Photo Shoot Pretties


Hello Friends!

I'm back to share with you some of the over 700 images
I shot for the Willow Nest feature in the brand new, Summer 2011 issue of
Romantic Country Magazine.

As you know, they chose 11 for the feature, "The Feminine Mystique".

Personally, I don't see why they didn't just use all 700.
I'm just sayin'....

{tongue firmly planted in cheek!}

I'll be sharing a handful of pics with you in each post in the days ahead,
so I hope you enjoy!






I'm just loving  any and all shades of pink for Spring, 
how about you?









I'll be sharing more pics soon!

Don't forget to enter my
one lucky winner will receive the 
Summer 2011 issue of Romantic Country featuring my pics...

as well as a personally autographed copy of
Romantic Prairie Style
signed by none other than the author herself,
Fifi O'Neill!


 That pic is for you , Fifi! :-)

Have an amazing week, my friends!

    I just became your newest follower.. literally minutes ago; and already a new post with some beautiful photos! ;)

    I am in LOVE with the floors in your pics. Might be a silly question, but, did you paint these yourself? If so, great job! I am totally jealous.

    All the snaps are so pretty, Anne! I think they just should have published one issue with all your 700 snaps! That would have been pretty awesome. You're doing such a great job and now I know someone (sort of) famous! :)

    My copy of the
    book arrived while
    I was out of town,
    so I'm looking forward
    to a quiet moment to
    devour it!! Your pics
    are amazing and I'm
    hoping {fingers crossed}
    that if I can get a copy
    of the right issue of RH
    before my trip down your
    way in a couple of weeks,
    you will sign it for me??
    I'm also hoping that the
    beautiful Texas wild flowers
    will still be blooming!!
    Happy Monday,

    I looked at your article in RC mag and I must say it is beautiful, Miss Anne! :)

    Aw thanks for that great compliment! I ripped out the French book pages totally impromtu; just felt like the empty frame space needed something. Please do share what similar thing you have done. I would love to see it! Can you believe I haven't seen Fifi's book in person yet! I am just beyond curious to see it! Real soon I hope! Enjoy the week!
