DONELLE!!

Email me and I will get you the info you need!

Thank you to everyone for being patient while I disappeared for a while. It has been a crazy while for us! We sold our house (HIP HIP HOORAY). The only catch was that we don’t leave for Michigan for another month. So…we packed all of our earthly possessions up and moved them into TWO storage units and are now living across the street from our house at my grandma’s. Kinda crazy. To add to the craziness, my daughter hasn’t fallen asleep until around 10pm over here (we put our kids down at 7pm!) so it has made working a little tricky. She is up and down like a yo-yo (any tricks you may have are WELCOME!) Oh, and I no longer have my nanny since we are at my grandma’s. So, it is taking a little time to make the transition. Hoping to be back for the next month until we start on the big move. I am nervous, excited and trying to make the best of my last month at “home”!

Banner Boutique Giveaway!!-Southern Utah Photographer

Posted on June 9, 2010

I have talked about this and finally have my act together and am doing it. I found the Banner Boutique over a year ago and have been in LOVE ever since. I have a crazy number of hair accessories for my business and my daughter, but once I saw Lindsay’s flowers, I will never buy another flower elsewhere. Her flowers are so high quality, unique and absolutely gorgeous. She finishes them off so well too. Seriously…check them out. Buy some. They are amazing!!

So, on that note, Lindsay, at Banner Boutique has been kind enough to giveaway a $25 gift certificate to her etsy store. Is it sad that I am sort of jealous that I can’t enter my own contest? Before we get to how to enter, though, I want to briefly introduce you to Lindsay…

1. Tell us a little about yourself.
I have been happily married for 7 years and have a 5 year old daughter, 3 year old son, and 3 month old baby girl. I am a southern CA girl and miss it dearly, but am embracing my new desert home in AZ.

2. When did you start your business?
The idea was probably born when I was five…but the actual Banner Boutique started about 4 years ago doing only wholesale to upscale boutiques. We have since expanded to do online sales.

3. How did you get into making flowers?
When I had my first baby, Kaitlyn, I searched high and low for cute hair accessories-they were always hard to find and way overpriced. When I did finally find them, they were never quite “right” as far as style…so I started making my own.

4. What is the favorite product you offer?
It changes day to day–they are like my children, I love them all! However, I would have to say “The Audrey” is my current obsession.

5. Anything else we should know about you?
I adore crafty, beautiful things! Nothing makes me more happy than to see a gorgeous baby with a gorgeous hair piece to top her off…it’s like the icing on the cake. NO ONE can resist coming up to a darling baby with a flower on her head!! NO ONE!!

So, go check out her etsy store (linked above) and her blog. Then, come on back and leave a comment telling me how awesome her hair accessories are and which is your favorite. Remember…most of the headbands can be on clips too, so they are great for all ages.

Here are a few recent pictures that I did with her flowers. Thanks, Val for letting me use your adorable baby for these shots. Seriously, folks, check out the hair on this baby!!

and thanks to my great friend, Lisa, for having such a cute daughter to model off my new purple clip!

Feel free to scroll back through old posts and see more of her excellent work! My Litttle Miss is modeling a few of her hair accessories in the last sesssion I did with her in the black pettiskirt!!

And the winner is…

Hi there!

Posted on April 14, 2010

Remember me…that photographer girl who used to post on her blog?? Well, life has overcome me and I have had to let go of a few things. Even my poor camera has been on vacation. I picked it up for the first time in quite some time yesterday. Boy, that felt good. And theraputic!

So, here I am again. I hope to post more frequently. The house is *almost* ready to go on the market…minus one little room…my office. I put it off to the end because it is the biggest mess E.V.E.R. Seriously. I can’t even sit all the way on my desk chair because it is covered in “stuff”. Tomorrow is office transformation day though. I can’t wait.

So, to celebrate almost being done with then never ending “get the house on the market” cleaning I am going to give away a copy of a GREAT book I just read. I know many have read it, and if so, and you win, I will send you the second in the series or another that I love.

So, to enter…

1. leave me some blog love…in the form of a comment.

2. blog about the contest on your blog and leave me a comment in my comments.

3. become my facebook fan (search for Stacia Shaw Photography) and leave me a comment letting me know you did.

4. or, if you are already a fan, leave on comment on my facebook page and leave me a comment here letting me know you did.

There…three chances to win. Let the contest begin!

oh, and check back often…I have some other great giveaways coming up!

and the winner of the Target gift card is…

Posted on January 15, 2010

okay, okay…so I am embarrassed that I am (insert nervous cough) 5 days late on announcing the winner of my Target gift card. I don’t really have a good excuse except that I am a mom and sometimes am overcome by mom brain and that I have spent all my free time this week sewing and creating.  So, without further ado, the winner is:

#9-Chelsey! Hooray for you! Email me your address and I will get it sent out this next week. Thank you to all who participated. Keep checking back for another contest in the coming weeks!!

A Little Contest!! (St. George Photographer)

Posted on December 30, 2009

Well, I promised it and here it is, the first of my new blog contests.

I {heart} Target. I mean, seriously. When I have a bad day, I want to go to Target. When I am bored, I want to go to Target. There is always something to find and see that I want and need (or don’t really need, but convince myself that I do). I can spend far too much time perusing the aisles for laundry soap, photo props, candy, cd’s, dishes, clothing. You name it, they have it.

So, I thought a Target gift card for $25 would be a very fitting first contest. Here is what you need to do:

!. Subscribe to my blog…there is a button right at the top of the blog. Just click it, enter your info and you will be notified when I update my blog!
2. Leave me a comment telling me that you subscribed.
3. If you want to enter again, link my blog on your blog and leave another comment telling me you did that as well as a link to your blog.

Let the fun begin!!
