A few weeks ago Ava and I had the chance to work with Lisa, owner and creator of My Sweetpea and Company.  I was so excited when she contacted us because we just love her bows and hats!  She produces some VERY good quality stuff, and Ava was THRILLED to model Lisa’s new product—the bottlecap necklace!  

Please head on over and check her out at http://www.mysweetpeaandcompany.com (sorry, the html code isn’t working tonight!) and let her know that I sent you!  

And some photos just for me…..how did she get to be so big?  Her beauty inside and outside just steals my breath away. ?

What’s better than Friday……. a Giveaway Friday!  Spring has sprung and I am in the mood for something FUN!
Everyone knows I love a good deal and now here is your chance to get in on the action.

So here are the rules:

All you need to do is leave a comment at the bottom of this post.  Then pass on this blog link to at least two of your friends or family. You are welcome to send it to more than two, but only the first two to leave a comment will be eligible for the giveaway. Those two people that you send the link to will then return the love with a comment and acknowledge the person that sent the email in the comment.  You must live within a 30 minute radius of the Lambertville/Toledo area or be willing to make the drive to be eligible for the free session since the session will occur in the area.

Everyone that leaves a comment will then be put in a hat and a name will be drawn. Posting for comments will close next Friday at noon, and a name will be drawn by my daughter and the winners will be announced on Monday, April 6!   The name pulled along with the first two people they sent the email to and left a comment will get a free session.  The free session can include up to five people per family and each family will receive in addition to the free session an 8×10 print.  The session will occur on a weekend day and the date/time slots will be given at a later date.

Oh and what would a post be without some pictures….

I have recently had the privilege of working with Nili of Portland Beanie Company. She makes these FABULOUS hats…they are TDF cute and SOOO well made!  Please head on over to her Etsy Shop and take a look around!

So Happy Friday, and let’s start spreading the love!

Can you believe this weather we are having?  Awesome!!!!  I am so hoping it holds out, these long Michigan winters just seem to dragggggg on and the warmer weather seems to put a bit of pep in everyone’s step!

So, onto the model search. =)

Chixie and Honey is looking for some Newborn Babies.

That’s right, brand new, fresh-into-this-world wee ones.  I need at least one baby GIRL and one baby BOY. They must be less than 2 weeks old, preferably 2-7 days old.  This helps ensure that they stay sleepy and squisy during the session.

What do YOU get out of this?  A FREE session, valued at $100!!!!   You will also get DISCOUNTED print prices! ( In exchange for the free session, you must sign a session contract. )

I have some NEW and DARLING little props perfect for a little prince or princess and I can’t wait to try them out!

I do need to schedule the sessions ASAP! Please contact Tara, at chixieandhoney@hotmail.com to schedule your little one’s session.  Please note that a typical newborn session does take approximately 2-4 hours.

And what’s a post, without some pictures

I will also be putting out a search SOON for older kiddos as well, so be on the lookout!

I just adore working with Jordan from
Georgia Grace
If you follow my blog, you’ll know that she consistently produces the most gorgeous clothing for your little girl, all hand sewn by her with a professional flourish! Jordan did not disappoint once again…

I have been so busy, too busy in fact to even get these pictures posted! 

Here are some pictures from a quickie Christmas Card session I did with my kids….

Our Family Christmas Card………

I hope your holidays were merry and bright! =)

These pants are SOOOO cute! A bit of a patchwork design, these pants can also be lined by Jordan of Georgia Grace Designs for wearing in the colder weather. What an awesome idea! Go check out her Etsy store…you won’t be disappointed!
