Wow…. I haven’t blogged in forever!
This years mini’s I took a different approach. Instead of the parent walking in going wow! I wanted that reaction from the child! I want when they walk to the set to be overwhelmed with excitement. Its gonna be things they think are cool! ( especially the Up up and away & Candy land). Im very excited and ready for the dates to approach!
Below are mini session dates If your interested in booking and would like pricing details please Fill out the ” Lets Talk” form on this blog or email Chantena@gmail.com With Mini- Sessions in your subject line.

Soo We have totally had a lazy Sunday. Didn’t get up till noon, threw some clothes on and had some breakfast at Waffle House yummy! We have a hard time getting Milan to eat well, but today was awesome she ate a ton! So we told her since she ate so well she could get a toy. She loves going to the Dollar Tree and so do I lol. U better believe if Ive been to your birthday party and a balloon was tied on the package, it came from the Dollar Tree haha. Its the best place for Balloons; I mean a mylar balloon filled with helium for $1 love it! Anyways back to my story, She love the Dollar Tree because she gets to pick a few things instead of just one like when we go to Wal-Mart. Well she was picking her things and Jeremy was like ” Chantena Look”! I was like what? He showed me the Plastic Balloon toy, I know if you are between ages 23-33 you remember playing with this! I felt like a kid again when I seen it, we bought the last 2 packs! It was soo fun when we came back home to show Milan something I use to play with when I was a kid! We totally had a blast, blowing them up and tossing them around till itpopped or she decided to squish it haha. BTW, it totally smells the same, I had forgotten that smell till I opened it!
I really Love stumbling across nostalgic toys and creating new memories with Milan. Dollar Tree I heart you today

I’m beyond ready for spring to arrive, don’t get me wrong Ilove the bundled up outdoor look too. I’m just soo ready for the warm, green, colorful, & bright time of year to arrive. I want to smell grass being cut, get a tan, put on a tank top & sunglasses, then ride around with the windows down and music blasting. Did I mention I’m soooo ready, for spring?!? lol I have lots of Colorfulthings up my sleeve for Spring/Summer 2011. For everyone out there preggo, I have some great stuff coming up for you too, so keep an eye out.
On another exciting note, If you know me you know I loveeee me some Matilda Jane. Like LOVEeeeeee just in case u didn’t get it the first time. So Back in December they had this contest called Photo LOVE. The way it works is, if you a photog you send in a pic and out of all the entries they pic 50. The 50 ppl the pic they send a dress to ( and your listed on the photographer link on the Matilda Jane Site) and you have till a certain day to photograph that dress and send the best image them. Then they narrow it down a few time to the very best image and the persons image they pic get to go to the Fall shoot for Matilda Jane woop woop!…….Sooooo Out of almost 1000 photographer entries I was one of the 59 that they picked to send a dress to! Yay. I’m beyond excited, My head is spinning with ideas. I just can’t wait to see the dress, so I can finalize the vision hehe. I’m beyond flattered to even be chosen, I mean holy crap out of 1000 I was one of 59! I’m not bragging I’m just in shock! Ill keep everyone posted on the status of the contest, and if I make it though the next round there may be an awesome contest in store for u guys! So ill leave u with a photo today, a photo from a warmer day.
Ps. Im having a Matilda Jane show Feb1st from 6-8 email me Chantena@gmail.com If u would like to come.

Wow, Look at these pretty babies!!! These two were such cuties and super fun to hang out with for the day
I really had a blast with these two and Can’t wait to see them again at Christmas time!
Now, for their cute matching outfits. Their wonderful clothing came from The Trendy Baby Boutique. This is a great site to get clothing for your children to Coordinate together for photo sessions. Her clothing is great, Milan has a few of her outfits. Ever time she wears them out we get stopped asking where she got that cute outfits or dress
I think her store is especially great for parents with boys and girls. Its always hard to coordinate outfits to go together when you have children of different ages and sexes. She can make the cutest stuff that matches with out being all Matchy-Matchy. I love it! So if you want to check out her stuff just got to my links tab on the top bar and click Trendy Baby Boutique and it will take you to her etsy store. If you want to check out some of her recent stuff you can also go to her facebook by clicking HERE.
