Fairy Special Coming

This years Fairy Special is Feb 17 & 18. I just finished designing and sewing the new Fairy dresses. Still working on headpieces and accessories. I'm really looking forward to seeing my designs on the girls. We still have a few appointments left if you're interested. I have outfits from Teens to sitting up babies. Call us soon. This special is very popular.

Goodbye 2011

Goodbye 2011, hello 2012. That was a fast year. I'm finding as I get older, time flys faster. Doesn't seem to be fair, "such is life" as my father use to say. I actually am looking forward to a new year. I haven't made any resolutions because why? They're just too hard to keep. Why set myself up for failure. What I have decided is that this year will be a year of creativity. I'm hoping to amaze myself, which isn't easy. We are our own worst critics after all. I just might go back to Paris or maybe a trip to Italy. Italy is on my bucket list. I want to make a difference in someone's life, not sure how, but I have my eyes and heart open. Okay, blah, blah, blah, I know....Here's what's coming at Cita. Fairy Special in Feb. The new fairy outfits are designed, the materials bought and ready to be sewn. The background has been chosen along with the props. You're going to "love" this years Fairy Special. We are offering discounts on select wall portraits and much more. Need to get sewing. Wait 'till you see the colors. Excited! Check Facebook for a sneak peak. Oh, forgot, this year there will be 2 dates and 2 backgrounds to choose from. Watch facebook for details.
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and wishing you a blessed new year. deb

Memories of Christmas Past

Oh my gosh..... I look at these past Christmas cards of my sweet grandchildren and feel so blessed and thankful that I captured these memories. It seems like just yesterday they were both babies. Reminds me that I need to slow down and enjoy this wonderful life I've been given. I cherish every image I've ever captured.

Just some thoughts...

Does it seem like your life is flying by. I remember when I was in high school. It seemed like forever till the weekend, not now. We are all so busy that we're missing what's important. I know first hand because I don't spend enough time enjoying my family. My grand kids are 9 yrs and 3 yrs. I just don't know where these years went. At least I am photographing them so I remember the many changes that have taken place in their lives. I was thinking the other day my father's been gone for 18 years. I look at his picture and can not believe I've lived these last 18 years without him. He was my sounding board when I got an idea about a new background or needed inspiration. I miss him so much, It's been 2 years the end of this month since I lost my mom. Before we all knew she was sick, Ron and I went to Florida for a visit. I didn't understand why she was so adamant about my taking her picture. She got up at 6 am so we could photograph her in the sweet light on her beach in Bonita Springs. I'm so glad my sisters and I have these images of our parents. I know how hectic life can be, especially since owning and running my own business. I guess I'm rambling on because so many of us are not taking the time. Where would we be without our friends and families? I'm so thankful I have my husband, my daughter, my grandkids, my sisters and my friends. Life is good but it's flying by. Just some thoughts....

In the sewing mood ...

Well as promised I'm trying to post more often. This is a job unto itself. Life has settled down a little bit, thankfully. Now I can concentrate on getting ready for Fall and Winter sessions.
Lately I've been in the sewing mood. What with my Fairy Special coming up in February I've decided to design a new Fairy Line. The Sea Foam TuTu in the images attached is the beginning of this new line. Currently I'm working on a bright blue creation. I'll post images as soon as I'm done. With the new clothing design comes new head pieces to match. Please comment and let me know what you think.

Babies Babies Babies

I absolutely love photographing babies. Check out these 2 sweet ones I was blessed to be able to capture a moment of. I love my job!
