Fall Princesses have been in short supply for the past two years due to the weather and late leaf changing. It got too cold before the leaves changed last year to shoot any. I think this year is going to be fantastic for some burgundy, copper and gold princesses, so I don’t want to miss out!

Girls that are 3t, 4t or 5t, all sessions at the Botanical Gardens.

I’ve got something in mind that I need to play with and practice on before I break it out for real, soooo I need some people! The only hint I can give is that they will have something to do with snowflakes.

Thursday the 22nd between 10am and 2pm, I need some kids who are sitting to under 18 years and can sit still-ish for about 15 minutes at a time. I just need to borrow your kids for about 15-20 minutes, you’ll get a few images on CD or emailed just for coming in, but I need to know who is coming in, so please call  me at 706.338.4414 or email heather@stylizedportraiture.com to set up your spot.

I think I’ve reached that time in my life when I have to either start working off the extra weight or just keep getting bigger and bigger. I’ve reluctantly decided to start working out with my BFF, doing Pilates three times a week. ::sigh:: I don’t want to. I know it’s just plain going to hurt for a while. All that ick to get rid of a little belly flab.

In that vein, today’s manic monday is all about wellness. Today’s special giveaway is a trip to see Pat at Full Bloom here in Athens for a Yoga Class! Pick one of the four below:

Prenatal Yoga - breathe and strengthen the core muscles of birth. Release tension and ease common discomforts. Practice meditations and visualizations for labor. Thursdays – 6 PM.

Yoga Sprouts - fun, playful yoga for children two to six years old. Build strength and flexibility; enhance relaxation and confidence. Wednesdays – 3:30 PM.

Mama-Baby Yoga - for new mothers and babies (6 weeks old to pre-crawling.) Practice relaxation techniques, move and stretch with your baby, learn postures that can improve digestion and reduce fussiness. Enjoy bonding with your baby and connecting with other women. Fridays – 10:30 AM.

Yoga for Everyone - for all levels and for men and women. These yoga classes will challenge you with strength building and cardio as well as provide deep stretching. Sundays – 9:00 AM

How to win: email heather@stylizedportraiture.com and tell me what helps you work out! Anything to make it easier on me! I’ll pick a name later on today!

Evette! While the first time Ella pulled 5 names out of the hat, I had to have her redraw. I think she thought that she was puling out a handful of candy LOL!
