Beautiful Miss M. has a contest coming up:

Aren’t these boots the cutest?  She’s so adorable here:

She’s started a dog-walking club with her friends… this is Gracie:

And finally, we moved onto the porch with her violin just as the rain started:

It was so nice to meet you all, have a wonderful 4th!

Finally, I have some news about the Emma Louise contests… I went to deliver the July picture to the store and it was closed.  I tried again later, still closed.  I called the owner and she told me that they have sold the store.  They will be closed for at least a month while they transfer ownership.  I do not know if the new owners will want to continue the contest or not.  So, I have put the July winner up on my website under the contest winner gallery, but there will be no store display.  The August winner has been picked already so they will still have their session and print and I will put their images on my site in August.  But for now, there will not be any more drawings.  Once the busy season is over and I talk to the new owners, I might start the contest again or I may come up with something new! 

I want to thank everyone that has entered in the past, it was fun and so nice to meet all the families and see their excitement at winning…

And I have my computer set back up again and after a little head banging, back to normal.

Some news:

1 – The May child for the Emma Louise contest has been chosen and I will contact the family tomorrow. The rest of the families will be entered for June, that winner will be chosen April 30, if you weren’t in the May drawing, email me and I will sign you up for June. Don’t forget the drawings will be the end of each month now to allow more time to get the sessions scheduled in as I am “thisclose” to being fully booked until July.

2 – I am catching back up on sessions and email. I should be back on schedule with proofs and responded to all my emails tomorrow. If you are waiting for something from me please let me know!

3 – This has been in the works for a while, but I wanted to share with you all now that I have started ordering the displays… I am completely redecorating the Associates for Women’s Health lobby and all other rooms. Check out their web site: http://www.associnwomenshealth.com/
They are a wonderful group of midwives and an OB in Sylvania…I know there were several of my past babies that were delivered by this group

4 – I know I had a 4 and now have forgotten… I suppose I can talk about the weather! Thank goodness for this warmth and sun, yeah!!

5 – Oh yeah, I am “thisclose” to being fully booked until July. Contact me soon before I close sessions to newborns only.

6 – That reminds me about the maternity special, I’ve had questions from the moms who have booked so far. Your maternity and newborn sessions can be any time the rest of the year, you just need to contact me before April 30.

IF you read that all, thank you!! Pictures again tomorrow yeah!

The new Emma Louise store is open!! Still in Levis Commons, closer to the main strip, right near Fiddlestix if you know where that is. I went in today to deliver the contest winner picture and I just ADORE the new look! I will have to get the name of the talented lady that painted the designs on the walls… you have to go in and see. And I was excited when I saw some of the new things they’re selling, more gift items. The cutest rain jackets and matching boots which I will have to get for some fun puddle splashing sessions! Spring will be here soon!

And check out the new contest winner gallery on my site and don’t forget to enter for next month!

I will have some new pictures tomorrow!
