As promised, here are a few more from yesterdays session. Katelyn decided to make her mommy and daddy wait 16 years before she decided it was time to arrive. But by the looks of her and her wonderful little personality, the wait was worth it (yes, easy for me to say!). And her mommy is another very smart mommy. She knows how important that first year is to capture all the changes and milestones, and I will get the pleasure of photographing her three more times this year since she is now part of the Bebe Collection.
I think that newborns are turning into one of my favourite ages to photograph. They’re just so new and innocent and lovely. Although they change out of that newborn stage pretty quickly!
Thanks Tammy and Denis for being so laid back, it always makes the session go so much more smooth!
March 9, 2010 - 7:24 pmTammylynn Cox - Jillian how do we choose from these photos??? And this is not all of them. You are making our job very hard. We love them!! Again can't wait to see the rest :-) Tammy & Denis
Katelyn just left the studio, and for a one month old (well, she’ll be one month on the 11th) she did amazing! she slept the entire time and let me move her and prod her and pose her and scrunch her…I didn’t think it would be as successful of a shoot as it was, because normally at this age, the newborn poses just don’t work as well. But she was my perfect little model, and only peed slightly on one little blanket (the rest was on the floor). I’m posting this one photo right now (got this new prop on the weekend) but will be posting more later on. She has the most adorable mohawk, so I will be showing that in some photos. Can’t decide which version I like better, so I posted both!
kona is my other mascot for dogs day. another one of my friends was nice enough to bring him in to the studio for some shots. have you ever heard the saying that a dog looks like his owner? well, i have to say, i think that kona looks like his daddy! (and dave, rosie agrees with me). the first photo is the type that will be offered on dog day…it’s all about the dog and catching their personalities in their look. the second photo was just for fun, and since rosie had to wait longer then kristen to see her baby on my blog, i thought i’d post an extra!
zepplin is one of my models for dog day (which will be coming soon, so stay tuned). don’t worry rosie, i will have kona on here very soon! i was kid around with zepplin’s mom, telling her that when she has kids, she’ll be more then prepared, since i think zepplin is more work then a child! but his cuteness makes up for it i guess!
i got the idea of dog day from one of my friends, james hodgins (www.hodginphotography.com) who just completed this and had a lot of fun doing it. i will be donating the session fee to the northumberland human’s society, so what better way to get a photo of your dog and help out a worth while organization in the process. once i have everything put together, i will post an official statement on dog day and get everything going! just thought i’d show you what type of portrait you could be getting of your dog. my goal is to capture their personality….
March 3, 2010 - 11:56 pmSarah McCarthy - Jill- I love this idea!! Make sure you let myself or Alex know when you are doing this because I think a beautiful portrait of Max would mean sooo much to my mom!
Any thoughts on doing something with cats? My cat Carter is pretty photogenic! haha
i tend to sometimes get behind on my bickle bits, and when i do, i get some emails asking where the bickle bits are….so thought i would take a break from workflow, and post something. the last couple of weeks have felt like a whirl wind. there just never seems to be any down time, or rest time. when i’m not working, i’m trying to keep the kids as busy as possible (getting out of the house means my house stays a bit cleaner for a bit longer….like 4 hours, in stead of half an hour) which means i become more tired! i would have to say that this pregnancy has been my most tiring one…probably doesn’t help to have three toddlers running at full force all of the time. it’s kind of funny because each prenatal appointment i have, it ends up that i’ve lost weight…although i think i must lose it from my toes, because my belly sure isn’t on the small side. everyone comments about the shape of it…it seems to be more of a watermellon this time. my heart has been a big issue this time around, but at least i will be having my operation in the fall, so that should make it much easier to run after 4 children, 3 years and under! my cardiologist has asked me to please not get pregnant before the fall (I was supposed to have it done earlier, but oops, baby number four was on the way!). i think that elijah is going to miss the baby belly. every night he crawls up beside me on the couch and ‘uncovers caleb’ so that he can rub him and talk to him. he likes to sing the abc’s to him, and gets excited when caleb kicks him. the girls just like to pinch it, which is not the nicest feeling in the world!
the other day when his dad was giving him his vitamins, he came running into me singing…”I am so happy!” we both got a good laugh out of it…to be three and have vitamins cause you to sing about being happy….the good old days! eve has taken a liking to her twin baby dolls. she likes to push them around in their stroller and pat them on the back. if she’s crying, you can distract her by asking where her babies are, and she’ll go find them and push them around again. she also tries to treat gracie like a baby doll…patting her on the head and trying to force her to drink from her cup. gracie doesn’t seem to like the dolls as much, she’s more content to walk around roaring at you, or stealing elijah’s cars.
i came across a video i took a couple months ago of elijah and eve. they seem to be so much a like. i love when i ask for a kiss now, i get three of them lined up (the girls making kissing noises) ready to give them!
and here are a couple photos i took the other week. we have yet to get a family photo with all of us happily sitting in the frame, but once the family is complete, we will try this daunting task!
It’s been brought to my attention that my email has not been working. Well, I think it is all sorted out now. So if you have been trying to email me the past couple of days, I probably didn’t get it. But try again! It should work now!
I already posted some photos of this family earlier today, but when I saw this one of Emma, I thought I would share it too. She was a doll in front of the camera, and very talkative too! She is going to be 4 soon, and then 5 after that! She has beautiful brown eyes, and curly brown hair, and as you can see, photographs very well!
Started off Monay morning with a very cute family in the studio. The boys didn’t want their photos taken (although it only took one mention of treats to get Vladimir to decide he could do some) and Emma was all for it in her pretty little summer dress. Lev just turned one and was very busy and not wanting to sit for more then a few seconds, he instead wanted to climb the stairs! It was very cute to watch Vlady and Emma together, they told me they get a long very well, even though Vlady doesn’t let Emma really play with her And I learned that they have over 50 horses, and am welcome to use any of them for photos…guess what I will be doing this summer for a trash the dress session!?! Can’t wait!
March 1, 2010 - 6:24 pmkendra - Oh Jill...I just love the sneak peak...Thankyou for getting them up so fast. Can't wait to see the rest! I am soo glad Emma was such a doll today cause with three year olds it can defineately go either way and you never know...and Lev! What a little pain in the butt but we got a few, huh. Vlady doesn't usually let me down and he will do anything for candy (that child worries me..lol). We had a great time. Thankyou. Kendra

Well, it looks like Bunny Day is going to happen here at the studio. I am so excited to get underway the first annual Bunny Day for Jillian Bickle Photography. It’s going to be so much fun watching all the kids pet and play with the bunnies and capture their little expressions on camera. The bunnies will be here March 18th, 19th and 20th, so spots are limited. Phone the studio 905-396-1707 or email photos@jillianbphotography to book your session now.
Here is one of the bunnies that will be visiting the studio…
Trying very hard to get a bunny day put together just in time for Easter! I will announce on Monday if it’s a go, and if so, call or email to book your session, because the bunnies will only be here for a very short time. Who wouldn’t want their little one photograhed with some cute little bunnies to celebrate Easter this year?! Check on Monday to see if I can pull everything together and get it ready in time!
(and dave, rosie agrees with me). the first photo is the type that will be offered on dog day…it’s all about the dog and catching their personalities in their look. the second photo was just for fun, and since rosie had to wait longer then kristen to see her baby on my blog, i thought i’d post an extra!
