Professionals Do It Best!

I've been taking pictures of my Monkey C Baby creations since it's inception in 2008. I used my humble little point and shoot digital camera, and didn't even take it off 'auto' for the first year or so. Then I started to get braver and smarter and more creative- I began trying to set up my pictures without the 'auto' button on the camera and I learned about lighting and cropping and scenery. I also tried some editing here and there in Photoshop to help enrich some of the colors in my photos. It helped... a little. But, if I'm honest, I was still way off the mark, plus most of the time I didn't have a model. A model always helps.

Well, I've finally learned to do it the right way... find fabulous professional photographers! My super talented friends have come to the rescue.

Meet Erika here.

See her amazing work...

Now stop drooling at the handsome little boy and dreaming about giving his tummy raspberries. What do you think of the hat and diaper cover I created for him? What do you think of Erika's amazing photograph? Yup. We make an awesome team... although only Erika can take credit for that adorable baby :)

Meet Amanda Marie here.

See her amazing work...

I know. This picture makes me want to have ten more babies- and I just had one! What do you think of the precious little flower headband and diaper cover? It'll be in my Etsy shop soon. What do you think of Amanda's talented work? Yuppers. Another great team!

You can see more photos with more of my creations on Amanda Marie's Facebook page- here. It's totally worth checking out!

I am so thankful to these women for sharing their talents with me. They have seriously made me !!!!extatic!!!! and I can't wait to work with them again.... or do their laundry... or watch their kids... or scrub their floors. I owe them big time!

Drum roll please....

My two hands have been busy at work with knitting needles and crochet hooks. I have new items in my etsy shop and more on the way. I'm so excited to show you some of my new designs- they are in the hands of professional photographers and babies as we speak... well, as I type. hehe... So, I will leave it to them to share the real photographs, but for now, I'll leave you with one picture I took. This sweet hat and diaper cover duo have been very popular!

Newsboy Cap and Diaper Cover. Made with a wool blend yarn and buttons created from recycled materials.

Up next... the sweetest headband/necklace/bracelet you've ever seen... curious what I mean? I have to leave you hanging, but I'll try and post photos tomorrow or next week, whichever works out. xoxo.
