Foto Friday and an Etsy Extravagaza!

Happy Friday!

Today, Brynn and Summer were featured models in Michelle Moore’s Etsy shop—My Heart Felt Bows. And let me tell you—they are not the ideal models. As a photographer, you’d think that my daughters would be well behaved in front of the camera, posing for me like the pros, but in fact they were far from it. I think they have already begun to rebel against me. Brynn was wining the whole time, constantly repeating the world “down”. So, I had to take out every mother’s best bribing tool—chocolate. It was the only think that would keep her attention long enough for me to snap a few shots. If you look closely at the picture below, you can even see some in the teeth of this chocolate consuming toddler. As for Summer, she was contently sleeping in my arms, but quickly turned into a fussy pants whenever I put her down (can you tell she likes to snuggle?) This pattern continued throughout the entire shoot, but luckily I was still able to get a few good photos.

I photographed my sister Brooke’s Etsy shop—The Shappy Shop. Somehow I missed out on the crafty gene seeing how all my sisters are skilled in that area. In fact, a large percentage of my home decorations are actually handmade by them. Brooke is amazinly talented and her shop is incredibly cute. It features a variety of home decor as well as toddler accessories like headband holders, legging, and handmade headbands. From festive banners to hand painted vintage frames—she can do it all (and customize everything from colors to the pattern!)  She will be featuring her awesome products in November at the very popular vintage market—Junk in the Trunk. If you haven’t been you are missing out!  Go check it out when it rolls around!

Below are some of her most recent creations. Check out her trendy shop here!

I also just recently met Michelle Moore and I couldn’t help but fall in love with her adorable bows.

Michelle certainly has a keen skill and talent in making good qualities products. Every infant or toddler will be stylin’ in these festive bows.

I know Brynn and Summer will definitely be spotted sporting them! Check out some of her crafty creations below and if you see something you like (I certainly did) go browse her fabulous shop here!

So excited to be able to photograph these girls cute Etsy creations!  Can’t wait to see what else they have up their sleeve!
