Over the Labor Day weekend – my sister was visiting and we made a morning trip to see our Grandma – or as the littles call her – GGG – triple G!

THAT FACE!

If you need matching leggings with your littles – or your sister – or your mom – make sure to check out my sister’s LuLaRoe inventory!

Sheena has two BEAUTIFUL baby girls – and needed some BEAUTIFUL family pictures to hang in her home!

OH MY DEAR HEART! SHE IS SUCH A SWEET THING!

AND THIS SWEET GIRL!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!

I have to warn you – there are LOTS of pictures in this post – I just could NOT pick!

Sheena is a LuLaRoe consultant! Make sure to join her group on FB to check out her AWESOME inventory!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that shot on the right! MY FAVORITE!

That baby bear – she wanted to ESCAPE!

I CAN’T! SO CUTE!

OH MY HEART!

I LOVE THAT ONE – the real moments – the ones you forget about!

Don’t let her fool you – she was really working to get that little foot out!

Sheena – I had such a GREAT time with you and your girls! I can’t wait to do it again!

LULAROE BY JENNA CLOSE

Filed under: just because,lularoe,portraits — admin at 11:11 am on Friday, May 12, 2017

You’ve seen Jenna and her family on my blog for several years – but this is the first time seeing ONLY her!

Jenna is a LuLaRoe consultant!

WHOA! SERIOUSLY! Jenna is wearing a Julia dress with a Randy tied overtop!

The Amelia dress – WITH POCKETS! It’s one of my FAVORITE pieces!

You can’t tell by looking at the photos – cus Jenna is AWESOME – but it was below freezing the day of our session!

Thankfully the Best Western Grand Victorian Inn let us warm up and use their lobby for a different look!

Jenna is wearing a Maxi skirt with an Irma top!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

And like I told Jenna – when showcasing BEAUTIFUL clothing – I shouldn’t take away the color – but I love these shots in black & white!

GORGEOUS!

A Cassie skirt and a Perfect Tee!

I suggested that we save the best outfit for last – I tend to find that the last set of photos are my favorite – people are relaxed by then and just feel comfortable! Thankfully – we got FANTASTIC shots all throughout the session – but this outfit is certainly my FAVORITE!

This is a Carly dress with a Sarah “cardigan” – SO BEAUTIFUL AND COMFORTABLE!

Again – black & white – color – BOTH AMAZING!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

Make sure to check out Jenna and her inventory out on FACEBOOK – if you missed the link – it’s at the top of this post!

Thank you Jenna! FOR EVERYTHING!

LULAROE WITH SAMANTHA CAAMANO

“A ship in the harbor is safe, but that’s not what ships were built for” – John A. Shedd

When my sister was on-the-fence with the decision to invest in LuLaRoe and become a consultant – I texted her that quote!

It’s scary. It’s exciting. And scary. And overwhelming. And. Scary. Did I mention that?

She did it. She said yes. Make sue to check out her inventory!!

I brought my LLR and she brought her LLR and we took some photos of each other at Thanksgiving!

This is a Lindsay cardigan – which is mine – but I’m giving it to Samm because I’m more of a Sarah girl!

Her top is a Carly and she has leggings underneath!

This is a Julia dress with a Sarah cardigan!

The same Julia dress with the Lindsay cardigan!

The Julia dress can be pulled a little up for a shorter look – or left at it’s original length!

OR – if you need a scarf – the Lindsay!

Samm has on a Lindsay again – a Maxi skirt – and a Classic Tee!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this print – This top is called an Irma! This one is a large – but I can still wear it comfortably!

Samm turned her Maxi skirt into a dress with Lindsay over top!

Leggings and an Irma top with a Sarah cardigan!

If you like a shorter skirt – DONE!

I’m wearing Samm’s Classic Tee and her Cassie skirt – which are larger than the size I would buy for myself – but still look amazing!

Nicole dress with Lindsay as a scarf again! And then as a cardigan!

Nicole with a Mimi! I gave Samm a hard time about the Mimi – I did not love it in pictures – but like most things LuLaRoe – they are much different in person! SO WARM AND COZY!

This top is NOT LLR – but the skirt is an Azure!

With a Sarah cardigan!

Black leggings – Sarah cardigan and the Azure as a top!

This dress is Ana – with a Lindsay cardigan! My favorite LLR items change – but this is one of them!

Red Irma top underneath the Lindsay with black leggings!

This is my Maxi skirt as a skirt and then as a dress! The black top is not a LLR piece.

This dress – another one of my FAVORITE pieces! Amelia! With Lindsay!

POCKETS! NEED I SAY MORE!

Black leggings and a Sarah cardigan! Again – the black top is NOT a LLR item!

I LOVE THIS LOOK ON SAMM!

I borrowed the Sarah from Samm for this outfit with my Maxi! The black top is NOT LLR.

Samm wants to specialize in Mommy & Me leggings eventually! The tops are NOT LLR!

Samm’s top is an Irma!

Lindsay cardigan – Carly top and leggings!

Lindsay as a scarf!

Classic Tee – Cassie skirt and Sarah cardigan!

And Cassie as a top!

Leggings with Julia dress and a Carly on top!

JULIA dress! I love that one too!

Add a Classic over the Julia for an extra POP!

The green cardigan is NOT LLR – but gives you an idea of what you can do with a Sarah!

Samm LOVES her Mimi!

Make sure to join her group on FACEBOOK – the link is at the top of this blog post!

Samm – I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR STEPPING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!

It’s scary and overwhelming and exciting and ALL THE THINGS!!!

Tune in for her ONLINE SALE TONIGHT!!!

 

*C* FAMILY

Filed under: family,just because,kiddos,lularoe,portraits — admin at 4:29 pm on Tuesday, January 31, 2017

Grandparents and their grandchildren – a bond like no other!

Extended family pictures used to intimidate me – but I LOVE them now!

I know it’s cheesy – but just think – because these two people said YES to each other! It’s crazy when you think about it!

I assure you – no fathers were harmed in the making of this photograph!

Jenna and her little crew have been faithful clients for the past – what – FIVE years? Probably longer than that!

Jenna – thank you for asking me to capture your ENTIRE family! We need to get “your” side done soon!!

Also – Jenna is a LULAROE consultant! If you don’t know what LULAROE is – you’ve been warned if you choose to investigate!

Make sure to head on over to FACEBOOK and join her LULAROE group!
