WINNING.........

And the time has finally come to announce the winners of the Spring Into Summer Giveaway. I am so excited! Just so that you know, the first 4 comments on the blog post were ineligible because they were posted prior to the start time of the giveaway. All in all, we had a total of 57 posts. I used random.org to generate the winning entries based on that number. I attempted to post a photo of the winning number, but every time I tried, it froze my computer. Sorry! I promise the winners are legit! Congrats to ALL of the winners! I hope you enjoy your prizes.

***Please note: If you have won an item, you will be responsible for contacting the vendor to redeem your prizes. I have included the vendors names and email addresses so that you can get in touch.***

Drum roll please...

Bridal Bash {Fort Lauderdale Event Photography}

My dear friend, Nicole, is getting married on July 1...cliffside...in Italy...on the Amalfi Coast. You can be jealous now! I know I am! I got to attend her bridal shower at Shooters in Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday and had a blast! Here are a few of the photos I wanted to share. Nicole, you can breath easy. I left out the pictures of the unmentionables you received! lol ;)

Doesn't she look like she belongs at the Kentucky Derby, or at a royal wedding perhaps?

The party favor I made...Grazie!

Another Favor By Yours Truly

Sweet Story: Nicole gave the picture on the left to her mother to show her what kind of veil she wanted to wear on her wedding day. Her mother took the photos and had the veil on the right made out of her wedding dress with real pearls and Swarovski crystals...Nicole's something "old". There is also a tiny blue bow sewn on the inside...so creative!

Nicole...I Love you, Girl! I hope you have a blast gallivanting around Europe prior to your big day. I was serious when I said I wanted to go in your suitcase. I think I can fit if I drop a few pounds!!

Seriously though, I hope you have the wedding of your dreams. We will be thinking about you guys and praying that your wedding day is everything that you've hoped for and deserve! XOXO

A Latte Fun Birthday {Wellington Children's Photography}

I had the honor of working with the crew at A Latte Fun in Wellington over the weekend for this little guys' 3rd birthday. This place is too cool....indoor playground for the kids, chic coffee shop for the adults...that's a WIN in my book. I have some photos to coming soon so that you can see what I'm carrying on about. I had a blast and the party was a huge success!

Thanks to Keely Burton of A Latte Fun and to the A Family for allowing me to be a part of this special day!!

P.S. Don't You LOVE the new watermark from Pixel Skye Designs??? Jann did a great job. you can check her work out HERE. And she's one of the vendors in the Spring Into Summer Giveaway...just sayin'!

***Spring Into Summer Giveaway With Angel Kisses Photography***

So many of my wonderful friends and family have wholeheartedly supported my new photography venture and have trusted me with the most important moments in their lives. I have worked with the most amazing clients who keep returning to Angel Kisses Photography time and time again to capture their little ones. I am grateful, humbled and honored and feel like the luckiest girl in the world! I have also developed relationships with other photographers and business owners who have made this job so much more fun than I ever imagined it could be.

{Vendor Highlight} Molded Moments & Angel Kisses Photography Boutique

So, these are my very last vendor highlights for the giveaway! It's been a lot of planning and organizing, but I have really enjoyed working with the fabulous vendors and getting to know their products. YOU ARE ALL SO WONDERFUL and I am so excited to spread the word and get this giveaway started!!! Thank you for participating...it's gonna be super fun!

The first share in this post comes from ME! I started making headbands and tutus just out of a sheer need to do something girly! I have two boys (4 and almost 2) and they are ALL BOY...let me tell ya! Also, for some reason, at the time I was photographing all boys. So I really needed an outlet, that did not involve dirt or sweat. After having a conversation with my husband, he suggested that I start making headbands and bows that little girls can wear to support their Daddy's football team. As much as I wanted to make frilly, little, girly things, it made a lot of sense. Most of our friends have little girls and they are always complaining about not having cute sports related things for them to wear. So, for the giveaway, I am sharing a custom made football themed headband (see below). The winner can choose the team and colors and any additional ad-ons to make it one of a kind!

Stop by the Angel Kisses Photography Website, Facebook Fan Page and Etsy Store and Enjoy!

{Vendor Highlight} FotoTale Designs

As a photographer (and not a graphic designer), I depend on the incredibly gifted people that design templates for holiday cards, birth announcements and so much more. Sarah Jimenez is one of those Ladies! She runs FotoTale Designs, which specializes in modern photo templates for photographers. They are here to save you time, money and work! And TRUST ME...they certainly do!

I love Sarah's use of color and clean modern styles mixed with a little shabby chic in there! There are so many options to choose from and I am sure there is something special for everyone is this store.

FotoTale Design has offered to share a $25 Gift Certificate to their store for one lucky winner!

Please take a minute and browse the FotoTale Designs Website and Blog, and then head on over to the Facebook Fan Page and show Sarah some Link Love!
