this sweet, little mimi bird hopped into my life a few years back. when my little girl started talking, she called everything "mimi." she chirped "mimi" all the time. and, from that time on, we called her our little mimi bird. during this time, i was at a local boutique and stumbled upon the most fitting little piece of art. on the picture was a very sweet, chunky, little bird and the title was "mimi bird." i of course had to have it...it seemed as if it was made for us and still hangs in our home today. my very own little mimi bird, grace, who is my older baby, is the one who made me fall in love with the camera. and, it is this little bird that will be a constant reminder of the inspiration that makes me so very happy when taking photographs.

oh my….you will see, beautiful, beautiful sweet ones.  i attended the Baby As Art newborn workshop this past week-end in san diego. it was a-m-a-z-i-n-g.  if you have not heard of baby as art, you must take a moment to go peek at their stunning baby photography.  http://babyasart.com/ carrie and brittany were such wonderful mentors…so sweet, and approachable.  and, so humble with their talent.  i am in constant awe of what they do…God given talent.  they recently photographed PINK and her new baby girl…awesome.  we played and practiced and learned SO much and i met a great group of photographers from around the world that i know i will remain in contact with for years to come.  below are a few of my favorites…

i am so so very excited to show you my new natural light studio…i have searched and searched for the perfect little spot…i am in love with it!   it is a wonderful little space with the most beautiful natural light.  and, it is convenient and safe for my clients.  i will still be photographing mainly on-location, but i have been searching for the perfect space to photograph newborns and babies…it will also be perfect in the winter months when we cannot be outside. i am sharing the studio with one other photographer and will be in the studio a few days a week.

i hope to have many more fun events in the future…concept shoots which will be mini sessions.  for example, a valentine’s day session or Christmas themed session.  these sessions will be shorter in length, but provide my clients with a fun experience that is different than a normal photography session.  watch my facebook page and this blog for details!

i hope to see you there soon!  xoxo eydie
