Photographers and Consignment Sales

These past couple of weeks have been rather uneventful as we have not had any doctor's appointments or classes at Kaiser.  But don't you worry they start back up next week so there will be a lot to blog about!  In the meantime, I have been working on finding a local photographer to take maternity and newborn pictures for us.  After doing some extensive internet searching it quickly became apparent that photographers are not cheap!  I am beginning to think I should get in on that business, unfortunately photography is not a skill that I possess.  Maybe one day...

Thanks to my good friend Shelby, I believe we have finally found our photographer.  Her pictures are great and you can't beat her price!  Not to mention she will be providing us with a CD of our images with full printing rights so we can share with you, our friends and family.  I have come to realize that this is something that is hard to come by without a hefty price tag.  We have scheduled our maternity session for Saturday, March 26th and I am so excited.  We are planning to take pictures in outdoor/park settings around the Rocklin area; fingers crossed it doesn't rain.  I have been using other photographers websites to get inspiration and ideas for our photos.  I am anxious to see how they will turn out and look forward to sharing them with you all.

We will also be using the same photographer for our newborn photos of Baby Stepp.  Once she is born we will contact her and have pictures taken within the first 10 days of her life.  During that period of time you can put them into pretty much any position as long as they are asleep.  I have come across some precious newborn pictures on the internet and can't wait for Baby Stepp to have hers done.  This weekend I purchased an adorable knit beanie for her to wear during her photo shoot.  Dunebuggy is going to be a little model, let's just hope she will be more photogenic than her parents.

Until then, I am looking forward to attending the Just Between Friends Consignment Sale this Thursday night with Shelby.  The sale is in downtown Sacramento at the Convention Center.  The sale doesn't technically start until Friday but there is a pre-sale open to new moms this Thursday, lucky me!  I have already gone a little overboard with the baby clothes so I will have to try to be good but I am sure there will be some awesome deals to be had on other baby items.  I will report back later this week about any treasures we find!
