Contest :: FREE Wedding Package

Hello Friends!

I have decided to hold a contest resulting in one lucky couple to receive a FREE* wedding photography package by yours truly! I will choose the winners on Friday, Jan. 15th and post them on here and on my Facebook.

How it works: Please submit your Name, Photo of the two of you, Phone Number, Email Address, and how you met your loved one and maybe any other tid-bits about your relationship that you think I should know. Also, if you do not know me personally, please give me the name of the person of who referred me to you!

Who ever wins not only wins a free wedding package, but the person who referred them receives a free session of choice excluding weddings. We will be able to schedule it any time in 2010...what a great way to start out your year :)

The wedding package will include:

Full Day of photography (aprox. 8 hrs)

All high resolution portraits on a DVD given to you with partial rights.

*I am requiring an engagement session which is not included in package but will be $150.

The Engagement session will help us get to know each other and how I work, and make you feel more at ease on your wedding day! It will include any location and time of choice, and however long it will take us to get the high quality images you are looking for!

Please submit all entries to CarlyJakubowski@gmail.com

Good Luck!

Kaleb:: Already 1!!!

Its been a little while since I have posted a blog so here it goes!!!

Kaleb, no stranger to my blog, turned 1 in August and had a birthday bash to say the least!!! There were tons of people there and I know he and his momma are so greatfull for their loving family and friends, that's what life is all about!

When I thought about what I was going to do special for this guys first birthday I thought about this shirt...Perfect outfit for the perfect occasion!I think birthdays are such a bittersweet moment for parents and I love seeing how each person reacts. Yara was a little sad because her baby boy is already a year old. Over a year ago he was in her tummy and now he has his own personality and own look that makes him unique. Some of my clients prepare 1st birthdays 6 months in advance but I know the day of will be bittersweet just as it was for Kaleb. Time really does fly when your having fun and I bet any parent will agree to that!

Thanks Yara and Kaleb for letting me capture his first year of his life! I know there will be more of this guy on this blog in the future!

Miss Addison Peri : Just a Few

Meet Addison Peri. She is 6 months and full of personality already. Here are a couple of the pictures but more of the session will be up soon :) Enjoy!

This one is probably one of my top 3 from the whole session! That little look is priceless!

My Life:: Scenery

Almost every weekend Jordan and I are doing something out and about with our friends. We love being outdoors but mainly we love being surrounded by good people. In these next few pictures we are up at our cabin for New Years and playing in the snow...something that never gets old!!!
Then we bring it to spring...Which is one of the best times around washington, yes it is not hot enough to go lay out, or not cold enough to go snowboarding, but we ride...ride and rest is a motto we have!

Jeff & Tina: Maternity

Meet Jeff & Tina...and baby Isabella on the way! This day was the beginning to hopefully a beautiful spring and summer we will have up in the Northwest! It was about 80 degree and this park, although it may not look like it...was packed!!!

I wanted to think of some things I could bring to the shoot that would represent a new life in the perfect way. I went up and down the baby isle and I found this "Baby on Board" sign! Aha! Perfect!!
But the real thing I was excited about is this sign that hangs in my front door way. It is the reason Jordan and I have a life together, and the exact reason a new baby comes into this world...Jeff and Tina were perfect to work with. They warned me ahead of time that they are not creative and have nothing in mind that they want...but I got about 50 shots of them being comfortable and in love before they said "what do you want us to do?!"...Nothing...just be in love and it will surely shine through! Not hard for them!!
They are so comfortable with each other and as Tina would close her eyes and lean back into Jeff, he would pay every attention to her and you could tell they were completely and utterly in love, and felt safe with one another...Just what a baby needs!
It was a great day and a perfect first maternity session for me! Thanks to you both, and I can't wait to see little Isabella Grace and hopefully do some more pictures of the whole family! Enjoy :)
