Lillian at 8 months.

I didn't get any of her in the studio but this is about the same time last month that I took a few of her. She is quite the cutie.

The small wonders.

I love looking at life the way a small baby does. Full of wonder and fearless. She was very curious about the puppies outside after we came in from sitting on the back porch. I might add; it was super weird to be so warm and mild if FEBRUARY!! I took a couple of shots I love but I had to pick just one for day 12. Here it is!

Socks to be you!

Today I picked up some socks that will make some very nice leggies that my sister and I will sell with our bows and tutus. I kind of wish I were a little girl! Day 12.

Even shadows are beautiful.

This week has been a really up and down week for me. One thing I learned today, is that perspective can certainly change your outlook be it positive or negative. In ways I can't explain, I felt in "shadows" this week. Though shadows don't always get a focal point they could still help make a picture beautiful. Ok, you can say shut up Rachel. Here is Day 11.

Too many hobbies.

So, I have a few things I really love doing. Photography firstly.. then there is hair, scentsy, and bow making in no particular order. They all kind of intertwine in one studio and I couldn't be more happy to say I love my job. Well, jobs! I was working on a custom order of 20 bows and once I got done I was playing with colors and a few new bows for the Razzmatazz line. Thought this could be my Photo of the day. Day 10.

The two things that make me smile.

Tonight was just any easy photograph to take,it may not be technical or pleasing to all, but it is special to me. I love that my husband gets on the floor to play with my daughter and she loves it too. Day 9 ( I couldn't choose one)

My favorite kind of light.

My favorite kind of light also provides me with a yummy fragrance! This is Day 8's photo.

Alyssa and a puppy.

Too sweet not to post, I had a cute little mini session last weekend I just finished up and I have to share a few of my favorites. Alyssa is a sweetie and so is the pooch!

My favorite kitchen gadget is kitschy.

I was in Target with a dear friend tonight and we were talking about our weakness when it come to buying things we may not need but love. Mine is anything baby (of course) and KITCHEN GADGETS! I LOVE my mixer! It is apple green and matched quite alot of my other kitchen utensils. So, here is day 7!

Hair it is!

One of my favorite things to do besides photography is HAIR! So this is my picture for day 6!

TRYING to take paws...

Well, I tried. Lillian and Sierra are just too fast tonight and I am just too tired. This was the best picture that was taken out of all of them..it is kind of cute. I do love puppy paws and baby fingers ;) This is day 5's photo.

Frilly Girly things

On top of doing photography, I also work on bows and hand-made goodies for Razzmatazz Unique Boutique. My sister Rhonda and I started it not too long ago and we are looking forward to future craft fairs. Day four is a picture of a custom order I made.

The D Girls

This is one thing I love about what I do... I know these images will last a lifetime and I think they are pretty darn cute. Just Sayin. Here are a few of my personal favs!

Instead of sleep

I can not seem to break away from the computer tonight! I decided that my editing software didn't seem to have enough presets that actually made sense to me to use with my photography style. So I decided that I would make some of my very own. I am in no way saying that I will rely solely on the presets without making any further adjustments, but it does make it so much easier to edit. My brain very rarely shuts off when I am working on some photos that I love.. I am sure I will have some from my latest session tomorrow!

No biz like bow biz

My goal is to have this whole rack filled with bows and other props that I am working on for my studio. Nothing says cute like a sweet boy or girl and add a bow or bow tie.. and bam.

Day three...my somewhat empty bow rack.

Non toxic seems smart

Since I have become a mom I am more aware that the chemicals we use in our homes aren't always really safe for us or children. I have decided to give natural/non toxic cleaners a try. Here is to hoping that they work well enough with a little elbow grease and will power. This is my photo for day 2 of 365.

365 or something like that...

I am going to TRY this take a picture everyday and post it thing. I pretty much take pictures everyday but they seldom get uploaded and shared. This is going to be a fun chore for me. Day 1 "you are my sunshine" You will probably see alot of my little one since I am with her most all the time..she inspires me. The trick will be to come up with different pictures.. this photo is one such picture.

My Favorite thing of all time is taking pictures of babies and children, they are so precious!! This little darling just happens to be mine! Lillian is 7 months old and is ooooo so serious when mommy puts the camera in her face!
