Tracy Joy | Custom NW Illinois Newborn, Baby & Family Photography

I get this question on a regular basis…

“Where do you buy those cute clothes for your kids?”

And I’m always happy to share… as it’s no big secret… no lil quaint shops for me… it’s just finding a great deal, and looking where others might OVERlook…

My new fav this this week… these lil tutus/pettiskirts.. from… TARGET!

CLICK HERE to see them… $9.99 and worth every lil penny!

Uber darling, not too big and fluffy (like my prop tutus), and still frilly enough for lil girls to go “gaga” over!

Another fav of mine… The GAP…. and these ridiculous lil beanie hats… $16.99 peeps… hurry and scoop yours, I did!
CLICK HERE to see them at the Gap

and my last tid bit for finding uber cute things for your babes w/o breaking the bank.. never… EVER overlook the clearance section.
My fav clearance racks…
Von Maur, Macys, the Gap, Gymboree, Janie & Jack…
I could go on, and on, and on,
and………..

How about this lil darling?! haha

He’s my nieces newest “addition”… a Chihuahua and Dachshund mix… cute lil dude, ha?

When he came to visit.. we just HAD to do some “newborn” shots of him lol He’s a baby too!

The time to book is NOW

This fall season, I will only be booking 1 client per week… and the dates are already being gulped up!

August and September are fully booked, but there are still a few slots open for October and November… so if your looking for some beautiful family portraits (for the holidays!), then contact me to book your session as soon as possible. 

Session dates are first come first “serviced”… so if you have a date in mind, it’s important to book while they are available.

TALK TO YOU SOON!
Enjoy your day… they fly by too fast

Hello Mommies (and daddies) of “future bundles of JOY”!

If you’re expecting a newborn in 2010, and anticipating the excitement and beauty of newborn portraits, book your NEWBORN sessions now… session slots are filling up quickly (into October!), so it’s best to schedule your newborn session now, than not have a session available when your precious newborn is here.

HOW TO BOOK WHEN YOUR PREGNANT?
Well that’s the #1 question!
And it’s easy… book your newborn session for the week you are due.  IE: Due date Oct 2nd, book your session for October 5th.  

Most babies come a few days early, so booking your session a few days after your date will assure you get those beautiful newborn portraits while your newborn is still… well, newborn!  You’ll be surprised to see the difference in a 10 day old newborn, compared to an 8 or 12 old baby… it’s huge!  So prepare to capture the newborn innocence and quiet while they are officially in that “newborn stage”.

Of course, any questions.. JUST ASK! I’m always happy to answer!

So lets recap.. if your expeting a new bundle of JOY (love that word, lol), in 2010, than book your newborn sessions now!  Sessions are filling up, and extra “slots” wont be offered once they are booked.

HAPPY AUGUST EVERYONE! Fall is just around the corner, so enjoy the heat and humidity (we’ll be complaining about the snow before we know it, lol).

for a lovely family…

Happy 1st birthday lil {A}

and after a long day… who can beat a good cry out! haha   She’s sooo sweet!

how much I love this location?

From a baby, to a fabulously fun family of 10… it’s always perfect!
