If you've contacted me recently for maternity, newborn or family portraits, you'll know I'm already on my maternity leave (I'm nowhere near as mobile as I like to be when photographing little ones!) and planning to start shooting again on May 15th. I have a waiting list started for the spring but won't be booking yet for another couple weeks.
There are going to be lots of fun changes coming to Jenn Di Spirito Photography in the next couple months including a new website, portrait collections that will make it easy to decide how to display your images on your wall (and save you money too!), a gorgeous new product that I'm so excited to offer (but you'll have to wait for more info on that), a beautiful new welcome package for my clients and much, much more.
I'm also planning on offering a special bonus to everyone on my email list once I open up bookings for spring sessions. If you're interested, you can sign up by entering your email list in the sign up box at the top of your screen, between the about section and the search field. And you don't have to worry about me spamming you.... in all the time I've had that box up there, I think I've sent out one email although my goal for 2010 is to send them out quarterly.
So the blog hiatus is going to continue for another few weeks while we prepare here to become a family of four but I will be posting regularly again soon. When this blog first started it was strictly personal - a place to share our own family images and for me to update friends and family on our lives. Then it changed to be business focused, and I've since realized that having a strictly business blog doesn't work for me either (obviously, by the lack of posts). So going forward you're going to see a good mix of what's going on at Jenn Di Spirito Photography as well as a good dose of what goes on here a la casa Di Spirito.
I'll be back to let you all know about our new arrival when he/she appears. And for those who have asked, we didn't find out whether the little one is a boy or a girl, we are truly happy with either. Although Angelo has been telling everyone he's having a sister who is going to be a boy baby so he's in for a shock either way. :)

And the one on the right is the look you get when you're bribing your kid with Smarties and they wonder where the last one went. :)

Great photos Jenn, he's so adorable and look how big he's getting!
Oh my goodness...he's getting so big! And he's so cute! Watch out for those girls calling all the time when he gets older!! Love those dimples!
And great Photoshop work...I can't tell where you might have done anything (being the Photoshop guru that I am...haha!).

He is sooooooo adorable - I love the eye you have for different angles! Amazing work, Jen!

I LOVE your website and blog. SO cute and so original. And BEAUTIFUL!
your blog is really cute, love the layout and some beautiful portraits!
Your photography is amazing. What a cute little guy. I am in Portland - we should get together for coffee sometime. Hope to stay in touch of BYW ends. Warm Regards.
I am in LOVE with your gorgeous blog. Looks at these cute photos...makes me smile! When i have a little one i would love to have you take photo of her. Have a lovely merry happy weekend and love to you!
I love that the businesses are all run by local women entrepreneurs and feel honoured to be included in such an amazing group. You can find more information and check out the list of vendors at the Children's Trunk Show website.
So mark your calendars for Friday November 6th and Saturday November 7th. When you're at the show, please make sure you stop by and say hi.

I'm planning on stopping by. Hopefully I'll see you there on Saturday!
We headed out for a quick session over the Thanksgiving weekend (much to my brother-in-law's delight).
Definitely a new favourite....
Isn't she gorgeous?
Congrats you guys! Can't wait to meet our new nephew.

You can totally tell you guys are sisters! She is absolutely gorgeous and glowing!! I love the one of them sitting in the grass and the one of them standing on the beach. I can hardly wait to see all the newborn photos. That's going to be one very photographed baby!!
What an awesome session! And what a lucky sister she is to have YOU for her photographer!
Wow, Jenn. These photos are stunning! She is just glowing and I can definitely tell that you are sisters - this must be the one who got married in Mexico (I think?).
Amazing color, composition and focus! Wow!
Hi Jenn. Lydia here from FrancyPants. I just wanted to take a look at your blog :) I really like these maternity shots, especially the last one in front of the lake. What an awesome location, beautiful couple, and great shots!
The beauty of photographing on location is that I get to discover some truly amazing locations in the lower mainland. I think this spot is going to be a new favourite - so many possibilities!

More adorable photos! You really have a knack with those newborns!!
wow, for being so much older, you captured some beauties! I wish I could come with you and watch you work your magic!
Have a good time in TO!
Newborns are best photographed between 5 and 10 days old so I ask all my clients to include me in their email when they announce their new arrival to friends and family. My first thought when I received the email about this little one is that she has such a beautiful face and I couldn't wait to photograph her.
Her parents wanted to make sure we got some of those sleepy baby photographs - my favourite kind! Check and mark.
I absolutely love the dreamy look of this next one.
Does she not have fabulously big baby blues? Her mama told me about them but since Miss C was sleeping when I arrived, I didn't get to experience them for myself until halfway through the session. I've never had a baby go from complete sleep to wide-eyed and smiling back to complete sleep in such a short amount of time.
This one made me laugh. Okay photographer lady, not sure about being wrapped up like a burrito like this. And boy did she fight it. I had to be quick for these shots because, even with my super baby-swaddling skills, she still made a great Houndini.
Thanks so much for inviting me into your home.

What an amazing shot! I can't get over how bang on your focus is...it's amazing!!!
I'm so excited for you! And I'm excited to see everything you have coming up. I might have to make a trip over with Colin and Chloe for a family shoot.
I can't believe it's only 2 weeks until you are due! I hope everything is going well. :) And I'm looking forward to more sharing on your blog. Miss you!
