The cutest baby contest is over, and we have a winner! There were about 10 entries, and every one of the babies were very cute. For everyone who entered, keep in mind that if you book any session before January 1st you will receive a 25% discount.

Our winner is Mackenzie, who is 10 months old. Congratulations Mackenzie and parents, I’ll be contacting you soon to work out the details of your free session!

Do you know someone with a really cute baby?  I’m going to run a contest through the end of October to try to find the cutest baby!  The winner will receive a free baby session with a $50 print credit ($100 value).  All entries will receive 25% off any session (including non-baby sessions) booked before January 1st 2009.

Here are the rules, and how to enter:

1) To enter, submit a photo of your baby.  You may submit an entry for a friend of family member as long as they give you permission.  By submitting your photo you are agreeing that I have the right to post the image on this blog. Send your photo to corey@coreypotter.com.  Include the baby’s name and age in your email.

2) Deadline for entry is midnight on October 31st.

3) Photo must not be taken by a professional photographer, and hospital photos do not qualify for entry.

4) Prizes are only awarded to the parents of the baby in the photo.  This includes the baby session for the winners and the 25% discount to other entries.

5) “Baby” means any child under the age of 18 months.

6) All sessions will be shot on location or in the home of the baby (unless other arrangements are made).

7) All judging will be done by Corey and Ashley Potter, and is completely subjective.

Good luck!

Tyler Newton Shick is just over 6 weeks old, which is right on the end of the “newborn” stage. He is adorable and I was able to learn alot from Carrie (my cousin) who had some great ideas for baby photography. I really look forward to taking more pictures of Tyler as he goes through his first year.

Here are my favorites from the session:

Today I got to take pictures of my second cousin, Tyler. I have alot to learn about photographing newborns, but I at least got a few good pictures. Here is one of my favorites… I should be posting some more tonight or tomorrow so be sure to check back.

I have been excited about taking pictures of Sloan for a long time! She is one of the cutest babies ever! She was a little grumpy when we first got there, so I didn’t get to do some of the cool family shots I had in mind… but she was sure happy when she got the cake!

Branson’s new nickname is Branson Silly Pants… and Sloan is Slony Balogna
