New Backdrops & Sister's

...it can't get better than that,

new backdrops and four adorable sister's!

These girls were wonderful, as I flew through my new backdrops.

I was so excited to see how they would photograph, and I'm beyond thrilled.  

Let me tell you just how happy I am that I discovered 

LemonDrop Stop: Backdrops and Floordrops,

though it is slightly dangerous that they are located just down the road from me, 

I have no problem ordering one here, and one there, cause shipping is not an issue

AND every order comes with a super duper yummy lemon drop

(I'm currently restricted from any further purchases, j/k)

Oh, and their customer service is #1, no kidding, I've never seen better!

honestly, I've lost count...I think I have 20 or so of these 

awesome, AWESOME backdrops.

In addition to this addiction, I've also discovered

Addielynn's Bowtique and Nellie Bugs Tutus & More

both of these lady's are incredibly talented

(making hand-created accessories for all occasions)

and they couldn't be sweeter or kinder.

Check out their pages and some of the photography I've done for them.

anyway, back to my new backdrops and these fun sisters...

 I fell in love with this backdrop, as soon as LemonDrop Stop released it, 

and now I'm waiting on a custom made headband, 

from Addielynn's Bowtique to go along with it!

I'd actually LOVE it, if you wanted to take a look at their website

www.lemondropstop.com

and let me know what you like (I order the PolyPaper drops)

so I may add to my wish list.

thanks again girls, it was so much fun!

I've recently relaunched www.CrystalLeePhotos.com

(which continues to be a work in progress)

and I'm asking all those that have had a photo-session with me

to take just a moment and leave some feedback on my

Guestbook/Testimonials page.

I feel that this is such a good way for anyone looking for a photographer

to get a feel of what they should expect out of a session with me.

...and by the way, later in the week I plan on giving away a sweet little treat

from Addielynn's Bowtique, if you help me out.

Happy Monday!

...and happy 8th birthday to my son Austin

him and his friends celebrating over the weekend!

Just recently I had a photo session with Karen.

We focused on her son's 6 month photos,

but also did some product photography

Here is that cute 6 month old,

he was such a happy baby

and here he is just a few weeks old. 

It's fun photographing the same baby

as they reach each milestone

Rebecca's Norwex

I have met so many wonderful Independent Consultants for several different companies.

I love hearing/learning about different products.

Norwex really has some amazing products.

I love that you can clean, using their enviro cloth, with only water.

I've also heard how wonderful their hair turban is, dries hair fast!

Oh, and that toothbrush is amazing.

Red Wagon Kids

I had so much fun working with Marcy,

owner of Red Wagon Kids. 

She is so talented. 

 I photographed about 9 pieces of her work

...let me just say AWESOME!

Here are a few of the bloomers she made,

and I'm in LOVE.

The following has got to be my favorite,

my baby girl seriously needs a pair!

I placed a custom order with Red Wagon Kids, and I can NOT wait to photograph my kids, the boys have matching white T's with a Tie applique and that same fabric is incorporated in my girls' matching dresses, they are ADORABLE!

....you know what...I'll give you a sneak peak,

I haven't officially photographed them yet,

 but I did snap a photo. 

Hold on, one more bloomer to share first.

Ok, here they are

...aww, I can just picture my four kiddos in these,

can't wait for summer!

Love them! THANK YOU Marcy
