{Designer Spotlight: Spring Collection-Kait Emerson Designs & Nuxiemade}

I’m back!!  Back from Mexico that is :)   It was a great vacation and the kids fell in love and want to move there.   Not surprising – they’re little fish and they couldn’t build enough sand castles.  They also had so much fun bartering in nearby villages and looking for seashells where ever they went.  Now that I’m back I feel like I have a TON to catch-up on!  So much to blog (lots in the queue right now).  The first thing that I want to blog is the new Spring Collection by Kait Emerson Designs.  She is talented beyond words and when I received the items to be photographed I instantly decided on a theme.   The Carnival!  The light blues, and pale pinks mixed with a punch of deeper colors screamed FUN and Childhood.  So the kids really got into it.  She included a cool boys shirt for Tyler to model – I love the colors {fun, yet definitely ‘boy’}.  And the cute green and pink headband seen in many of the images are made by my favorite hat maker Nuxiemade.  She has a huge selection of colors to choose from on her site.  Here are a few images from our session.  Check out more items in Kait Emerson’s Spring line at www.kaitemersondesigns.comcarnival-compilationbloggo-kisses-2

I was hoping to post more about my time at WPPI but I’m headed to Puerto Vallarta tomorrow and have been running around trying to get things done before my trip.  So I’ll leave you with a picture of sweet Brielle an image that I thought needed a vintage, aged look.  And Tyler, sitting for a series I’ve been working on.  I love vintage photos.  In fact after I get home from vacation, I’m heading off to my grandmother’s house in the Berkeley hills.  It was a house my grandfather built over 60 years ago.  It’s been quite a while since I’ve been there so I’m looking forward to visiting her and taking pictures of the 100+ stairs that lead up to her house. Anyway, I hate to make this so short but if I don’t I may have to pull an all nighter to get everything done.  Thanks for stopping by!  I’ll blog more when I return!!

{Designer Spotlight: Eliza Kate}

You know how much I love Eliza Kate.  Here’s part of her Spring line!  Isn’t it darling?! She always amazes me with her cute and fun designs and her stuff is so comfortable (that’s coming from a 4 year old – really).  Brielle wanted to sleep in the outfit shown at the bottom of this post since she already had it on, I carefully convinced her that PJ’s would be best for sleeping lol.   Of course Brielle had to wear her boots – she loves those boots.  I’m trying to find some cute strapy sandals that she’ll like and gravitate toward.  ;-)   But whatever makes her happy during a shoot lol.

So I’m getting ready to leave to go out of town for 2 weeks.  One week to WPPI in Vegas {woo hoo!} and then I return home for 2 days and head off to Puerto Vallarta Mexico with my family and my parents for a week.  So I’m trying to get a crazy amount of things done.  I have more Designer Spotlights in the queue waiting to be posted so I’ll be getting to those in between my trips hopefully.  Then bookings are beginning for Spring are getting busy – and I am adding some fun new products as well.  Yay!!   Thanks for stopping by!
