A Sneak Peek Into Lil Sweet Pea Photography ~ Detroit Children's Photography, Detroit Newborn Photography http://lilsweetpeaphotography.com/blog Previews and behind the scene peek into Lil Sweet Pea Photography.

E would not smile, or let go of dad’s hand.  But after pulling out some of my silliness I managed to get this…….

Getting closer with a smile :)   After some teddy grahams and some juice we really started to warm up!

Notice, no parent hand or body parts in the photo.  We were on a roll!   By the time our session was ending, E was smiling, laughing, jumping, running, giving me high-fives and posing.  I had a blast at our session!  It was great to meet you E :)

As if I didn’t get enough fill of B and his family, Maddie started dance lessons with B’s mom this fall.  Yup, I get to see “Ms. Melissa” every Monday night.  In fact, Maddie was upset when I wouldn’t let her come with to “Ms. Melissa’s photo session”.

This session is always a favorite.  And I always look forward to it every year!  Till next fall…..errrr, I mean Monday.

 

Now for this last photo, I was cracking up laughing as were B’s parents when he sprung this pose on us.  I feel like I need to put his name and graduation year in the corner for him to pass these out at school!

If you haven’t been stalking Denise’s site like I have, you may not have known that the first release of Field Trip is online.  There will actually be two releases this fall.  And I fell in love with BOTH of them.  That said, I decided to book a secondary trunk show for th 2nd release, and switch my 1st release trunk show to a virtual.

Is your head spinning?  What these means is my in home show for August 13th is now cancelled.  In it’s place I will now be hosting a “virtual” opening day show!  Which means no worries about sell outs!  All you have to do is send our wonderful trunk keeper Alison an email or drop her a call between now and Friday (August 6th) at 11am, and you’re set!  So email me or comment below if you need her information!

My 2nd release show will be held at my house on September 3rd from 4-7pm.  Email me or comment below for more info ;)    And just as a teaser, some more MJ eye candy!

I will be hosting a trunk show at my house w/ the wonderful Alison on August 13th from 4-7pm.  If you are interested please drop me an email, amy@lilsweetpeaphotography.com for more information and my address.  The new line, Field Trip, looks AWESOME!

This little girl is the famous baby girl in the red bucket on my website and business cards!  Where has the time gone?
