Newborn session special~Calgary newborn photography

Sunday, January 29th, 2012

I am so excited to delve even more deeply into the amazing world of newborn photography. I love everything about those squishy little bitty newborns. And I absolutely love creating beautiful photographs of tiny miracles to be treasured forever. There is something just so amazing about those few first days. The newness of it all. The joy. The love. The bonding. And I want to capture those moments, those feelings.

So I am offering 8 newborn sessions at a very heavily discounted price :) To get in on this special you must be due in Feb or March. The session must be booked with me to hold your spot when baby is born. The session has to take place when baby is 10 days or under.
The details:
$200 – full newborn session in my studio. 10 images full resolution of your choice from gallery on disc. All the images in your gallery can be purchased for an additional $150. This is big savings! Huge! So please… if you are looking for newborn photos shoot me an e-mail kjongstra@telus.net.
If you know someone expecting please send them my link for this special or

This little man is definitely out to steal your heart. He is so very cute, I could hardly stand to let him leave my house!!! He’s going to have people wrapped around that little thumb in no time!! You could see he already has Mom and Dad – hook line and sinker :) Such a beautiful family, so glad I had the pleasure of meeting you and the newest member of your family.

This has to be one of my favorite fabrics I have gotten recently. It looks amazing… the perfect baby boy blue :)

Mom brought this hat… isn’t it cute!! Bet it looked great for Christmas!!

Newborn Casting Call | Calgary newborn photographer

Friday, October 21st, 2011

A while ago I attended a workshop put on by the amazing Laura Brett. I learned new techniques and how to use studio light to get the soft look of natural light. The look that I love without all the hassle!!!
I have since been preparing for my next newborns… I have ordered some new amazing fabrics and wraps and headbands and hats, practised my studio light to get the look and most important of all – a NEW BEANBAG!
I am so very excited to take my newborn photography to the next level. It is something I absolutely love doing, and now I feel more confident in myself and skills.

The workshop was amazing and I can’t wait to put some techniques to use!

Which is where you come in. Or someone you know. You may work with someone like this. Be related to someone needing this.
You or someone you know could be pregnant and due in 3 weeks or so. If you are or know someone, or even think on of your FB friends might be into this, please share the link on FB. Tell everyone you know. Stop strangers to tell them. Ok, I do this, but I don’t expect you to ;)

I have an extremely amazing deal for photographing 4 newborns. 4!!!!
The session? 2 hour session at my house FREE. Images? 5 digital images FREE. The rest of the images in the session gallery can be purchased for $150.

My friend had another baby!!! This is baby #3 for a family we just love!! And finally….. it’s a BOY!!! He was so cute and so easy going, his shoot was a dream!
We were all so impressed with how he handled the shoot, we were convinced it was the best shoot ever. And then…. his sisters ran in and TOTALLY stole the show. Seriously, laughing, giggling, posing and checking the LCD they were all over it. Which was a shock considering how hard it has been getting Miss S to want to be in any photos pretty much her whole life!
Then we knew it was really the best shoot ever.

Thanks for bringing your family over, we all had fun! Even in the craziness of having 4 other kids running around causing chaos!

His aunt made this awesome hat and the blanket was his own. Made for some gorgeous pics of the little man!

This beautiful hammock was made by my cousin’s MIL in Winnipeg! I bought a bunch of cute hats and chunky blankets from her while I was out there! And I am ordering some hats for Ro and Kade for the fall and winter this year :) You can find her facebook page here . Go ahead and like it! She makes tons of original items and can custom make pretty much anything you can design! Her prices are not to be beat, I had a ton of fun shopping.

The chunky blanket here was also made by The Crazy Hatter. Isn’t he adorable????

The sisters who stole the show ;)
