Now you know dear blog readers and friends, why I have been seemingly absent for the last 3 months....I've been working on this new blog, shooting fall portraits AND being pregnant! There is much I'm excited to share in the coming months on this blog, so for now I'm going to keep things simple and simply say WELCOME and give a huge THANK YOU to Into the Darkroom for being so wonderful to work with and designing a blog that I love.
In celebration of my new blog launching, I'm going to be doing a small giveaway....just a little something to celebrate! Since this is the month for giving, I'll be giving away a $35 dollar gift card to Amazon.com to one reader who leaves a comment below this post. All you need to do is say Hi and let me know one of your favorite Christmas songs....I'll be picking a winner at random next Thursday (12/9). Also, be sure to leave your email address so I know how to contact you (I promise I would never sell anyones email address or send you spam).

More pictures and stories coming soon....welcome to the new kelli jane photography blog!

(12.05.09 @ 04:20 PM)It's always fun to debut a new blog. Looks great. And favorite Christmas Song? Silent Night . . . when all the lights are off and it's only candle light. And people are reflective, thinking and enjoying the season. And there is no background music, just the sound of God's grateful children. That's my favorite song.

(12.08.09 @ 04:04 PM)Such a pretty new blog! I love how it seems to "match" your style so well! The Christmas song I've been loving this year is a classic. Hark the Herald Angels because my boys are singing it for school programs and I love hearing them run all around the house singing it and improvising on the words they don't know. :)
(12.08.09 @ 10:11 PM)oh i'm so happy for you guys!!!!!!!!
