if you know me, you know i LOVE babies. obsessed, really.
now that i am starting to realize my snuggling my own little newborn baby days are long gone, i always swoon when i know family or friends have been blessed by a new little one. you know i am the first one to want to cuddle that sweet baby! and no, i don’t share. :)
so lucky me, when we went to st. louis for a wedding, i had my very own 10+pounds of sweetness to cuddle with and photograph.

i can’t stop talking about what i did today. we had our very own family photo shoot! never done that before, i must say, it is very different being on the other side of the lens.
but the most exciting part is who i hired to do it. deb schwedhelm.
i can’t say enough about what an amazing experience it was, or what a beautiful, loving, talent woman she is.
if you ever have a chance to have her take your portraits (she is moving to tampa, florida but does travel, y’all!) you wouldn’t regret it.
here i am plugging another photographer on my blog! ha! that is how amazing she is.

any way. enough about me. check out these two little cuties!
my first twins and boy are they sweet!

By now you have probably read this post on my blog. If not, clicky on over there, man.
The other day I kinda thought it would be fun to have a contest. Then, I was cleaning out a junk drawer and found a $25 gift card to Canvas On Demand. Now, I have been needing to order new canvas of my little chickens, but I just haven’t had the time to find the perfect picture. And, I am in a rut.
SO.
I give you, a contest. Go out and shoot. Shoot until your brain hurts. Edit a little different, try new things!
Do something you have never done before. Try the golden hour, shooting in full sun or shooting at 7am!
Whatever your little heart desires. Just break out. Break out of your normal every day stuff.

Email me your pictures by 10pm EST tomorrow, June 12. rachael@goodytwoshoesphotography.com. I am not giving you a topic, because, well, I couldn’t think of one. I am just looking for something that pushes the limit. Something that is different from what you normally do, but still has YOU in it. I will be looking at your blog and or website.
I will pick the top 5-10 pictures that I love, then I will have a public voting in comment form on my blog.
Easy and fun!
Try and shoot something that you would use that $25 gift card to Canvas on Demand for.
ANY one can enter. :) Have fun and don’t hurt yourself.

Oh, and here is a picture because I can’t stand to blog with out one. I give you, my two youngest brothers.

This is my man, my guy, my bestest boyfriend, Tommy.
We had a mini-date night, watched Olivia and ate popcorn. Don’t tell his sisters.

Here is my one picture from today. Well, yesterday. I am 30 minutes late.

I love it. The sun was setting and she was trying to reach out and grab all light coming through the window.
she also has ET fingers. :)

Are you challenging yourself to break out of your normal and be a little different? Maybe I should have a contest….

If I have learned one thing from my job, it is go with the flow. Babies will cry. Toddlers will hate you. Cakes will go un-smashed :) . If you sit, wait and maybe play, you will get those smiles you came for.

Little Ms. K is one of my all time favorite babies! I met her at 5 weeks old (see this blog post here ) and feel in love.
She is hands down the sweetest and happiest little thing, and look at those cheeks!

The age old question that most people as is what should they wear to their family session. I have done a post like this before, but I thought I should briefly revisit it.
Brown and black are super popular right now, so most of my choices are those colors. But don’t be afraid to put some bright colors into the mix. Blue heels or a bright red scarf! Get interesting!
All of these items are all from Banana Republic, Gap and Old Navy. If a specific item catches your eye, ask me about it and I will let you know where I found it.
I didn’t add any in these pictures, but Target has some SUPER cute dresses for toddler girls right now for $10. I snagged both my girls some, even though my oldest has been out of 5T for awhile. The dresses were longer and can work for older girls.
These are ideal for family sessions. Baby sessions I can blog about later. I love bright colors for babies.
If you ever have any questions about what to wear, don’t hesitate to ask. I am a recovering shopping addict! Ah, semi-recovering, haha.
