A new princess, a new project.

 So my close friends and relatives know that craftiness runs deep within my family.  My mom sews, my sister sews, my other sister is the queen of scrapbooking and all sorts of crafty goodness.  I've got a closet full of craft potential, but I have honed in on one in particular: baby props.  There's just something about tiny things that I can't get enough of. I recently had the great opportunity to try out a few of my latest props on a brand new little princess. What do you think?

Boudoir Marathon...Not your average photo shoot

You are making your lists and checking them twice...Why not take care of an extra holiday while you're at it? We have scheduled an amazing deal just in time for Valentine's Day! Why so early? Because these times are filling up fast! Ruby Firinne Photography and I, Giles Smiles Photography, have meshed our mental magic to create a once in a lifetime (or at least once a year) event.

We also have the pleasure of offering hair and makeup on location for an amazing price.  Contact me at GilesSmilesPhoto@yahoo.com for more details.

Giveaway!!

I'm not sure what I was thinking planning a giveaway in between a month long vacation and the holidays, but I've finally made it!! This is going to be great if everyone pays close attention...Did you lean in? Go ahead, it helps.  Ok, now that I've got your full, undivided attention, this is how it will go. Because of the local nature of many of the giveaway prizes, we request only those who live in San Diego enter, so that they can receive the full benefit of all of the prizes.  Below is listed a number of prizes that will be given to one lucky person right in time for the holidays. You must leave a separate comment below for each item that you complete, as each will give you a separate entry.  I will leave this giveaway open for one week.  I will draw one winner on November 22nd.  There are several ways that you can earn an entry into this giveaway, so here goes:

1. I can't technically require you to like all of the vendor's Facebook pages...But all of us would REALLY appreciate it if you did.
