Winston Salem Newborn Baby Photographer | Snow Babies Special

Welcome to 2013!  I hope everyone had a relaxing and festive holiday season.  Late fall was filled with a flurry of autumn leaves and holiday sessions and then I enjoyed some time off to celebrate with my family.  It was great to leave my computer turned off for an entire week!  But I am back to the studio now and so excited for a brand new year in the business.  Can you believe that this May will mark my 7th year capturing all you beautiful folks in the Triad?

Now that the cold winter months have arrived, it is time for Uppercase Photography’s annual Snow Babies Special.  Anyone who books a newborn session during January and February (can be due at any time in 2013) will receive their entire session fee credited toward their order ($120 savings.)  And this year, there is even a little something for those who aren’t expecting….as long as you know someone who is!  Refer a friend who books the Snow Babies Newborn Special and YOU will receive a $50 credit toward your next session.

Take a look below and email me at julie@uppercasephotograph.com for all the details.

And I couldn’t stop at just one image of the completely gorgeous little man announcing this special, so here are a few more from his session.  That head full of hair and chubby cheeks made for some of my favorite newborn images this fall.

In addition to the Snow Babies Special, I am also booking all types of sessions for January through May.  If you are interested in a session this spring, don’t delay in emailing me at julie@uppercasephotography.com.

Beach session dates for July and August are coming soon.  I am finalizing those dates available for very limited sessions on the lovely coast of North and South Carolina.  Keep an eye out as open spots will be very limited!

Last Minute Holiday Minis | Winston Salem Newborn Photographer

Hello out there!  The busy fall/holiday season is in full swing and I have enjoyed seeing many faces, new and old, in the last couple of months.  My calendar has been all full for regular sessions since September.  However, I have decided to open up a couple of dates at the studio for holiday mini sessions.   Did you miss out on your chance to book a fall session with Uppercase Photography? Or do you just want a few special images for holiday gifts/cards? Here’s your chance! These will be 20 minute sessions in the studio and digital files will be included in the price. The Last Minute Holiday minis will be held on November 29th and 30th.  A few spots remain open, so please email me immediately at julie@uppercasephotography.com if you are interested.  I will provide pricing and further details through email.  Below are a couple of sneak peeks of others who have taken advantage of holiday mini sessions.  Adorable and so festive!

In addition to these special minis, I have a few spots remaining for newborns in December.  I am also booking newborns and babies for 2013.  If you are due in the New Year, please contact me for details about the wonderful Snow Babies Special.

Winston Salem, Greensboro Newborn Photographer | Fall Is Full

I almost began typing another “I’m sorry it’s been so long since I updated the blog” post, but I think I’ve said that the last several updates.  So you all can just assume that it’s super busy at the Uppercase studio and I’ll update the blog when I can.  Deal? :)

The fall calendar is now booked.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone who snagged a spot!  If you didn’t get a spot and want to be placed on a waiting list, please email me at julie@uppercasephotography.com.  Please note that the waiting list will be for weekday slots only and there are no weekend spots available even with cancellations.

I AM still accepting sessions for newborns and babies under one year for November and December.  If you are due at that time, please reserve your spot on the calendar.  I am also booking 2013 due dates already (only 2013 newborns currently booking.)  It’s seems hard to believe that 2013 due dates are on my calendar but I’m sure it will be here before we know it!

I am excited to share baby Julie on the blog today.  I have photographed so, so many newborn babies, but never one who shared my name.  It was such a treat and she was the most beautiful and relaxed baby.  I loved her entire session and am sharing many of them with you today.  Also, head over to the Uppercase Facebook page to see a few shots of Julie’s beautiful baby album as well.  The Facebook page is the place to be for the latest in news and images.

Meet the most beautiful Julie I’ve ever met.

Winston Salem Photographer | Now Booking For Fall

Helloooooo out there.  I’m here, I’m here!  The blog has been a littler quieter than usual this summer.  It’s certainly not a lack of beautiful new images to share.   There are so many I want to share with you.  But between shooting newborns, beach sessions, and lots of adorable growing babies, I have been spending as much time as possible with my own beautiful girls.  They will begin school next week (they will all be in school this year; so hard to believe!) and as much as I hate to see summer slipping away, I am looking forward to a regular work and home routine again.

September is fully booked and I am now booking for October through the end of the year.  Please contact me at julie@uppercasephotography.com as soon as possible to book a session.  Those coveted fall outdoor spots are going fast!

If you had a newborn or baby (1 year and under) session in June, July or August please be on the lookout for a email soon (early Sept.) regarding your complimentary holiday mini session.  The available dates/times will be booked on a first come, first served basis.

Are you expecting this fall?  Please be sure to prebook your newborn session before your baby arrives.  I have had to turn some newborns away this summer who weren’t prebooked when I couldn’t work them into my already busy schedule.  To ensure your baby has a spot, please book while you are still expecting.  Email me for details.

The completely perfect Miss E had her session prebooked and was a delightful subject at one week old.  She had such dainty, girly features that I couldn’t resist a touch of pink for her session.

Winston Salem Photographer | Vacation

“How beautiful it is to do nothing and then rest afterward.”

vacationblog1

I will be away from the studio July 14th until July 23rd.  Feel free to email me at julie@uppercasephotography.com or leave a voice mail and I will return your correspondence as soon as possible.

And I won’t quite be “doing nothing” as I do have some beach sessions scheduled during my time away.  I look forward to seeing my clients on the beach.  If you are interested in how beach sessions work, please email me and I will give you details (though this current trip is all booked.)  Stay tuned for beautiful beach pictures and keep your fingers crossed for great weather!

So many clients have taken advantage of booking a summer baby session (sessions for babies one and under occurring during June, July and August) and receiving a complimentary holiday card mini session in early November.  There’s still time for you to take advantage of this great deal as well.  Please email me for more information.

July 16, 2012 - 8:30 am Clarice - These are beautiful Julie!

July 13, 2012 - 2:41 pm Kara Layfield - Enjoy your vacation!!

July 13, 2012 - 2:24 pm Lisa Cohen - Absolutely beautiful. Have a great vacation.

Winston Salem Newborn Baby Photographer | Warm and Snuggly

It’s not often that it gets hotter outside than it is in my studio during a newborn session.  But the past few days have definitely been scorchers!  I hope you all are staying cool and gearing up to enjoy a fun filled Independence Day.  I am pleased to share another beautiful newborn session with you as you huddle inside browsing your computer and trying to stay cool. :)

This family is another family that I have had the pleasure of capturing your several years.  I photographed big sister C as a newborn and was so happy to help the family welcome little sister E.  Big sister, however, was not so happy to pose with this new addition to her family on session day.  I actually love this sibling image because it will always be a reminder to this family that it can be hard being the big sister.  I hear that Miss C has now taken to her big sister role just beautifully and adores her baby sister.  I have no doubt that they will be best of friends, but an image like this is pretty priceless.

After big sister went to spend some quality time with grandma, Baby E was happy to pose and pose.  She was such a great little model and that gorgeous head of hair was just perfect.

Since this session took place several months ago, I think it is safe to also share Baby E’s birth announcement (some parts blurred for web security.)  I love creating a special announcement just for each newborn and E’s was one of my favorites in quite a while….just my style!

Greensboro Maternity Photographer | Special Summer Newborn Offer

Whew, does that end of the school year time seem as crazy to everyone else as it does to me?  The end of May and the beginning of June are filled with class picnics, school performances, graduations, and dance recitals.  Now that we have closed the school books and hung up the ballet shoes for a couple of months, I am excited to have a moment to update the blog a bit.  Things have been busy and wonderful around the studio for the last few months.  I am still a bit behind on sharing images on my blog so it’s been several months since the adorable Mr. J came to the studio for his newborn session.  But I couldn’t let you miss out on his cuteness.  We were even able to incorporate a couple of daddy’s loves (his guitar and his profession) into Mr. J’s newborn session.  I love making a session personal for each client and am thrilled to incorporate such items into a newborn session.

Winston Salem Photographer | Double the Fun at the Downtown Studio

I want to thank all of you you have sent me messages of support regarding my announcement in my last post that I will be focusing mostly on maternity, newborn and babies one year and under beginning this fall.  Your kind words about your experiences with Uppercase Photography and your well wishes mean so much to me!  I also had a few chuckles at some of my long time clients emailing to make sure that they would be able to get a spot for those coveted fall session spots.  I love you all and truly appreciate your support for me and my artistry.

A few folks did have some questions regarding my downtown studio.  I have NO plans currently to leave my downtown studio space.  My studio is perfect for photographing newborns and babies.  It is also my sanctuary….my creative haven where I can store all my props and feed my addiction to photography.  Based on the many wonderful comments I receive when you all come to visit, I think you must love the Uppercase studio as well!  Honestly, someone would have to pry the keys to this place out of my hands. :)

Speaking of the studio, the space was full of adorableness the day these two twin brothers came for their session.  When twins come to the studio, I am typically expecting smaller babies in the six pound and under range.  But not these handsome boys!  Both of them were near 8 pounds at birth and we joked that they were like little men at their session.  They were strong, healthy and completely gorgeous boys.  It was a pleasure for Lina and me to spend the morning with them and their parents.

Prepare yourself for a complete overshare…they were just so cute. :)

Well, that should be enough cuteness to get you through a cloudy Tuesday.

If you would like to book a summer session in June (two spots remaining), July or August please email me at julie@uppercasephotography.com.

I am now accepting maternity and newborn session reservations for September through December. I will open the calendar for other sessions in September through December soon.  It is helpful for me to get fall schedules for my daughters first so that I know which days they have performances, etc.  If you would like to be placed on a list of people who will be emailed FIRST when the calendar opens please send your request to julie@uppercasephotography.com.  I am keeping a list of people who are interested and they will be the first to be notified that the calendar spots are open.

June 13, 2012 - 1:18 pm kate craft - These are so perfect!!!!

May 26, 2012 - 9:07 pm Kel Ward - I want to steal the babies!! (okay, no, not really....maybe just borrow them?) They are gorgeous and you did an AWESOME job with these photos!

May 24, 2012 - 11:36 am Jamie Siever - My goodness, Julie. Just when I think your photographs couldn't possibly be more perfect, I see this session! You are so talented that you make these look easy! (but also impossibly perfect.) Wow - just breathtakingly amazing work!

May 23, 2012 - 11:41 am Tania - Wow Julie, these left me speechless. Your work is just art...I am constantly blown away by the variety and mastery behind each and every image. Keep up the GREAT work! Maybe one day I can come to your nb workshop!

May 23, 2012 - 11:19 am Azure - GORGEOUS! Every single one of these is just stunning. What a precious pair of boys- your talent with newborns and babies just blows me away. Love your work!

May 18, 2012 - 10:44 am ashley - Downright amazing work, Julie! Your site is such a treat for the eyes and heart!

May 16, 2012 - 6:32 pm Sylvia Borgo - absolute perfection! The cutie-pie babies, the posing, your images - all perfect! Love these!

May 15, 2012 - 3:00 pm carol nicasio - Omgosh Julie...these are so beautiful...I simply love what you do.

Winston Salem Newborn Baby Photographer | My Specialty

I am excited to let you know about a new development at Uppercase Photography.  Over the past six years I have been so blessed to meet and photograph some of the most wonderful people and families.  As the years have passed I have discovered my talent for capturing babies and have worked to refine my skill in capturing beautiful images of newborns and babies one year and under.  Beginning in September, I will be focusing my business on maternity, newborns and babies one year and under.  I feel strongly that my heart lies in capturing babies and when working with them, I produce the images that speak most to me and in turn to my clients.

Adding a new member to your family is such a momentous occasion and when something is really important, you want the absolute best right?  When your child is sick, you take them to your pediatrician who specializes in treating children.  When you are buying an outfit for a special occasion, you will likely forgo Target (though make no mistake, I do love Target) and search out just the right outfit at a specialty shop.  When you want excellent seafood, you don’t go to a buffet that serves a wide variety of food, you go to a restaurant that specializes in yummy seafood.

Choosing a photographer for your baby’s first year is very similar.  If someone shoots weddings and boudoir, teens and family reunions, oh and newborns too…they may not be the right person for everyone searching for a baby photographer.  I want to be the photographer for those who are looking for someone who specializes in babies…someone who devotes all of their time and artistic vision to producing the best in newborn/baby photography.

I know babies well and  I find much joy in capturing them.  When newborns sessions are complete, parents are often in awe of how calm and relaxed their baby was during the session.  They jokingly ask if I can come over at 2am and work my “magic.”  Since my youngest daughter is almost 5, I gave up 2am wake up calls a few years ago.  However, I do want to spend more of my time “working my  magic.”  And that is just what I plan to do.

Now, if you are a client who has been returning to Uppercase Photography since your own children were babies, I am forever grateful for your support of my business.  I will be holding limited spots in my schedule for returning clients.  Be on the lookout for announcements regarding openings and book quickly as there will be fewer spots for older children and families.  But know that I would never want to miss out on watching those children whom I photographed as babies grow in front of my lens.

With that said, I am still taking appointments for June, July and August for all types of sessions.  Please email me at julie@uppercasephotography.com for more information about booking a summer session.

And I will leave you with some baby images.  Baby B worked his own magic in these images and he couldn’t be more perfect.

May 4, 2012 - 9:26 pm Clarice - What a beautiful baby and I love your work! These are gorgeous!

May 4, 2012 - 8:53 pm Laura - Julie it makes perfect sense for you to specialize in babies. You have found your niche and to say you do it well would be a gross understatement. You are far and beyond one of the finest newborn and baby photographers I have seen. You not only work magic but your work IS magical.

May 3, 2012 - 12:00 am Sylvia Borgo - I am one of your biggest fans! I adore your work and I know that this more focused attention on newborns will ensure a phenomenal experience for your clients.

May 2, 2012 - 10:07 pm Carrie - You are so amazingly talented x

May 2, 2012 - 9:30 pm Jackie - You definitely have a tremendous gift, beautiful work!

May 2, 2012 - 2:55 pm Danielle McCarty - Oh what a beautiful baby! Love every one of these!

May 2, 2012 - 2:43 pm Kathleen Weibel - You most definitely are magical with those babies. I wish I had gorgeous photos of my sweet babies like those.
