Hurricane Irene

We were fortunate not to get effected by Hurricane Irene last weekend aside for a  bit of wind – which we made the most of by getting some kites and spending some good ‘ol fashioned family time together.

fall fashion

Fall portrait season is right around the corner (literally, it starts next week!!). So I thought I’d scour some of my favorite children’s fashion site for some ideas for you on what to wear for your session. There is SO much cute stuff out there, its time for a shopping spree!!

Here are some ADORABLE fashions from Zara for your little ones:

 


 


I absolutely LOVE and ADORE Nelly Stella. They are very high-end ($$$$) but totally gorgeous. Online ordering is coming soon (according to their site), but in the meantime you can head up to their New York store for some fall treats!! Just look at there beautiful outfits:

Noa Noa Minature isn’t available in the USA, but man I wish it was – they have SUCH adorable stuff!! Check out their website for style ideas. Theses are a few of my favs:

 

 

And there is always JCrew which has such afforadable cute clothes for kids:

Remember – you don’t have to purchase these exact outfits, but use these ideas to get the wheels turning for your child’s outfits for their fall portrait!

 

Happy shopping!!!

Announcing…

I am pleased to announce two major bits of news for you all. The first I am really excited about – it’s is a new option when it comes to your birth announcements, greeting cards and other photo stationary – our Tiny Prints Affiliate program! Your beautiful images from our session along with Tiny Prints wide selection of gorgeous product line is truly a match made in heaven.

The second bit of news (which you lucky newsletter subscribers already heard about and have started booking) are the announcement of our fall minis. We are hosting two set this year. The firs is our Holiday Mini-Sessions. For days only we will be having 30 minute sessions in which we will capture 8-10 gorgeous mages of your family for you to choose from. From those you will receive an 8×10, 2 5x7s and 2 packs of Custom Designer Greeting cards or you can choose to have two prints uploaded to TinyPrints where you can choose from one of their hundreds of designs printed.

 

 

The second set of mini-sessions we are having this year are Halloween Mini-Sessions. This one I am really  excited about. I can’t wait to meet all of the adorable little princesses, ghouls, pirates and jack-o-lanterns! These little sessions will be 20 minutes long and from it you’ll have 8-10 images  to choose from to have not only 3 5×7 prints made but also the low-resolutions digital file of each image to show off online with your family and friends.

 

 

We are really excited about all of the fun Fall things we have going on and can’t wait to see you and your family soon!
