Just wanted to FYI you, I'm not a vendor. Jessica takes my family pictures. She has done a wonderful job and I wanted to let people know about the deal that she is offering through her mini sessions.
I don't post a lot here but I do on parenting. People are ALWAYS asking who to use as a photographer. Thus, my recommendation.
Re: Payne2B2008
whether you are the owner of that photo studio or not, the post you made is against the bump TOS.
You are not allowed to post what is essentially an ad for a vendor...no matter what.
I am not looking for some one to take my son's photo & I am sure you don't mean harm
Edit - Ok I just want back & looked at your old post. There is a fine line between vender reviews & looking like a Vender.
Personally I love reading vender reviews but I don't like seeing vender like post on here
FWIW, I will continue to post as I see fit. If you don't like, don't open it.
Oh and here is the mini session info for those that are looking at this thread.

You'll notice she was also published in the knot magazine for a wedding she did.
I don't see anything wrong with the post. It does give a vendor-like vibe, but as far as I'm concerned, it's no different than having someone post to ask for recommendations and having fellow Bumpies reply. I know, I personally was WAY excited about my engagement pic photographer a couple years ago and wanted to shout it to the moon, and did so on The Knot. Doesn't mean I had any affiliation with the vendor himself, which I didn't.
So, just my $.02.
Listen, with all due respect we don't care about how wonderful she is and if she's got some wicked mini session deal going on right now. If we want a photographer recommendation we'll ask for it, you don't have to come over here once a month and post about how awesome she is.
Every post you've made over here in the last two months has been about this photog, and her specials. You like her that's great but there are a ton of other photographers on this board and they don't whore out their services nearly as much as you're doing for this lady.
Perhaps if you came over here more often and posted about things that are relevent to that day's conversation we'd be more inclined to listen to you, but I am not, and for future reference I won't be responding to or looking at any of your posts.
And if I want picture's of my DS I'll call one of the other 4 photographer's on the board that I know that don't whore out their services.
This is a good point.
This is true. It was someone who had the name of their photography business as their SN, and a link to their business in their siggy. I'm guessing this person was banned.
Ditto. I may not always be looking for a photographer/other vendor but I like reading good reviews and may keep them in mind when I am looking for someone. I think Jessica takes amazing photos and was interested to hear that she does mini sessions. I guess unless you are a vendor and blantantly advertising your business I really don't see what the issue is.
Photo taken at 16 months old
She was.
Ahhh, that makes sense. I was wondering why she quoted someone else. I didn't realize there was a response deleted. Thanks for pointing that out.
Either way. I'll continue to update when there is a mini session. If you don't want to read it, that's fine by me!
