A Change In Plans...

Hello Everyone!
I have made a photo shoot change!
April 17th is now a Mommy and Me Retro Portrait Session!
With every Session booked I will be donating $50 to the
American Cancer Society ~ Relay For Life

I gave two sample portraits to show the same person in two different outfits!  Don't be afraid to look in your closet!  I know there will be something that we can work with!  Liz above did a simple rockabilly look with jean capris and a black button top and some fun heels!  In the other portrait she is wearing a cute green dress.  We added a fun apron from http://www.peachcupcakes.com/.  We will have other fun accessories like pearls, suitcases, kitchen accessories, etc! I will be putting up more pictures of the props we will have available.  I am also hoping to have some great hair bows, bow ties, and flower accessories from Whoa Mama!

My vision is a cross between June Cleaver and Norman Rockwell!
I'm envisioning moms holding their baby and a toddler pulling at their apron strings all the while looking sexy....who's ready??  Mom and kids eating yummy cupcakes or drinking milkshakes.  Sons bringing their mom flowers or sharing a coke. Kids helping their mom hanging laundry in the backyard! Or gathering under a parasol....so many ideas and so little time!
I will be putting some samples up of my vision!

Book your time now!  I am only booking 4 sessions!
10am, 12pm, 3pm, and 5pm
What time works best for you!

This is a great gift for Mother's Day!
Tell your hubby's now and he can get you a gift certificate for this session!
Also, I if book all four sessions I will donate an additional $100 to the American Cancer Society!
Please help me to raise money for the Relay For Life!

Who do you think you relate to the more?  Who's portrait would you like to recreate?  Which one do you love but think you would never do? :) Tee hee!
I really loved Kristen Stewart's...didn't recognize her at first...Would love to recreate Amy Adams..So cute and sexy and a red head...ahhh...wishful thinking for flat abs! :)  Photoshop can do wonders...I just might try it!
