Tracy Just wanted to say how much I love your work. I am a commercial product photographer currently on mat leave and I think your portraiture work is some of the best I’ve ever seen! Great slings on the linked site, babywearing is a lifesaver!

Tamara Perreira Love Baby Slings and Other things!!! I have a sling, hair clips and a soother clip from Maple. Great products and great quality. The Pita pocket sling would make a great gift for any new mom!

Kim Loving the blue flowered pouches. Babywearing certainly is a life saver, and I am sure that my beloved slings will get tons of use once my twins arrive.

Sarah @ BecomingSarah.com Wow, the pita pocket pouch sling and the wraps she makes all look so comfy. And those fabrics are cool. I like that she uses some stripe fabrics that aren’t as super-girly =)

Also, BEAUTIFUL newborn photos. That first one is amazing!

Amy Maple does amazing work. I love her hair clips and slings.

Justine VanKesteren Isabella is an absolutely gorgeous baby! You’ve captured this precious age perfectly! As for the slings…I absolutely wish that I would have had one for my three. It would have saved me the sore arms and wrists…now I know what to buy for all those baby showers!

June 2, 2009 - 9:17 pm

Jen Wow I have always used my heart to heart sling, but these look more comfy…after having four kids, I need something comfy! 😉

June 2, 2009 - 8:22 pm

Carry Aultman I love the slings, they are beautiful and uber useful too. Beautiful photos as always Gillian. Great find too!

Catherine I can’t believe Isabelle has so much hair! Mine are 14 months old, and don’t have that much hair combined! I love the slings too!

June 2, 2009 - 4:21 pm

Monica I love these pics of baby Isabelle, the full head of dark hair is just too cute.

I am excited about this online store, I have it bookmarked already!! The hair clips are perfect, so many colors to choose from…. YIPPEE!!

Maple Gillian, baby Isabella is beautiful, I just love your work!! I just wanted to thank you for having me on your blog for the give away this week……I also wanted to let everyone know that I have a few new fabrics for summer, I hope to have them on the web site before the give away ends!

lyndsay hyatt-almeida these shots are so yummy!!! i can’t even pick a favorite. okay, the last one is probably my fav. btw, i think you and i could be bff…just sayin’. 🙂

June 2, 2009 - 8:09 am

Rebecca Love the newborn pics – they are always so precious. Checked out the website – very cool stuff (soother clips are adorable!). A sling would definitly come in handy – love the black snake skin fabric…

June 1, 2009 - 11:22 pm

Mich Gillian, I love these pics of baby Isabelle and the full head of dark hair is just so adorable. The first picture is my fav with her face all snuggled on daddy’s shoulder. Too cute!! I also love the soother clips on Baby Slings & Other Things. Maybe these eye catching and colorful clips would have been the key to getting my girls to take a soother vs. my struggles with now trying to get them to stop sucking their thumb and finger 🙂

June 1, 2009 - 10:21 pm

Michelle I’d love to give the sling to my cousin who just had a baby

June 1, 2009 - 10:04 pm

Shannon I love all the pics, but the one on the blanket with her bum up in the air….priceless!!! A sling sure would come in handy with a almost 4 yr old, 2 yr old and a new baby coming…ahhh!

Melissa Gillan I am addicted to your blog!
