ETSY

This week, my mom and I decided to open up a shop on ETSY. (As if I didn't already have enough going on.) We decided to do it together and use both our ideas and creativity for different items to sell. ETSY is awesome. For those of you who haven't already discovered this site, drop everything and go check it out. It is a place for people to sell handmade and vintage products. There are so many wonderful shops that sell anything and everything you can imagine.

My mom and I decided to narrow what we make to include baby/children items. I have made some super cute tutus. Mom has crocheted some beautiful baby cocoons. I plan on using these for photo props. We will be adding more as we complete them. Mom's going to crochet some baby blankets and we'll both be doing some quilting. I took some photos of my girls modeling the tutus.

I had a photo session scheduled for last night. I was to photograph a 3 week old little guy. I was so excited! I'm needing a little baby 'fix' lately. Well, the whole family (including baby Bronson) have gotten very sick, so the session was cancelled. I'm so bumbed it was cancelled and am really hoping to get to see baby Bronson very soon. I'm planning to use one of the cocoons my mom made during the photo session. Should be fun.

Maternity and More

September 6, 2009


Last Sunday I had the wonderful joy of photographing a friend of mine. She is expecting her first baby in a few weeks and wanted to capture her growing belly in photos. I had so much fun with her. And, although she was nervous at first, we got some really great shots.

I love having a studio in my home. It was so relaxing for Mommy-to-be to change clothes and feel comfortable while I left the room. It is really a great setup.

Here's some of my favorites from the day. I have left her name and face off the site for privacy reasons.






The day after this shoot I had the great pleasure of having my wisdom teeth removed (insert sarcasm here.) I'm still kicking myself for not having them removed 15 years ago like I should have! I purposely didn't book any sessions for a full week so I could take time to recover. I received an email on Thursday from Bethany asking if we could get together for a photo session in the park on Saturday. I thought, 'hey I'm feeling pretty good. let's do it!' Bethany and Mike's little boy Eli is so darn cute and a joy to photograph. The parents weren't bad either. . . :)

An added bonus was having my family at the park also. Daddy took the girls for a walk on the boardwalk and some running around in the park while I had some fun with the Morgan family. I love my job!
