and help a sweet baby get a free session with yours truly!)

I love this family so much – it’s hard for me to believe how much time has passed since my first session with the now big brother – I remember being there when he was first learning to crawl and how much it meant to me to really experience another family’s milestone with their new baby. And here we are again, with a new baby boy in the house! 

Here is little T,  with his cute expressions (great eyebrows on this one!) and his big brother C who is just turning 4.  Enjoy your pictures!

 

~PERFECTION~
