In September, we hosted our monthly Bella Baby contest and our monthly Bella Life contest. We also had our Bella Baby 3rd quarter contest. The category for this quarter was “Best Hair.” Eligible entries for the quarterly contest were photographed during hospital sessions in July, August, or September. We are excited to reveal the winners of the September & 3rd Quarter 2024 contests. Congratulations to all the winners!
Now….A word from the photographers
Anka Parzych received 1st place for this entry in the Bella Baby monthly contest. Here are her thoughts on the image: “I loved the whites in that room, and was doing a challenge with another photographer to get a mid/wide shot near the window and having a clean environment and this mom and this room were perfect for this! This mom was super fun and excited when I got in. I knew I could have fun in there. :)”
Anka’s beautiful image of this mom and her new baby captures the essence of Bella Baby’s photography style. The crisp, clean backdrop of the hospital window brings all the focus to this special moment between mom and baby. Excellent work Anka!
Kate Motherwell said this about her winning image: “When I entered the room, baby Michael’s hair was the first thing I noticed. I knew this was going to be a fun session! I had to make sure I put some focus on his hair because we were joking around how he and his dad had the same hair.”
Kate received a well-deserved 2nd place in our “Best Hair” quarterly contest. We love how Kate captured a bit of Michael’s hospital environment and showed off his incredible head of hair all in one memorable image. Just a few days old and he was having an amazing hair day, what a lucky baby!
Last, but certainly not least, a few words from Alison Thompson, the 2nd place winner in our Bella Life contest. Alison told us: “It was an unusually cold morning so the kids were having trouble warming up, both literally and figuratively! I told mom to grab the oldest and hold her and tickle her and she started laughing immediately!”
This family braved some less than ideal temperatures for a morning photo shoot. Alison’s expertise in prompting some interaction between this mom & daughter resulted in a beautiful image. Congratulations Alison!
Many congratulations!
Great work to all of our photographers this month & this quarter. It’s always such a joy to share the wonderful work of our team and celebrate the beautiful families we photograph. Congratulations to the September & 3rd Quarter 2024 winners on a job well done!
