I couldn’t even wait long enough to remove the fold creases when theses came in… had to drag my daughter down to the studio for some test shots. WOWZERS!!! How cool are these?
Left to right: Red Buttons, French Blue, Industrial Rust
I intentionally chose similar poses to highlight what a difference a back drop change makes.
WOW! Where has the time gone? I can hardly believe that February is more than half over, and as hard as it is to believe considering we are expecting even more snow today… spring WILL be here very very soon. And then graduation and summer and college and and and!
For our family, the “and” includes a move to the west coast. We are excited to be moving to the Whidbey Island, Washington area, but also sad to leave Fredericksburg, which has been our home for the past five years. So if you’ve been waiting to have your senior pictures done when the spring flowers and weather have arrived – NOW is the time to book your session. I’ve created a calendar showing which dates will be best for spring sessions. Please note that being green, does NOT mean the date is still available, just that these are the dates that I am still WORKING, in Virginia.
Notice that May 1st is the LAST day that I will be SHOOTING… this way I can be sure to have your images processed, printed and delivered before I depart. Of course, should the house not sell in a timely manner and I expect to be here longer, I will amend this calendar – but as of right now… this is IT! All sessions will be booked, first come – first served. So get your calendar, and call today to book your session. 540-207-1404
Oh, and if you want snow pics – I’m booking now too… the green is just when the flowers SHOULD be starting to show their pretty faces and the trees will start to green.

OK blog readers, I know you’re there! My statcounter tells me so! But still not commenting? Don’t know if I’m boring you (it’s ok, you can tell me that too!), you’re shy or maybe even your keyboards are broken. So just a reminder for those interested in a free 5×7 print from my etsy shoppe, comments on this blog count too! *click the link if you are feeling a bit lost*
But for the young whippersnappers (I don’t actually think you are whippersnappers, I just love that word!) reading – a special offer just for you! I’m feeling very needy so, if you help me grow my facebook fan base, you’ll be entered to win these adorable poppy hair clips that I highlighted yesterday.
Here’s what you need to do… Become a fan of willowdawn photography on facebook. Really. It’s that simple. But to know that you’ve become a fan, I will need you do come back and leave a comment with your name (be sure it matches your facebook name so I know who is who) and telling me you are a fan. It’s as simple as that! Invite your friends to become fans as well. The more the merrier. And for the guys reading, I’m looking for something cool for you… just still looking.

Oh and I’ll be drawing the name to win the hair pins on February 14th…
I’m a fan on Facebook and think Poppy hair clips will suit me !!!!!
Good thing I wasn’t drinking anything or you would be buying me a new keyboard! I literally LOLed. You’ll look smashing with the hair pins!
I’m a fan =)
Whew! I was thinking Simon was going to have some explaining to do when he showed up to a wedding wearing the hair pins!!! Now there a bit of competition. )
they will look lovely with my sunflower eyes… please, send them to NY!
I’m a fan! I love the hair clips!!
Are the actual clips removable and maybe interchangeable with some sort of adhesive strips perhaps? 
Um, should you win, you do what ever you wish with them, lol. Just don’t show/tell me!
Beautiful photos, beautiful. Do you have any ocean photos? Beach? Oh, and I’m a fan. :p
See you found your way over! YES, I’ll be listing a beach/sunset photo tomorrow or the next day… (can’t remember what size(s) I ordered!
Prom will be here before you know it! I’ve been scouring Etsy.com for wonderful accessories for the upcoming prom season. If you don’t know what Etsy is, I HIGHLY recommend checking it out! Bajillions of handmade items that you buy from the person who actually makes them! And because they are handmade, the likelihood of another girl showing up wearing the same accessories or dress – well, is pretty slim. So if you like to be unique, stand out from the crowd and have your own personal style – definitely head over to Etsy and poke around. Scarves, mittens, t-shirts, jewelry, bags, belts, lip balm and body lotions! You name it, you’ll find it one Etsy. Anyway, I digress! Prom! Imagine walking into your prom wearing this dress!
I can pretty much guarantee NO other girl will be wearing one like it! Seriously, how incredibly awesome is this dress?? Check it and others like it (including some shorter lengths and different colours) out at Glamarita’s Etsy Shop!
OK, so the tie dress is little too avant garde for your tastes and you prefer a more traditional look, no worries. While you may have purchase your dress from a more traditional retailer, Etsy still has tons of beautiful accessories to go with your more traditional gown. Lovely head bands like this one from dashley designs.
Or these lovely hair pins – also from dashley designs…
And if you spend hours pouring over the Urban Outfitters catalogs, here’s a shop that is perfect for you. Check out the vintage styled feather fascinators from It’s the Little Things – again, no one else will have your accessories when you get something handmade!
Each of these shops are filled with wonderful handmade treasures and there are thousands more jewels to be discovered on Etsy… so come Friday, when the snow starts falling and you’re stuck indoors – surf over to Etsy and see if you can’t find THE perfect accessories for your Prom. Oh, I almost forgot – Etsy sells VINTAGE items too – so be sure to browse around the vintage section – you are sure to find some funky and fun items there!
