First, just a reminder that this is the last week to submit nominations for my “Giving is Awesome!” campaign. The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve.
Since I am taking a limited amount of sessions this month…you’ll be seeing a lot more of my little guys instead! 🙂 Today we decided to have some bubble bath fun…they LOVE bath time & had so much fun!
Only 15 days until Christmas & we have a very excited 3 year old in our house who is anxiously anticipating Santa’s arrival! This is the first year that Eli is now “understanding” Christmas and I can’t wait for Christmas morning to arrive. Chase on the other hand, has no clue…but I am sure he will join in on the excitement when he opens his gifts from Santa!
Our Christmas cards were mailed out over the weekend and I was so happy to check it off my “to do” list. I was SO happy to be able to capture some adorable moments between our boys for our card. They really are best buddies & have so much fun together!!
Here is the front of our card:

On to some business news now…
Last night I submitted my last couple holiday orders & am enjoying some time off with my family now! I do still have 3 sessions booked this month and am looking forward to them. I have received some incredible nominations for my “Giving is Awesome!” campaign…I didn’t realize how hard this was going to be, until I read my first submission. Wow…this is going to be TOUGH. Please keep the nominations coming though!!!
You know someone.
You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.
You know someone. I guarantee it.
I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography — $750 worth, to be exact. A session and a high res digital negative cd with print release will be awarded to the deserving winner.
Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $100 print credit. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be?
The rules:
* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make the annual ski trip does not qualify as a sincere financial need)
* The nominee must reside in the Seattle-Tacoma area. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my work. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.
* You must e-mail me the full story : jesshamlin@msn.com by December 20th
The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!
Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.
With love,
Jessica
I finally had the opportunity last week to take pictures of my other sister’s family! I love how they turned out…but how could they not as they are a gorgeous family! I love each of them SO much! Here are just a few of my fav’s…
On Saturday I had the absolute pleasure of taking some newborn pictures of beautiful Julie at 13 days old. Her mommy is a good friend of mine and a fabulous photographer as well! Anyone that comes to me for a wedding photographer referral, is sent Susan’s way! Please check out her amazing work here: Whimsical Photo Design
I drove down to Olympia along with another fabulous photographer friend of ours, Rebecca, to take her pictures. It was so much fun! Julie was 10lbs at birth and has the cutest chubbiest cheeks ever. Love her!
