Photo Contest Was A Success!

Thanks to everyone who entered the Mother's Day photo contest. I will announce the winners on Wednesday!

I hope all you moms out there had a wonderful day, yesterday! Now it's time for us moms to start figuring out what to get all the wonderful dads for Father's Day! Do they need some updated photos of the kids? Storyboards make great gifts and do not require a frame.

Keep checking back for more updates, contests, and upcoming promotions! I'm always doing something new and fun!

Mother’s Day Photo Contest

To enter, submit a photo of the special mom (you, your mom, your wife, etc – you get the idea) with at least one of her children taken within the last 6 months. Email photo to contests@jenniferjabbour.com. Please only one submission per family. Please insert the mom's first and last name in the subject line to make it easier to announce the winners.

Deadline for photo submission is Mother’s Day, May 13th, at midnight. All photos received after this deadline will be ignored.

This contest is only open to new clients, so if you have already had a photo session with me, please pass the word along to your friends and family so they can try to win!

Prizes
First Place – Free portrait session
Second Place - $50 print credit toward a portrait session
Third Place - $25 print credit toward a portrait session

Winners will be announced by 6 pm, Wednesday, May 16th right here on the blog.

A panel of professional photographers will vote for their favorite photo, so there are no worries about one contestant getting the “popularity” vote. Keep in mind, although judging will not be based on photo quality, a clear photo stands out much more than a blurry one.

Claiming your prize - Prizes not claimed within one week (by May 23rd) will be passed on to the next runner up. To claim your prize please contact me to schedule your portrait session by May 23rd. All portrait sessions must take place within 45 days (by June 29th). If you know you will not be able to do this, please do not enter the contest, as it will just create confusion for the other participants.

Some icing on the cake

I always like doing nice things for others, especially my clients! After all it is ALL about my clients! If it weren't for you, there would be no Jennifer Jabbour Photography. There would still be a Jennifer Jabbour and a camera and lots and lots of photos of Noah, but even that would be short lived because all of those photos would end up being of Noah's back, as he runs away screaming, "No pictures!" So Noah is also very appreciative that mommy has found another outlet to satiate her photography desires.

Until May 31st, I've already put together the Mother's Day Special, which ends up being a savings of over $300 on A La Carte's, or over $100 on collections. But, as a way to say thank you, I'd like to give all my wonderful clients and client's friends and families an opportunity to save even more money.

So contact me between now and April 21st, and I will take an additional $100 off the Mother's Day Special, and expand the session to be up to 4 people for no additional cost!

And just in case I failed to mention this before, all sessions need to take place by May 31st, as well.

Growing Up

Yes, our little boy is growing up. He turned three at the end of March. I put together the sweetest slideshow to play at his party, and can barely think about it without crying. It's incredible how much he changed in just one year. When he turned two, he was still very much a baby, but somehow he became a big boy this last year. I don't know how or when, but he's so very very big now.
I'm so grateful I take pictures of everything! The only way I can remember all the cute little things he does is with these pictures. I'm horrible at writing things down, and even printing all the photos I take, but my memory always returns when I browse through the thousands of photos I have of him.
Here's a couple of photos of our big boy.

I love this one because it shows his personality so much. He was looking at me with his "noculars".

I had to take one of his new big boy hair cut. I think cutting off his beautiful long strands made his turning three that much more difficult.

And this one is just oh, so precious. It's his Papa helping him ride his brand new bicycle.

Referral Rewards

As you may or may not know, almost all of my advertising is done by word of mouth. In order to keep prices down, I do not spend tons of money on advertisements. Instead, I would rather reward my clients for spreading my name around.

So, for a limited time, I am offering a Referral Rewards program.

How does it work?

Refer your friends and family to book a portrait session with me. If they contact me to book a session before April 15th, 2007, they will receive $5 off a $100 print order, $15 off a $250 print order, $30 off a $500 print order, or $50 off a $1000 print order.

What’s in it for you?

For every 4 clients you refer to me, you will receive a $100 print credit toward your next session when you order $200 or more in prints.

The Fine Print
*Session fees are payable upon booking the session.
**Referring clients $100 print credit will only be applied after referred client has completed their session.

Referral Reward program must be mentioned at time of booking.

Print Credits cannot be used for past sessions. All sessions must take place by July 1st, 2007 to qualify for the Referral Rewards Program.

Thanks for your support!

brand new

I had the pleasure of photographing perfect, little, tiny N. What can I say, but that this little sweetie stole my heart! He was just so content and barely fussed at all. Mom, you're so blessed! He's a great baby! Here's the first few proofs to tide you over until the rest are complete...

bears at the beach

These two bears were full of energy and were just loving being at the beach! I had a great time chasing them around and even though we couldn't get them to hold hands for mom, surely you will love them. Here's a little sneak peek until I can finish up the rest of the proofs.
