Featured: Itsy Bitsy Boutique [North Liberty, IA Children's Boutique]

Some of you have already seen my announcement on Facebook, but I am so thrilled to share that 6 of my children's portraits (ok, one of them is just of Einstein but he's kind of like a kid - at least to me!) are on display at a new children's boutique in North Liberty called Itsy Bitsy Boutique! It's located in the North Liberty Plaza (next to Cinnamon Sun and in the same plaza as Revisit) and if you have little ones, or need to buy a great baby gift, you MUST check it out. It's incredibly cute, as you can see from the photos below, and Kelly & Nic are so, so kind. They have a ton of locally made items, but also do children's consignment - so if you have children's clothing in great condition you should stop by and consign with them! All of the details can be found on the Itsy Bitsy Boutique website HERE.

Be sure to also check them out on Facebook, Twitter, and visit Kelly's blog.

When you first walk in, you might be greeted by Nic and Kelly's dog Wrigley. He's such a sweetie, just look at that face...

I was in the shop on Saturday to take these photos and Kelly had some of these candles burning. The store smelled AMAZING. In fact, I am going back this week to buy one of the lilac ones so my house can smell just as good. :)

National Puppy Day!

To be honest, I didn't even know there was a National Puppy Day until I saw it on Boo's (World's Cutest Dog...*however, I beg to differ*) Facebook status. Why do I follow a dog on Facebook you ask? Well someone has to keep eyes on the competition (and Einstein hasn't really mastered the internet, or a keyboard - no thumbs)!

So, to celebrate National Puppy Day, I thought it was only appropriate to post a new photo of Einstein. Hope you guys are having a great Friday, have a fabulous weekend!

Melissa + Dave [North Liberty Maternity Photography]

Melissa and Dave's session took place on one of the most gorgeous March days I can remember, and lucky for me they were up for changing their originally scheduled indoor shoot to outdoors. We met at Kent Park and had a wonderful session, soaking up the beautiful sunset.

Not only are these two gorgeous on the outside, but on the inside as well. They are expecting their first child in late April, and I'm thrilled to be photographing the little one once he or she arrives! Honestly, this has to be one of my favorite sessions, Melissa looks AMAZING (seriously, I hope I look half as good if I ever have children!) and I love, love, LOVE the way they look at each other. I have so many favorites that it was incredibly difficult to narrow these down for the blog.

Melissa and Dave - thank you so much for allowing me to document this exciting time in your lives. I am so excited to meet your new addition! I hope you like the sneak peek...

They brought their two little pups, Kauai and Lila (hopefully I spelled those right!) - such sweeties!
