Another Pinterest DIY Project Bites the Dust

12Dec11

I’ve been inspired by the things I see on Pinterest.  While this idea was not of my own, I figured I could kill two birds with one stone.  1)  Clean out my closet of old work shirts that I will never use again, 2)  Make my own Christmas gifts.  You can fit a lot of different things in here!

• Gift cards
• USB flash drives
• Lipsticks or lip gloss
• And more!

This was an idea that was pinned on one of my boards on Pinterest via Up Cycle Your Life

DIY Mini Photo Canvas

09Dec11

I’ve been seeing these DIY photo canvases all over on Pintereset. I wanted to do one and while I was at Jo-Ann’s yesterday I was scoping out the supplies I would need. I found these awesome MINI canvases and easels. Each were $1.99, but were on sale for $1.19. (Sale ends today!!!)

Here’s what I made, step-by-step:

Bradley ~ 10 Months

15Nov11

This was our 3rd re-scheduled date/time for a photo session with Bradley. Just before I was about to leave for this photo session, I got a call from my daughter’s school. One of her teachers, Ms. Kristy, tells me that Mia is not herself. She won’t eat, she won’t sleep, but appears tired. Ms. Kristy tells me it’s up to me to leave her or get her, but she just wanted to let me know. On one hand, I can’t LEAVE my 15-month old daughter. On the other hand, I canNOT be the one to say we have reschedule this session (AGAIN). My husband was unreachable so I call my mom. YES! She can go pick Mia up!

Mini Shoot with the Grass Family

25Oct11

I met Schlaine at a garage sale I had earlier in the year. I was selling all of my GOOD baby stuff. My Bumbo, my baby slings, Boppy (with covers), baby tub, etc. – and she scooped it all up. Smart girl! I KNEW I would like her. Anyway, time passed and before I knew it she had her baby. So here we are three months later for some family portraits done at a local park in our neighborhood. It was a short and sweet session. For $45 you can’t go wrong! Contact me to book your session!

Mini Sessions are a Hit

24Oct11

Due to the high volume of bookings, I’m doing mini sessions. In 30 minutes of shooting, you are promised five (5) finished, professionally retouched, photos. I’m opening up one more day in October for more chances for you to book!

Mini Sessions are Under Way!

12Oct11

Yesterday, I met up with an old co-worker. Funny, how time flies. We’re both now married and have two kids. Kim has two beautiful children. Allison (3 years) and Aaron (8 months). It was a photo shoot to document Aaron’s 8-month birthday as well as a dress-up session in their Halloween costumes. I have given Kim her edited photos, but she’s not releasing the ones of them all dressed up so I can’t release them here either. Here are the four of Aaron. I asked Kim if he ever stops smiling. Her answer was no. This is such a great age. I miss this age with my kids. So if you haven’t booked a session, do it now! Remember, mini sessions are for October only. *NEW* offers in November. But, take advantage of the $45, 30-minute session!

Shopping Open House!

30Sep11

The school that Mia and Andrew go to will having this event called “Shopping Open House”. This is an event that the moms have put together, headed by Diane (Paul’s mom aka Andrew’s classmate), to help raise money for the Mother’s Day Out (MDO) program at the First Baptist Sweetwater. The moms have been invited to be vendors selling their ‘products’. Some moms have handmade, unique items and others represent companies like Mary Kay cosmetics, Thirty-One Gifts, Pampered Chef, etc. There will be more than 10 vendors at this event!

I am advertising photography services for family portraits – just in time for the holidays and selling baby accessories. I will have an assortment of tutus (for infants and toddlers), binky grips, and headbands with interchangeable clips for baby girls.
