Family Pictures- Ciara Richardson Photography

Back in June I entered a contest to win a Free photo session

But this was not just any photo session this was with the 

amazing Ciara Richardson 

She had a contest that you submit a picture and 

who ever gets the most likes on their picture on facebook
won a Free session with her

I was so excited 

Seriously I wanted it so bad

I loved her style of photography

but since we are in school and poor 

this was my only chance to get them 

And lets say when I want some thing bad I am competitive

I got on and asked every single one of my facebook friends to vote,

I asked family to vote, I asked on my blog for my readers to vote

and I even text some of my friends to like it and vote

and all of that time and effort I spent getting a hold of everyone paid off 

and I totally won 

And its a good thing cuz I was a crazy stress case the whole week 

it was going on. I just wanted it to be over 

And luckily It had a happy ending for me

Ciara contacted me told me I won and we scheduled a time to do them

We did it on July 19th

And it was a beautiful day

It rained for a sec but it made for amazing lighting 

We did two different outfits a vintage dressy look and a 

bright colored fun casual look

And the only thing I bought was Ty's blue shirt and my necklace 

Here they are:

Maddux will always rub his eyes when he is sleepy

It is adorable

 I am so glad she was able to capture real moments like this

Love

There is never a dull moment since Maddux entered our lives 

Doesn't this just make your heart go to goo?!
