Friday was the Portland workshop. It was a crazy talented group of ladies. One of them even made the crowns for our shoot (wait until you see those!)… yeah- I was on Cloud 9 all day long :) My favorite part of workshops are the connections I make- the common interests, the inspiration & excitement each person brings and having time to just sit & talk about what we love. As I finish up editing the photos from our day, I get to move on to a little break from intense work for the rest of the month and I can’t think of a better day to go out on & savor as I gear up for the new year. Thank you ladies…

Today I am doing a give away from a company that I work with a lot and totally adore… Chooze Shoes. I love working with caring & giving people and that is what Chooze Shoes is entirely based on. They are a Good Returns company which means they put all their profit into charity. I mean come on… cute shoes and you know the money you are spending is going to good? Can’t go wrong :) Not to mention they are super comfy and I haven’t come across a kid yet that doesn’t adore wearing them.
We have the pair above just perfect for your little girl :) Enter below (like & share to get multiple entries!!)
Heather F: I love their shoes and I guess I need to check them out since it is somewhat local for me. These are too big for my girl but they look oh so adorable, good luck to future winners out there and I am bummed about losing the EB dress, I wish it were a bigger size then maybe I could sweet talk the winner into passing it down bwuahahaha but my girl is easing into size 6 now so thats a no go.
