My Beautiful 3 Year Old–and GIVEAWAY–{Memphis, TN~ Custom Portraits}

Posted on February 21, 2011

***THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED***

I cannot believe that Naomi is already 3!  She is growing up and growing more beautiful every day.

She is all girl… and all tom-boy.  She is full of laughter…

… and decreasing amounts of shyness.

Naomi looks like me and has her daddy’s personality.  She is our girl.  And we wouldn’t trade her for anything.

***GIVEAWAY***

Last year for Naomi’s birthday I was looking on-line for a cute hat for her 2 year portraits.  After scouring www.etsy.com for HOURS, I came across HeartSmiles.  The owner, Abbie, and I communicated back and forth and came up with this hat:

We enjoyed working together, so she sent me some more hats!

Naomi loves wearing her hats from HeartSmiles!  I love that she looks cute without me having to do her hair!

These hats aren’t just for cold weather, either.  The “Boho” style was perfect this summer!

But there were other summer looks as well!  Headbands, patriotic, and then the custom hats we had made to go with clothes from Gymboree when our family who lives in Europe were here for a visit:

See… the boys don’t get left out either!

And if this wasn’t enough variety for you, HeartSmiles has even more in the store!  AND, you can customize the hats with colors and number of flowers.

We love our HeartSmiles hats here in this house.  Naomi even talks about “Ms. Abbie” by name. ;)

So here’s the great GIVEAWAY:

You can win your choice of HeartSmiles creation PLUS a 20% discount on a d’Lifeful Photography Lift Art photo session AND PACKAGE!

How? (you ask)

Visit HeartSmiles shop on etsy, pick out your favorite product (or what you would customize) and come back HERE (on the blog, not facebook) and leave a comment.

Refer people to this contest too!  If I get more than 50 comments, then I will up the percentage off to 30%.  If I get more than 100 comments here on the blog, I will give away 2 discounted photo sessions!

(All winners will be chosen by Random.org)

Contest begins today and ends in 2 weeks (March 7).

Good Luck, and … GO!





The Gillespie Clan {Memphis, TN~Family Portraits}

Posted on October 11, 2010

Way back at the beginning of the year I held a facebook contest.  The deal was, whoever got the most friends to “like” d’Lifeful Photography won a free family session and a $50 print credit.

April Emerson referred 46! people.  Her plan all along was to have this family session with her parents, her brother and his family, and her family over the Christmas holiday when they were here from Togo.

Well… plans changed and we were able to do the session this fall.

Rhodes College is a BEAUTIFUL campus here in Memphis and provided the perfect backdrop for our session.

3 adventurous little boys kept me hopping, but we got some great shots.

Enjoy the preview!

(the couple that started all this) ;)

The whole clan…

April got 47 people to “like” my photography.  IM-PRESS-IVE!

See what being a “fan” can get you? :)   Stop by on facebook and join the party!

The Spellings Family–Memphis, TN–Family Portraits

Posted on February 20, 2010

So I realized that I was suffering from “winter blues” (this was before Naomi’s hat arrived) and wondered how to push them away. Immediately I decided to host a give-away on my facebook fan page. The first person who could schedule a photo session for THIS WEEKEND got a FREE PHOTO SESSION. (See… it pays to be a fan of D’Lifeful Photography.)

Ainsley was quick to respond, and today, we met up at Shelby Farms to get some great photos of her lovely family.

Enjoy the Sneak Peak.

The Westbrook Family**Family Portraiture, Searcy, AR**

Posted on November 2, 2009

Back in August, the Westbrook family entered and won my free photo session with a $50 print credit. And today they cashed in on it. :)

We were running around trying to catch the light before it disappeared on us. This time change thing is taking all the evening light and giving it to the afternoon. :)

But I managed to capture a few smiles.

Here’s the sneak preview:
