For the grown-ups, we offer fun photo purses, bags and jewelry. These all make great holiday gifts, but remember they are custom, so order early!

So Excited!

by Becky

I just love getting “fun” mail and packages! I just received the package with all of our new window display photographs and couldn’t wait to rip it open to see them. The kids all look great! 🙂 There were so many cute kids that it was hard to narrow down the choices. I wish we had more room to display even more! Luckily, the website display has enough space and we can showcase more of the kids. I can’t wait to redo the windows! Hopefully we will have a very busy weekend and can get it all done! 

Almost Time to Say Good-bye to the Baby Window Display

by Becky

I can’t believe how fast the summer is flying by. With hot air balloon and Persian wedding ceremonies, a falling bride and groom (there were rumors of a YouTube video in the works) and lots of children’s portraits, July is a blur. Now we have August here and school starting within a few weeks- our oldest starts back in only two!


We are very excited to create our new window display, but that also means that we have to say good-bye to all the adorable babies that are in the current window display. We have enjoyed this display so much and have heard so many nice comments about the cute newborns. If you haven’t seen it yet, please come by soon, before it’s gone!

We will keep you posted as to when the new one goes up- there will be some excited children to see themselves highlighted in the windows!

I am very excited about this and am looking forward to seeing all the adorable kids!
