Jonnye Bower Photography

One of my very favorite families just got a little bigger and sweeter (even though I didn’t think that was possible)! And another beautiful Year to Remember begins

Just like big brother’s, I know I am going to absolutely love every single session…

*sigh…. I just love his sweet little face!

I think he likes A&M too – even gave us a little smirk when we put on the hat

You are all so wonderful, and such a loving family, and I’m so happy to have captured your love in this pic… Congratulations again

I can’t believe it’s been just over 3 years since I first met this sweet family!  The older daughter here was only 3 or 4 months old then and I have had the privilege of photographing her several times, including a teacup mini session (raise your hand if you remember those) and her first birthday, which was a truly magical Arboretum session – one of my favorites ever.  Most recently I was called to photograph her again, but this time along with her sweet 6 month old baby sister for their holiday cards, and here we are celebrating another first birthday Thank you so much for allowing me to document the evolution of your beautiful family and the milestones of you sweet girls.  I hope you love the pics & your slideshow & gallery will be ready soon!

First of all – HUGE thank you to my families who made the trip to downtown McKinney today for the ArtWalk! And another big thank you to all of the new people who I met today who stopped into the mezzanine at Mama Emilia’s to check out my work and register for my little giveaway

Did I say little? Ha… This evening Sofia and I had way too much fun drawing names of winners. She was very serious about it all and took lots of time swishing her little hand around in the bag before pulling out the winning papers. We did the big prizes first, the free Mini Sessions, then the $100 Gift Certificates, and since Sof was loving it so much we added a few more fun little items to the prize list

So… I decided to give away 2 sessions, 3 $100 Gift Certificates to Jonnye Bower Photography, 3 Mini Accordion Storybooks, 5 8×10 Custom Prints, and 3 Custom Photo Keychains – woohoo!

Here are my winners!

The winners of my free Custom Mini Sessions are…..

Ashlea Waters and Danny Bernal!

Congratulations!! I will be in touch with you both very soon to schedule your custom session!

These little custom brag books are so sweet – I know you are just going to love them! Congrats! I will contact you soon so we can get started on your designs

I am giving away 5 of my 8×10 custom prints & the winners are…..

Lindsay Ford, Dana Resoso, Virginia Garver, Christine Brown, and Kelly Milligan!

My Custom Prints are printed by me personally, taking all care to ensure the best color, tones, and contrasts so that I can deliver to you a print that you are proud to display in your home Congratulations!

Last but not least, I am giving away 3 of my new custom photo keychains (pics of these coming soon) and the winners are…..

Kate Wallace, Kathleen Galara, and Pat Daly!

These are really cool items, much like the charm jewelry pieces I had on display at the ArtWalk, but simplified and always easily coordinating with your wardrobe (lol!) I hope you love them!

Soon I’ll post a few snaps of my displays at the ArtWalk in case you weren’t able to make it & I will have all of my new products set up in the studio if anyone would like to take a closer look and chat about them more

Congrats again to my winners! It has been a busy busy couple of weeks, with lots of very late nights working, and I think tonight it’s the best for me to make it to bed before 2am ;o) I know my sessions tomorrow will appreciate it! So I will be contacting the winners tomorrow evening and I look forward to creating some beautiful art with you all very soon!

peace love & lots of pretty pictures,   jonnye

Especially when it’s with little ones as sweet and doll-faced as this, and in locations as amazing as the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens!

Thanks again for a fantastic year!

If you are a Dallas/North Dallas local please come by the studio in Downtown McKinney this Saturday May 22nd – I will be having giveaways (including free sessions!!) and lots of other fun stuff.  I will also be showing off new products and packages, such as my custom framing and video sessions

Hope you can make it!

Another baby planner has graduated and I’m so happy that her sweet has chosen me to photograph her second year as well! Happy birthday Sweet Girl.  It has been a beautiful first year and I am looking forward to seeing you grow & our future sessions! Your slideshow & gallery will be ready shortly

I photographed this little girl a year or so ago, and she sure has grown since then, but of coarse she still had the same blonde curly hair and  beautiful bright eyes just beaming with life!  It was a gorgeous afternoon at the Dallas Arboretum, and this little girl couldn’t have been cuter or sweeter!  Thanks again for choosing me – hope you love the pics!

This sweet baby has the most beautiful face and loving parents – their session was such a joy to photograph

Have I mentioned lately how much I love this job? love it so much Enjoy the sneak peek!

It was a beautiful day, so we got to go outside for a few pics…

But even a baby as sweet as this couldn’t handle a full 2 hour session, luckily for me

We went back up to the studio and let her doze of and I was able to give Mama a few sleeping pics! What a little angel… and such beautiful eyelashes!

Love this last family pic… so serene Thanks again guys, it was a pleasure to meet your lovely little family.

Meet my newest little baby plan!  The absolute best. little baby. ever.  And he liked me too – I can tell

Enjoy your sneak peek – I’ll have your slideshow & gallery ready soon!

How gorgeous is this family!

I smile every single time I look at this one…

Such sweet tiny new feet! I’ll end with a new favorite pic of mine – hope this one makes it onto the birth announcement!

…will he have the same big blue eyes or round chubby cheeks as his big brother… the red hair or the dimples?

I’m almost positive he will have curls… We shall find out very very soon!

Can’t wait to meet my newest little baby plan and continue a long and beautiful journey with this lovely family
