Look Who Got Her First Hair Cut! | St. Louis Children’s Photographer

Yep! My lil’ Lily got her first hair cut last night. I came home from a girl’s gathering with friends and when I came home, my daughter’s hair had been trimmed up by my loving husband. We had big plans to go to a salon for the big event, but Lily wanted nothing to do with it. I have to admit, I’m a bit sad that I missed the first hair cut, but my husband and daughter were so proud and happy to surprise me, so it’s not so bad. I’m actually happy that my husband had this moment with our daughter as I know he’s missed a lot of firsts. Makes me fall in love with him even further picturing him with scissors trimming Lily’s hair with precision and care. What a great moment they had and hey…at least he saved the hair for me. Tear.

Help Someone in Need this Holiday Season!

At the beginning of the month I wrote about a charity that I’m involved in called “Giving is Awesome” and I’m writing again asking for your help.

We all know someone who’s struggling and deserves some beautiful portraits that they’ll cherish for years to come. Well, here’s your chance to give them an amazing gift this year with complimentary custom photography valued at $1,000. Whether it’s canvas or albums, prints for Grandma, or a music video to watch over and over, it’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season. If the person you nominate wins, you’ll receive $250 print credit to use with Yvonne Niemann Photography as well!

All you have to do is email me at info@yvonneniemannphotography.com and tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

I’ll announce the winner on Christmas Eve,  so that’s only one week left to get your stories to me. So far I haven’t received any nominations, so please share their story with me. I’d hate for this prize go to waste when so many are in need.

My good friend is the author of Modern*Simplicity blog and she recently asked me if she could ask me a few questions for her readers. Of course I was thrilled to be a featured guest and therefore partook in the Q&A where I shared some insight on being a working mom as well as a few photography tips. Read full interview here.
