baby's got her skinny jeans on."

I have several dresses from this etsy store I need to photograph, but tonight's light and these beautiful flowers were just calling to me for this one. My model was being sooooo amazingly cooperative. Unfortunately, *I* stepped in bull nettle and had to cut our beautiful mini session way too short.

I so wish you guys could hear how she says this word. It's precious. So breathy and her little mouth makes the cutest "o" formation. But anyway, here's another awesome Etsy find. One of my clients put these bows on her daughter at our session. Small world, because the creator of the bows happened to see my blog post with them in it and sent me a little note (you can see her bows here and in the profile pic here).

The bow Amry is wearing can be found here, but unfortunately, it can no longer be found in my home since my little angel tossed it out of the shopping cart the very next day after taking these pics.

Speaking of etsy, what do we think about this chair slipcover? Cool or gaudy?

Love, love, love this dress from Lillipops Designs. The cut, the shape, the fit, the flow, the fabric...so classic and romantic and still child-like. Much to my surprise, the dress sold out just after she posted the pics on her FB page, but hang in there, I think she's planning to create this dress again, just with a different material.

Oh dear, we had a time trying to get these pics. Basically, Amry doesn't like me to be more than 1 foot away from her. So short of shooting everything with a fisheye lens, I'm forced to set her down, run, and pray I can get one or two shots before she starts crying for me. [All the folks around me just looked at me and shook their heads in pity--not sure who for? me or her?]. I thought the popcorn would do the trick, but quite literally after I took that pic, she turned the entire box upside down. I'm in major trouble in a few years, aren't I?

Now for the news on Pinkle Toes holiday sessions. Are you ready? Here it is: there are only 4, that's right FOUR, openings left for Premium Sessions (2 in August and 2 in Sept) for the holidays. Yeah. I couldn't believe it myself. I double counted. It's accurate. Now, I will be holding some Xpressions mini sessions scheduled in the fall, but keep in mind that those are only for up to 3 immediate family members.

Anyway, I just thought I'd throw that out there. I know it's hard to think about holiday pictures when it's 110 outside, but I don't want you to get "left out in the cold" either (funny, huh?). So, if you want to snag one of those openings, you need to contact me ASAP. They will be filled first-come, first-serve.
