March Parents Photo Contest Winner

Shelley Kolasa

Congratulations to Shelley Kolasa! She took this photo of her 10 week old, Liam, and won a free Bella Life sitting! Liam was photographed by Bella Baby at Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights, IL. Nice work, mom!

We want to see how our bella babies are growing.  Send us one of your favorite photos of your baby each month to secure your chance to win a free Bella Life sitting ($125 value).  The sky’s the only limitation to your imagination…..the only requirements are that your baby is in the photo, you are not a professional photographer, and that your baby was originally photographed by Bella Baby Photography. Send your entry to contest@bellababyphotography.com with “Parent Photo Contest” in the subject line.

Please include: your baby’s name, mom’s name, and the hospital name, city and state that Bella Baby photographed your little one.

Each month the winner will be posted on our blog. Good luck!!! We can’t wait to see your photos.
