Asheville Newborn Baby Photographer
Christina!!! I almost missed your comment!!! That was quick. I thought this might go on for a few days. The answer?
Betsey Johnson!! I love her but nope, I don’t have any of her clothes. So Christina, email me and we can set up your free session!!! Yay!! Thank you everyone for participating! That was fun!
Okay, I thought I would have a little contest for some fun! The first person to guess my favorite designer will get a FREE session with me (a $250 value)!
Here are the rules: This session must be used by July 31st and must be in the Manhattan area. This does not include prints or the free 8×10 canvas that is being given to the first 5 NY clients. Guesses need to be left as a comment on this post. You can guess as many times as you would like. As soon as someone gets it right, the contest is over and I will put up the winner!
Here’s a hint: I don’t own any of her clothes because let’s face it, I’m not a millionaire. 😉 And yes, I said “her”. And her name has a “t” in it.
Good luck!
So if you follow my blog, you know that Mya HATES having her picture taken and usually starts crying the instant she sees my camera. No joke. Well, yesterday I was sorting through all of my props, getting them in order, getting excited about booking some new NY clients, uh hmmm….yes, NY clients (that’s a hint to the New Yorkers to book me lol) and Mya started putting on the hats and tutus and asked me to take her picture. WHAT?!! Of course I said, “Absolutely!” She was so cute and wanted her Papa Bear in the pictures too. I realized that by placing her beloved Papa Bear on top of the camera, I was able to get her to look and smile at the camera all at the same time! Girl, you made my day!
Mya has always loved books. We started reading to her the day that she came home from the hospital. Having been a teacher, this was so important to me. It has really payed off! Her language skills are just so incredible and now she loves books! This morning, I was helping Ryder move a huge, heavy shelf into our room that he had put so much time into putting together and I looked and saw Mya doing this:
It took all that I had not to drop the shelf and run and get the camera. 😉 When we had the shelf in our room though, that’s what I did. She just looked so relaxed and content. That doesn’t happen too often. She is so high energy. I took her to a little gym place this morning to try it out and one mom said, “Wow, she sure is active!” All of the other moms/nannies were watching her and laughing because she was so insanely hyper!! Oh my gosh, she really wears me out! But I love her and she keeps me going even when I would give anything to lay down for one second. lol
By the way, see those pictures on her wall behind her bed? I got that idea from this lady. She’s kind of a genius. Okay, she is, and I love looking at her site. If you’ve never seen it, check it out. She has so many great ideas and not to mention, she’s a phenomenal photographer! I have been into photography for a long time, since I was a teenager, but after seeing some of her work, that is when I said, “I”m going to DO that!” And I did. 🙂
And yes, I know, more pictures of Mya. These New Yorkers sure are hard to book! It will happen….one day!
This weekend we had so much fun checking out new parks and places around our neighborhood. I had no idea that so many playgrounds in NY have sprinklers. So cool! Mya is in love with them too. It was a hot weekend so thank goodness for all of the cool water! Hope everyone had a nice, relaxing Memorial Weekend!! I feel so revived. Ryder and I even took a nap yesterday while Mya was napping. We never, ever do that. I almost felt like we were on vacation! Ahhhh…now back to the daily grind. 😉
