Amanda Basteen Photography | Going Green & Born2Impress

I apologize for my lack of blogging.  We had a big ice storm the last couple of days and it knocked out my internet access.  That’s okay because we got to spend a much needed day with my husband here!  He works 2 jobs as well so our life is so busy right now.  It was nice to just have him home relaxing and playing with the kids for a whole day!

Only 10 days left of my Christmas Giveaway contest!  See this post for details:

NEWS: I have put in orders for a couple awesome sample albums to show at my wedding meetings.  I now offer a Millers Layflat Album in my package OR a $500.00 credit toward an AWESOME Finao One flush-mount album.  I can’t wait to get them and I will be posting photos of them as soon as they arrive!  The Millers album should arrive within the next couple of days but the Finao album will be in a few weeks. It’s worth the wait though!

Also, I have been working on new packaging and working toward going green!  I think it’s important to do.  All of my new packaging will not only look awesome, but be completely eco-friendly with all recycled or 100% natural products.  I am waiting for everything to arrive and I will make a post with photos of that as well.  I can’t wait! 🙂

In my spare time (what little I do have) I partner with 3 separate boutiques all specializing in different things.  One of my new boutiques I partner with is www.Born2Impress.com.  She sells a lot of different things, but mostly pretty hair clips and flower headbands!  So I got some product photos completed yesterday.  I started out with Lilia and she wasn’t having it because she is sick once again (she can’t catch a break!  poor baby! 🙁 ).  I got a couple cute of her looking down in the purple headband, but then she threw a fit so I did the other ones on a pair of twins I watch in my daycare (Addy & Evy).  They are all just adorable! 🙂

Here are Lilia’s:
