I hope you’re ready to see some of the most adorable little people!  I’m loving all of the submissions for our first ever Cutest Baby & Child Contest!  There’s still one more week to submit your photo of your favorite little cuties in your life and then the voting will begin!

Scroll down to get the full details about how you can join in our contest to win a prize package worth over $900!!

We’ve been SUPER busy at our household moving into a new house, so I apologize for the lack of blog posts lately.  I’ve got a TON of fun sessions lined up for March and I can’t wait to share the images from those.  But in the meantime, I thought it would be fun to hold another contest to spice up the action on the blog!  This is our biggest contest EVER and our first Cutest Baby & Child Contest!!

What will we be giving away?  We’re going to actually have TWO awesome prizes for this contest!

First Prize ($900 value): 

  • Free Mini Session up to 30 mins either on location or at the studio
  • Disk of 10  images from your session with a print release
  • 2 5×7 prints

Second Prize: 

  • $200 Gift Certificate to be used on any future session or prints with us.

Here’s how our Cutest Baby & Kid contest will work and how you can enter:

  • Send ONE favorite photo of your child(ren), any past or current photo will do, anytime between today (March 2nd) and Tuesday, March 16th to our email amy@tentinytoesphoto.com  **If you have mulitple children, you can either submit a photo of them together, or separately, but you can only vote on one photo per day (they can all be a part of the mini session, even if entered separately).
    • Please add the following information to your submission email…(this information WILL NOT be included in the postings of your pictures! This is just information for us to use to contact you if you win and to send you special deals on your child(rens) birthdays!)
  • Parents Name(s)

  • We’ll have two methods of voting each day
    1. The first will be here on the blog, where we’ll upload the photos with an assigned number and voting poll within the post and you and your friends and family can vote once each day. 
    2. The second way will be on our Facebook Fan Page, where you can vote once a day by commenting on the photo of your choice.  Your comment can be as simple as “This is my vote!”. 
  • Send EVERYONE you know to our Facebook page and blog to vote! 
  • Voting will begin on Wednesday, March 17th and will run through the 24th, so that gives you a full WEEK to get everyone voting for your cutie!

So, start sending your photos!  I can’t wait to see all of your adorable little ones faces!

I’m sure I’m not the only one that is SO sick of Winter already.  It’s always this time of year that I think we all start getting spring fever!  Warmer days (aka – 40 degrees!) begin to appear and the snow slowly starts to melt.  It won’t be long before those little crocus flowers are peeking through the last little bit of snow. 

March is already upon us and with that, our calendar has been filling up quickly with Spring sessions!  So, if you are hoping to get a session scheduled in the next couple of months, you’ll want to act quickly!  We only have one opening left in March and two openings left in April!  We’re also taking bookings in May and June now as well.

Worried about the weather?  No reason to worry now as we now have indoor, natural light studio space at my home in Rosemount.  Of course, we will prefer to stay on location for most of our sessons, but it’s a nice alternative in case the weather is an issue.

Of course since no post is complete without a photo, here’s a recent one of some snowflakes that were on my car window one morning. :-)

Prepare yourself for the cuteness!  There’s nothing I love more than a sweet little girl to get all dressed up and girly.  I LOVE these kinds of sessions where we bust out fun props and backdrops.  Sweet Miss A’s family contacted me to have a 9 month session for their little peanut and she was as cute as could be!

She had the most gorgeous sparkly blue eyes.

And we had SO much fun with her in the tutu!

I just couldn’t resist her adorable little toes.  This is one of my favorite shots.

And I love that mom and dad wanted to do some shots in her room with her favorite book.

And we braved the outdoors in one of the snowiest winters I can remember in a LONG time and took a few outside.  She had the most adorable little fur coat and matching boots!

Wow…you guys are going to LOVE these!  One of my new product offerings for 2010 are these stunning Custom Image Boxes.  These photos just do NOT do them justice, you have GOT to see them in person to appreciate their true beauty.  They are part of our new Meadowood Lane Collection offering (and can be purchased as an add on to your a la carte order) and are an awesome choice for when you want to get all of the images from your session.

They come with a 5×7 print of each of the proofs from your session (or you can just purchase the box) and are custom designed to be a one of a kind heirloom for your family.  Seriously, these things are amazing and I’m so excited to be able to offer them to my clients now!

Happy New Year everyone!!  2009 was a wonderful year for us and we are SO excited for 2010!  I have a lot of exciting things that I would like to implement this year and one of those is a new referral program!

Did you notice the new look to the blog?  I’m SUPER excited with how it turned out and think Nancy Lary of Monkey Tails did an awesome job!  What you think?

And now onto our other exciting news!  You guys are the number one way that we find new clients, from your wonderful word of mouth.  And since we appreciate you and telling your friends and family about your experiences with us, we want to reward you for that!

So, we’re excited to announce our new referral program!  For those of you that have been referring people to us for the last few months, fear not!  We’ve been keeping track of those for you and you will be able to redeem your referral credits as outlined below as well. :-)

I can’t think of a more precious gift to have right before Christmas than a new baby.  The {S} family welcomed baby A into their home just over a week ago and I got to photograph him when he was just 6 wee days old.  He was wonderfully adorable, with his strawberry blonde hair and his bluish eyes.  He also was a fabulous little model for us and gave us some fun little poses to capture.

Mom & Dad were up for just about anything I thew there way, so we used some fun new props.  We couldn’t pass up at least one Christmas photo too being he was born so close to Christmas.  :-)

Thank you SO much for allowing me to capture your new addition.  He’s absolutely perfect!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

I have been counting down the days until I got to photograph this little guy.  He’s the new baby of one of my bestest friends from high school and he’s about as cute as they come.  Remember this beautiful mommy?  Well, her wait is over and little {J} couldn’t be more perfect.  He was just nine days old yesterday when we had his session and he was a rock star for us and slept right through without making a peep the entire time.

M & D, I had such a wonderful time meeting and photographing your little man.  D, here’s the baseball one especially for you.  Love you guys!
