Isn't she just too precious? She's all grown up now! I have really enjoyed getting to know Miss Naomi over the past year. She is a ham as you can see. Her mama brought this adorable tutu and Naomi put her personal touch on the posing! Thank you Naomi for letting me be a part of watching you grow up....That's one of my favorite aspects of My Baby Plan ...because I get to see them grow and crawl and sit up and walk and scare their parents!LOL
Enjoy and big smiles,
Yvette
And the crowd favorite is...........Image #2. Congratulations Kristen Oktar!!!! You are the mommy-to-be that will receive the Giveaway Collection valued at $240. We thank all the mommies...babies...and daddies that helped each in their own way!LOL Thank you also to everyone who voted...We had a fun vote counting party...where we counted, and counted, and counted....and counted... (I made Angelo keep track!)LOL Don't forget there is a special offer coming out soon to all who voted. Look for it in your email.
The beautiful portraits of these mommies-to-be are what we at Gioia Photography consider to be, truly memories in art. Our goal was to create a gorgeous portrait that would be both an exquisite art piece for the home as well as a sweet memory for the little babies who were soon to join their families. If that wasn't enough, we decided to give back to the community by giving one of the mommies a gift collection of prints valued at $240. The mommy who is choosen will receive a collection consisting of: (1) 11x14, (1) 8x10 and (1) 5x7. This is where you come in, vote for your favorite image and help the girls out! Now originally we had more mommies scheduled to participate...but as babies have their own schedules....some of our mommies delivered their sweet miracles before their maternity portrait appointments! The good news is that allows us to show two images for each of the mommies for you to pick from. Here is how to vote. *Click on

These little precious girls have been coming to visit our studio since the oldest was a baby...I love their joy. Last few times, we have been working to capture the bond between the girls and mom...and we finally did it! I love these images...even the tears...
Wendy and Jacob are the cutest couple...even if they are mom and son. LOL He knows a pretty girl when he sees one! Thank you Wendy for working so hard to make the cover a success. The dress was fabulous! And Jacob's little matching self wasn't too shabby either. His smile says it all.
January's cover was a complete suprise to mommy Jackie. She had a gift certificate from our friends at First Ultrasound in Rockledge Florida and came in for a traditional newborn portrait session.After we saw this gorgeous portrait, we knew we had our cover for January. Little Bradyn is brand new and he is already a celebrity, what do you know!
I LOVE this painting. This little beauty came in with her family for a family portrait. I saw her little poodle and knew it would be good...But I had no idea it would be this good. She posed just like a classic little Renoir model should. Painting was a joy...The title is: Grace.
November was super fun with Alison , Emma and Kaitlyn. The theme was about the zoo and Alisongot some fun outfits for the girls to play along in our safari image. Miss Emma was a big girl and worked with me very hard to make sure we got good images...she was a great model...Come back and see me soon!
So many cute faces...I love my job...I was privileged to capture the many faces of the Hey Baby contest put on by Florida Today this year....And as always...it was sooo fun. Each baby is so cute and cuddly...Definately filled up my own "empty nest" feelings for the week!LOL This is Wyatt...I heard stories from all the mom's about his ice cream face portrait his family entered.
Here is the ad we ran in the Brevard County Mom's that month...featuring all the other little winners!
They say if you are going to blog...you should try to do it regularly...I wish I could! But between all my children and the days of our lives...I just do not seem to be able to catch up. And as the world turns in my one life to live...I know I am going nuts and I will probably end up at the general hospital before I know it!LOL But I will keep on trying...so here are the latest Brevard County Mom's Magazine covers that I have missed. This first one is the September Issue. Keshea and her daughter Anna Katherine were adorable together. Little Miss Anna Katherine was more than happy to model her mom's Snooty Patootie clothing creations...and she was more than happy to un-roll all of mom's neatly rolled ribbon for the great ribbon free for all! I loved the Snooty Patootie designs so much...I am looking forward to hosting a party with Keshea!..I'll let you know when I do...because all my Gioia Photography friends are invited!
Note to Girls: I just want to say that all of you girls are great!! I had such a fun time working with Coach Danielle creating the "puzzle" of all of you. Each one of you is not only beautiful...but a true professional. Your parents and your coach should all be very proud of you as young ladies. Some of you had to hold some pretty awkward positions...and for a long long time...and with a serene face that showed no hint of complaining! That is professionalism at it's best. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of supporting your terrific team. I look forward to getting to know you girls better as we continue to work together creating some awesome poster art!
Smiles,
Yvette
