sittin’ on the dock of the bay…

Sweet Mr. E won me over from the start with his red hair, big blue eyes and 2 bottom teeth. There is something so perfect about 8 months old. My favorite baby shot of my own little guy was at 8 months of age. Mom and Gigi sure had their work cut out chasing him around the dock but I love how it came to life…especially the very last shot of the entire session with him and his gorgeous mama!!

 

more gumball goodness!

Spring has flown by and I’m trying to catch up a bit on the blog to showcase some of the adorable moments and children I was so blessed to be apart of! This is just a small taste of all the fun we had in April out at the Gumball Mini Session Event. From babies and dogs, to college seniors and the latest mix-in-match line for Cici and Ryann, we squeezed in as much as we could and had a bubblicious-good time!

Special thanks to The TomKat Studio for our custom printable signs!

buttercup bling + mdp = super sweet

This adorable wooden, gumball-inspired necklace from Buttercup Bling could not have been any more PERFECT for my gumball mini sessions. You should have seen me like a kid tearing into the package when it arrived – designer Becky contacted me about this piece she was creating but I had no idea HOW perfect it’s sweet and simple little self would be.

I will say it was a big hit here with my little muse:) AND it truly goes with SO many things in her closet and instantly transforms any outfit!! For those of you looking to maximize your purchases, I can cheerfully tell you that this necklace will fit both mom and daughter.

Here we paired the Buttercup Bling necklace with one of the newly released summer Cici and Ryann mix-n-match outfits!

red shed antiques – french market sale

I am letting you in on one of Grapevine’s best kept secrets – Red Shed Antiques. Tucked away in a quaint little area of downtown Grapevine, Red Shed Antiques offers up an adorabe cottage and wonderful shopping experience for all sorts of shabby chic French antiques. Their one-of-a-kind furnishings and incredible finds from annual trips to Europe are sure to win you over! I had a blast shooting one of their seasonal French market sales. These ladies go ALL out with styling their selections and it was so hard to even choose what to post on the blog. You simply must go check out their shop in person! So many of you ask about this red door display and mantle featured up in the studio, and THIS is where I found those treasures!

 

gigi - So many wonderful treasurers…i’m ready for a shopping trip to Red Shedd Antiques :)

Are these jeans not SO fun? I love the colors, the mismatched patterns and this entire up-cycled creation! And as you’ll see, there are coordinating boys ties available too, all brought to you by Gracie Girl Designs.  For those of you that came out to our fall anniversary event up at the studio, you may remember the adorable Gracie Girl booth full of little girls’ accessories, boots, clothes and MORE! I love the way these photographed and had to share for some wardrobe inspiration. Shop these goodies in person at Let’s Pretend in Grapevine at and at Celebrations & Invitations in Flower Mound.
