{Happy Thanksgiving!}

This morning I overheard Tyler asking Brielle if she knows why we celebrate thanksgiving.  She answered ‘because we’re thankful’.  Tyler began to tell her the story of the pilgrims, how the woman back then had to keep their caps on or it was considered rude, etc.  He was so excited sharing with her what he knew about the this special day.  He even drew her pictures of Turkeys but added, ‘Did you know they didn’t eat Turkey at all on the first Thanksgiving?’.  Who knew?  LOL 

 There’s  so much to be Thankful for this year and every year.  I’m trying to stay away from my computer today but wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.  I hope your day is filled with warmth, togetherness, and positive reflection.  Have a great holiday celebration!

{Designer Spotlight: Kait Emerson & NuxieMade}

These two keep coming out with amazing new designs and color combinations.  I was so excited when I saw what Feanna, of Kait Emerson sent me.  Her fall/winter line is fabulous with the peasant patterned tops, ruffled pants, apron dresses, and solid twirl skirt (passes the ‘twirl test with Brielle’ – it’s one of her favorites to wear).  Melissa, talented hat designer for NuxieMade, coordinated the hats perfectly with the Kait Emerson’s line.  As we were photographing, people (in particular woman) would stop and say ‘I love that hat! Where did you find it?’  Of course I carried her business cards with me to the shoot :)   Also during the shoot another photographer who does ‘corporate profile work’, stopped me and asked all about Brielle’s outfit…then we talked shop ab0ut lenses, lighting, camera bodies, etc.  ;-)   It was fun chatting with passer-by’s – so friendly and warm (love people like that).    Anyway, I wanted to share with you these adorable designs that can be found at  Kait Emerson Designs and Nuxiemade, check them out!

{The Little Traveler}

my-lil-creations-boutique-style-frame5b

I have the best job ever!  I was so lucky to photograph this darling little 13th month old who flew in from Washington DC last week.  Okay, so they didn’t fly here just for the session….they were visiting Sedona and made a little detour mid-trip to meet me for a session!  And they even brought gifts!  Yes, for me, Tyler and Brielle. Such an awesome greeting – thank you again Pamela you are so thoughtful.

What a happy, expressive little girl.  She was on the move and fast so her mom, dad and I got a serious workout LOL.  But it was fun and Juliana was full of curiosity exploring everything around her.    Here’s a little peek from our fun session together :)

{ZoGirl’s Spring Line Peek – ‘Brielle Dress’}

img_7195gg

Ekkk!!  I’m so excited!  Julie, designer and master seamstress behind the amazing ZozoBugBaby clothing brought me in on a little secret.  I got to see and photograph part of her super fun ZoGirl Spring line  (for girls sizes 6 and up)!!  I’ve had these images done for a little while now, but I’ve had to keep them hush, hush until the designs were released to her whole-salers and other peeps in the design industry.  These Spring styles were 50′s inspired – they are flirty, with a vintage flare and a touch of retro.  I love the combination!!  And guess what?!  She even named this one ‘The Brielle Dress’.  I’m completely flattered and ecstatic!!  See more of her fantastic work here
