A New Place to Shop

I had the cutest little girl come into the studio the week before I went on vacation! Her name is Alivia and she's adorable! She has the best expressions...and you know I'm a sucker for eyes...look at those eyes:)




Alivia's mom told be about the coolest website. It's www.etsy.com and they sell everything handmade. They have really cute clothes, handbags, jewelry, etc. My favorite two places to look are Lemons & Lollies and Lulaballou(in the purse section). They have the cutest purses! Here's a couple samples of things.


Have fun looking!

Relaxation!

I just got back last night from a week up north and it was great! My husband Tim and I have not had time off together since our honeymoon over 3 years ago.
We went up north to Boyne City where my parents have a vacation home. For the first couple days, we just sat out on the patio and looked out at the water and listened to the trees as they moved in the wind. Just what I needed!
Even our dog got a vacation! We played fetch and took him swimming every chance we got! He was a tired dog at the end of each day! As we say "a tired dog is a good dog."

We also made it out to Sleeping Bear Dunes for a very very long walk. It was great exercise, but really tiring. At one point, we stopped and looked around and almost felt like we were in the middle of a desert. Water anyone?



After we finally made it back to civilization, we went to Traverse City and made our way to our favorite spot by the water. We found a great shade tree and took a little nap.


For Memorial Day weekend, we went to Mackinaw Island with family and friends. We go every year and spend time biking and sitting on the porch of the Windamere.

Now, I am home and ready to take on the crazy summer!
:)

So Hip!

We had a little Rock Star at the studio today! She's also decked out in Matilda Jane clothes! She should be their top model..hint hint. Check out their clothes at www.matildajaneclothing.com They have such cute stuff!
Anyway, here are a couple images from Addison's session! She's a natural!





So now I'm going to say fairwell for a week. I am taking a much needed little vacation and will be back after Memorial day weekend!
Have a great weekend!

We have another blog

Yes, that's right...I'm nuts. Like one Blog isn't enough, we have just added a SENIOR Blog. The new blog is going to be all about Seniors..high school seniors that is! Go have a look... www.canfieldjenkins2.blogspot.com

It's my party and...

there's no need to cry! :) I was telling my friend Jess Challa that turning 30 wasn't that bad, but for some reason 31 is whole different ball game. It feels so much different for some reason and I'm not sure why. But, I'm going to celebrate with the family and eat cake for the 2nd time today and not worry about all the calories!
I'll worry about that tomorrow!

Happy Mother's Day Weekend!

I hope that all the Mom's out there have a great Mother's Day weekend!
Thank you for all you do, all you sacrifice and all your love!

Using that teaching degree!

We just had our first In Studio All Day Seminar for photographers last Monday and with the Kid's Contest going on I haven't had time to talk about it.
From 9 to 5, we had about 10 photographers from all over Michigan come hang out with us! The thing that I love about teaching is that I learn so much! When we have photographers at our studio it's usually more collaborating than just us teaching.

Well, I hope that everyone that attended had as much fun as I did! We will definitely be hosting this again sometime soon!

Thanks everyone!
