Jordan, from Georgia Grace Designs is offering $50 to her shop! She actually found my blog because I had posted a photo of one of her tie-knot dresses in my post about what to wear. She sells these adorable dresses in her Etsy Shop and also has a Facebook fan page where she posts sneak peeks of new lines, sales and discounts.  Jordan has also offered a discount to all of my lovely readers! Just convo her through Etsy and use the code “rialee”  to receive 15% off your order through Thursday. (Not to worry, if you are the big winner Jordan will refund the $50 to you.)  Just leave a comment on this post to enter. The winner will be announced on Thursday, April 1st. Good luck!

My daughter Kennedy and her friend Kenzie modeled for us at the workshop. People who bring their kids in to model always ask me what they should wear, and I always respond by saying it doesn’t really matter… they are just there for learning purposes and don’t have to be dressed like they are going to be in a magazine. Well, it turns out when it is YOUR kid, it kinda does matter. And I WAS worrying about what she was going to wear. All of these items were things we already had… a skirt from the GAP that I got last summer on clearance for $6, a shirt from big sister’s closet, t-shirt from Target (also last summer) and flats from Walmart. Tah-Dah!

I love that girl…

Also… have I ever mentioned my addiction to etsy.com? Look what the mailman brought me today…. Can’t wait to use them!

One more thing… I recently added a bunch of new links to the “links” tab at the top of the blog… so make sure to check them out!

So… you have a spring session coming up and don’t have a clue what the kids SHOULD wear? Well, lucky for you, I’ve also put together a collection of clothing “DO’s”. These items can be found at places like mini-boden, gap kids, crewcuts, old navy, and etsy.com.

And this dress… ahhhhh this lovely sunny perfectly yellow dress! I have fallen head-over-heals in love with this dress.

How much do I love this dress? How much am I dying to photograph a little girl on a glowy summer evening wearing this very dress? I love it so much that I am going to offer a FREE children’s session to the first person that gives me proof that they have purchased this dress (and have a child to go along with it) and wish to have said child photographed in said dress. Yep. I LOVE that dress.

You can find it at crewcuts, J.Crew’s kids clothing line, or just click here and order away!

My absolute favorite choice for children is J.Crew’s line, “crewcuts”.

Other favorites of mine…

Mini-Boden for babies and kids

Target.com has a brand called “Infant Morfs” that has the cutest tees for babies and toddlers…

Fawn+Forest for super-cool modern and organic children’s clothing…

And… I found the most adorable onsies, diaper covers and dresses on etsy.com from Vintage Lucy’s.

Happy Shopping!
