Vintage Stylized Children's Shoot May 2013

 With the help of some amazing vendors and Amber Carl of Amber Carl Photography, I was able to collaborate this beautiful vintage children's shoot!  We met up at the Grove Bible Church in Chandler, AZ, which is a beautiful location.  Amber and I had our own kids model as well as the adorable Mahki Campbell.  Thanks for a fun shoot, everyone was so great to work with!!  Hope to do this again in the near future! Please make sure to see the full list of vendors at the bottom of this post....

Abby and the Dress

Here is another one of my dress designs for sale in my Etsy shop (jmarket.etsy.com).  My sweet Abby was a good little model, and the lighting was amazing last night!  We had a fun time together, and I love to follow her lead.  She loves to explore when we're outside, so I let her do her thing, and I loved how these turned out! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my other business....

I have always loved everything about photography, and have loved learning and growing more over this past year as I started up my own photography business. 

 

Before I started into this journey of photography, I have been running two Etsy.com shops for the past five years.  I love anything to do with interior design as well as cute clothing, which inspired what I sell on Etsy.  You can find my designs at:  jillybeancraft.etsy.com as well as jmarket.etsy.com.  One shop features decorative pillows, and the other shop focuses more on little girls clothing and accessories.  Some days, I feel like I'm running a sweat shop (as I hand make everything you see), and it gets tiring!  But, I have been so lucky to have success with my small business.

 

I have really been wanting to design new little girls dresses for my Etsy shop, and with this past Easter we just celebrated, I decided to make my three daughters a dress this year.  They are great sports to wear my creations; they may look back one day and hate me for making them wear my designs :)  oh well! 

 

They were also great to allow me to take their pictures, which I will always treasure.  I love the two businesses I have because they both allow me to stay home with my beautiful daughters, which is so important to me. 

 

Below are some images I took for my Etsy shops, and I will treasure these images for years to come...
