Katy Newborn Photographer - {Braxton + Reece - Sneak Peeks}

Today I had the pleasure of meeting a nine day old baby boy and one of his big brothers. These boys were such a joy to work with and I absolutely loved bonding with their momma during the session! Mom & Dad, I hope you enjoy these sneak peeks and thank you so much for allowing me to work with you and capture these sweet moments in your lives!

I've known Molly since she was six years old. She celebrated her sixteenth birthday this summer and I was thrilled to be able to capture this milestone for her! Thanks to Mom & Dad for letting me work with your "sweet sixteen!"

Tyler Child Photographer - {Kayla - 9 Years Old}

As promised, here are some photos of Kayla, Owen's big sister! This little girl loved being in front of the camera and it shows! She is absolutely adorable - and the spitting image of her momma when she was a kid! I loved working with you, Kayla!!! You are an awesome big sister!

Tyler Newborn Photographer - {Owen - 6 Days Old}

I recently visited Tyler, Texas - my hometown! While there, I had the opportunity to photograph the newborn baby of my long lost friend, Holly! I'd say she and her hubby, Casey, have ALOT to be proud of! This little guy stole my heart the instant I walked through the front door! Thanks, Mom & Dad, for allowing me to capture your beautiful son during those first precious days of life! Stay tuned for more photos of Owen's gorgeous sister, Kayla!

***Thank you for your interest in this program; however, all 2012 Reps have been chosen and have already begun working with JWP. We are no longer accepting applications for 2012 Reps. We will begin accepting applications for 2013 Reps in April 2012. For a discounted rate on your senior portraits, locate a 2012 Rep and request a referral card!***

Who is eligible to participate in the program?
I am looking for a group of well-rounded, social, and friendly seniors to represent Jill Ward Photography! Houston area students graduating from high school in 2012 who are interested in unique senior portraits & the opportunity to earn free prints and products are eligible to apply.
If you would like to be considered, simply fill out the application below today! You will need permission from your parent/guardian to participate in the JWP 2012 Senior Model Program, so be sure to check with them first! They will also be required to sign a model release form, allowing us to use your images for advertising purposes. If you are selected as a model, you must commit to working exclusively with JWP - in other words, you cannot represent more than one photography studio!

What will a JWP 2012 Senior Model receive?
•Senior Portrait Session - This session must be completed by August 20, 2011!!! We will meet in an agreed upon location depending on the look you want for your senior portraits. Downtown urban areas, grassy fields, parks, and nature centers are just some of the options available. Your parent/guardian is welcome to attend the session with you. You will be allowed up to three outfit changes during this session and 1 - 2 locations. You should plan to wear one casual outfit which captures your personality and one dressier outfit! The third outfit is totally up to you!
•10 low resolution, watermarked images from your photo session for use on Facebook, MySpace, etc...
•3 Mini accordian books from your session
•A spiral bound proof book of all your edited images from the photo session - please plan on showing this to your friends & family!
•50 Senior Model Represenative cards for passing out to your friends - these are basically like business cards that tell your friends to call me for their photo sessions!
•A feature blog post all about you on my website.
•The opportunity to earn rewards by referring others to Jill Ward Photography!

What are the rewards?
You will receive $15 cash or $20 product/print credit for every referral who books and pays for a session between Sept 1, 2011 and May 1, 2012.

There is no limit to the number of referrals you can make! Credits will only be issued when a referred senior’s session is complete and all fees are paid by the referred client.

What do I do after my portrait session?
Your portrait session will need to be completed by August 20, 2011. I will then send you a package with your rep cards, mini accordian albums, and proof book. When you return to school in the fall, simply show all of your friends your images from JWP! Pass out your rep cards and encourage your friends to book their senior session with me. Explain that they will receive a 15% discount on their session just for telling me they were referred by you! All referrals must book and pay for a session between Sept 1, 2011 and May 1, 2012.
I will keep track of all your referrals and will send you a monthly update detailing your rewards! All cash rewards will be paid out on a monthly basis on the 30th of each month. If you choose printing credits, you must redeem all credits no later than May 15, 2012. Your referrals do not have to be high school seniors. You may also refer clients for newborn, maternity, family sessions, etc...
For more referrals, be sure to post your watermarked images on Facebook and you can also post a link to the blog post written about you!

How do I sign up?
Simply complete the online appication AFTER YOU OBTAIN PARENT/GUARDIAN APPROVAL! I will choose 2 - 3 models from several schools no later than July 20, 2012!

Houston Newborn Photographer - {Andres + Pablo - 7 Day Old Twins}

I had the privilege of working with another set of newborn twin boys last week! And just like last time, it was amazing! Andres & Pablo were perfectly content posing for the camera and slept through the majority of the session. We took several breaks for nursing and changing - and their grandmother even made lunch for me! Mom & Dad, I hope you love your photos! I am looking forward to coming back in a few weeks to photograph the boys with their sweet sister, Camila!

Houston Baby Photographer - {First Birthday Cake Smash Session - James}

I had so much fun working with little James! Here are a few of my favorite shots from his cake smash session! The adorable little lion cake was created by Suzanne Faubert, aka The Cake Fairy! Mom & Dad, I hope you enjoy these images of your sweet little guy!!

That last shot is a pull back from the set up - I just want you guys to see how far that cake was flung around the room!!! James had a great time smashing his cake...almost as much fun as I had photographing him!

Houston Baby Photographer - {James' First Birthday Photo Session Part 1}

I was thrilled to work with James last week to photograph his first birthday session! James recently received a few original Tonka trucks from a family friend and mom brought them along for our shoot! They were an awesome touch and they allowed me to capture James doing what he does best - exploring and learning through play! I am posting our outdoor shots today - check back later this week for a look at his cake smash session!
