My husband has been working so hard to build this wood set and I think it's amazing!!! For the mini sessions you'll have a choice of three different looks: this vintage gold sofa with burlap banner and poms, my aqua velvet sofa with a multicolored vintage hankie banner, or my new vintage orange sofa with a vintage doily banner. You can find all the details on the mini sessions, as well as booking information on my <a href="http://sierrastudiosphotography.blogspot.com/p/availability.html">availability page</a>.<br />

I even visited my childhood home and elementary school. Ahhh, memories!<br />
<br />
But the main reason for my excusion was to attend an amazing vintage sale, and boy did I score some great stuff! I also made it to a few antique markets in the area as well. Here's a peek at only a few of the <em>many</em> amazing finds from my trip. I'm so excited to start using these treasures in some photo shoots!<br />

Such a sweet couple, cute dog... and the dress! I am seriously loving this dress! And here is a little peek at the pinwheels I mentioned on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Sierra-Studios-Photography/154993417880665">Facebook</a>. My husband and I actually made <em>fourteen</em> of them. That's a lot of cutting! But totally worth it. I'm looking forward to using them in some future sessions as well.<br />

What's even more, I love their story...<br /><br />In the beginning, there was a mother with teen and preteen daughters. While on a shopping trip, she was made keenly aware of what beauty products were available to purchase. She was shocked at the explicit and suggestive names found on numerous brands of lip gloss. She didn’t feel it was appropriate for her 13 year old daughter to put such messaging in her pocket, let alone on her lips. The mother went home with no lip gloss, but with a strong desire to make a difference. After collaborating with her friends, an idea was born to create a lip gloss that would support a positive message, not only for her girls but for women everywhere.<br /><br />Enter What’s Your Virtue?, a company founded by three friends who believe beauty starts from within. We want to remind all women of the simple and virtuous things in life. What better place to start than on your lips?<br /><br /><img src="http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll8/sierra052877/Sierra%20Studios%20Blog/WhatsYourVirtue1.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll8/sierra052877/Sierra%20Studios%20Blog/WhatsYourVirtue2.jpg" />Jessica Downeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15535963370808495659noreply@blogger.com6
