TODAY Show profiles Navy SEAL wives and one was a client of mine! :)

I've been following the week long series "Silent Warriors" the TODAY show is doing on the Navy SEALs. They've shot a lot of footage right here in Coronado at the training facility. Today they profiled 4 wives of SEALs in a wonderful story about what it's like to be married to these men. I've been a military wife my entire adult life and a military brat before that. I am still amazed by these women! It's one thing to have your spouse deploy on a ship for six months. With the modern email and communication it's pretty easy to stay in touch. It a completely different story to have him kiss you goodbye not knowing where he is going... for how long or when the next time you will get to communicate with him might be. The only thing I CAN'T imagine being more than a SEAL... is a SEAL's wife! So, to all of you... thank you! Thank you for what you do to support your husbands so they can do what they do for our country!

On another note... I was pleasantly surprised to see that one of the moms on the program was one of my clients! :) I had the privilege of photographing both her maternity and newborn session last year! I've included a picture from the session and here is a link to the TODAY Show video. :)

EXCITING CONTEST TO START THE NEW YEAR!

What's at stake: A FREE session! ($150 Value)

How the contest works: From now until the end of January 2010 become a Facebook Fan of Just Hatched Photography (Just Hatched Facebook) and you will receive one (1) entry into our drawing for the free session. After you become a fan post "I'm a fan of Just Hatched Photography" on our wall. If you are already a fan please post the same thing and that will count for your entry.

But wait! There's more! (Hokey, but true!) After you become a fan please share this contest with the people you know. Ask them to become a fan of Just Hatched Photography and when they post to use your name. For example: "I'm a fan of Just Hatched Photography and Jane Doe told me about you!" This will count as one entry for the new fan and one for the person who referred them! Awesome... huh???

While we would love as many fans as possible it only makes sense to limit the drawing to those of you in the Southern California area since the studio is in San Diego. 

If we manage to get to 300 fans I will draw TWO winners!!! Good luck... go forth and FACEBOOK! :)

Photo Shoot Party ♥ San Diego Photographer

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to have some fun and photograph some beautiful girls!  In conjunction with Karien Bennett of The Club for Me, I hosted a Photo Shoot Party where we talked about how to take fun and fabulous pictures and we ate cake too!  The girls were so much fun and we had a great time!  Here are some of the shots from the day.  :)
