Illia Designs

Have I mentioned before that if I had a girl I would be very, very broke?:) There is just SO much out there to buy for girls I dont think I would be able to stop. Anyway, I just bought this dress for a gift from Illia Designs from Etsy (my favorite). Isn't the cutest? What is so great about this design is that after the child grew out of it as a dress it could be worn as a tunic/top. Love the clothes that grow with you! Anyway, I like to post my shopping finds for photography wardrobe reasons and because I know there is someone reading this who loves a little retail therapy like me.

Fun to be ONE! I heart birthdays!!

Birthdays are great at any age. Plus, it is such a great time to be photographed! Is this little guy not the most gorgeous thing ever?! His eyes are just amazing. As I have posted before, I love the custom/handmade products found on Etsy. If you are scheduling a session, I encourage you to browse around on their site, you just may be inspired! There are great newborn and baby hats, custom clothing and fun accessories like this little birthday crown below made by True Love Found. Of course feel free to email me if you need some direction or suggestions. I am sort of an addict for their site. Coming up soon...a few newborns and my first engagement session! (this is a new adventure for me!)

My obsession with Etsy: Hunting for girls clothes

I already posted about searching for boys clothes HERE. Now for those of you with girls, consider yourself lucky. There is so much to choose from! I keep mentioning my love for Etsy and I just came across this cute onesie and leg warmer set from mama runs with scissors for just $21! How cute would this be for your little ones photo session? I LOVE it. I can see it now, chubby little legs, cheeks and smiles.

Don't forget! Only a couple days left of my Valentines special! Contact me ASAP!

Hunting for boys clothes

I am always on the hunt for cute boys clothes. I definitely do love Mini Boden and Baby Gap, but so doesn't every other mother on the planet. If you want something truely unique for boys you have to search hard. One of my obsessions these days is Etsy. The variety is endless and there are oh so many unique handmade products. I recently bought this shirt for Cale from from Super Sweet Creations and I am pretty sure I love it. However, sometimes I think he may look a little like Mike Brady going off to work. I guess he needs to "own it" to pull it off.

I snapped this shot of him today and of course he wanted to take his "camera" out too.
I had to add this photo as well. Seriously, who laughs this hard while reading a book about a rabbit and a rainbow? Oh boy, I love this kid!
