Owned and operated by a mother/daughter duo, the freckled frog and everything inside is best described as remarkable charming. We offer adorable children's clothes in classic brands such as Bailey Boys, Kissy Kissy, Amanda Remebered and Peaches N Cream. We carry sizes newborn to 4T in boys and up to 6X in girls. Each season we sprinkle in a few surprises to add a little fun with brands like Petit Couture, Nane & Joe and La Jenn's. We firmly believe a bow on a little girl is the icing on the cake! Our wall of bows satisfies just about every color in the rainbow and we stock each color in 5 sizes from infant to extra large. We also carry a great selection of shoes featuring L'Amour and Sun San Sandals. Children's books, bath toys and name trains by Maple Landmark make us a great stop for birthday gifts. Baby gift registry, complimentary gift wrap and in-house monogramming are a few added extras to make your shopping easier and "hoppier!" We're open Monday through Friday 10 to 5 and Saturdays 10 to 4. Hop, Stop and Shop at the freckled frog!

This morning my "froggie" friends came by the studio and their children as well as mine obliged us by modeling a few Easter looks in preparation for the upcoming Easter Mini Sessions: Photos with a LIVE bunny! The freckled frog is full of all kinds of adorable clothing to match this year's look. (The more neutral background "won" in the facebook poll, so that's the one we will be using. I may set up the zig-zag one, too, just to have the option).

Remember to hop on into the freckled frog and make a purchase of $25 or more and bring in your 2012 receipt to receive a FREE 5x7 from your Easter Mini Session. Tell Debbie and Kendra I sent you. ; ) Here are a few looks we chose to showcase today.

fun with new "looks"

I'm thinking either this one...

Or this one for Easter Mini Sessions. My baseboard is on order and will be in soon, but I couldn't wait to try out the backdrops with G's new Mud-Pie outfit. : )

 

This is a fun new "look" for girls. I couldn't resist the cuteness of the flowers and birds. It looked like something I'd doodle myself.

Little Zach. : )

Hope you  like these as much as I did. I think they look great for our first trial run. Can't wait for March 17 when we add the LIVE bunny to the mix.

(I only have outdoor examples of photos from this session, but I promise I will make them just as cute indoors. I am so excited about having a "different" look indoors this year. I'll try to post an example of the set-up closer to time. Think white-washed barn doors, a reclaimed wood cart, etc.)

It's that time again! Spring will be here before you know it. So, you know what that means? Time to start booking Easter Mini Sessions: Photos with a LIVE bunny! This will be our 5th year doing this event and each year it gets better and better. Since Easter is a bit earlier this year and the landscape may still look a bit drab and the weather unpredictable, we are going to shoot inside my studio. I'm going for a white washed rustic look. The latest Pottery Barn Kids catalogue inspired me. It will be neutral, so anything goes. All white or color will look great.

So, without further ado, here's how it will go. To book your 10 minute mini session, email me at epcphotography@gmail.com to request an hour of the day (9-2). I'll shoot you back a specific time. $50 is due at booking to confirm your appointment (that covers the minimum package, 2-5x7's and 8 wallets or 1-8x10 and 8 wallets). Other package options will be offered on the day of your session. If you don't want the minimum package, you can always upgrade using your $50 deposit. I need to receive your payment within 48 hours of booking or your appointment will go to someone else. You can pay by paypal or send a check.

Packages:

The $50 package is 2-5x7 and 8 wallets or 1-8x10 and 8 wallets.

The $100 package is "choose your own" and includes a $100 print credit.

The $150 package covers the same as the $100 package and also includes (1) high resolution image of your choice.

If I've left anything out, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope to hear from you soon. I appreciate any buzz you could give this on your facebook pages, blogs, etc. You are my best form of advertising.

Here are (2) ways you can earn a FREE 5x7! (one per family)

1. Shop my Kelly's Kids Party (Party #60). www.kellyskids.com/AmandaBaskin or come to the trunk show at the studio on March 1 from 4-6 and make a purchase.

2. Shop at the freckled frog and bring in your receipt of $25 or more (from a 2012 purchase).

It's been a crazy week trying to capture Spring while it's still "springing." : ) I'm working an extra day this week just so I can focus on uploading last weekend's Easter Mini Sessions, which by the way were a HUGE success! Thanks to all of you who have already supported this event. We have one more round of sessions to go this Saturday afternoon (all appointments are filled at this time). 

I have so many BEAUTIFUL images to post from this Spring. It's been a wonderfully colorful year. I can't wait to reveal them all to you. Until then, have a "hoppy" day!

wow! 50 easter mini sessions booked in 48 hours!

I have filled my maximum number of Easter Mini Session appointments, but those of you with children know, there are ALWAYS cancelations. I am starting a cancelation list and want you to be on it. Those of you with appointments already, please be considerate if you won't be able to make it so that someone can have your spot. Thanks!

now booking sunday easter mini sessions: 11 apts. left!

Wow! Thank you so much for your support and speedy booking for April 9's Easter Mini Sessions. Due to high demand, I am opening up the Sunday afternoon sessions from 3-5. I still have one more 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning appointment to fill, too.

I want to fill them all if possible and need your diligence to let me know if you can't make it so I can fill your spot. If everyone shows up, we'll be able to:

a. Fund an existing Kenyan orphan through Light Ministries for 3 months!

or

b. Fund a brand new orphan and support him or her for one month!

From what we've been told, Kenyan children can not be adopted by Americans. That's why we have to take the help to them. We'll be supporting the orphanages Zach spent time in last week. There are so many good things that are being done for them there. These precious people are literally saving the lives of these hopeless children and investing in them spiritually to teach them the Word of God. They also give them an education, so that they can have a way out of poverty. There are children, outside the gates, who aren't funded and longing to be inside those walls. I want to do all I can to connect your children's blessings with those chidren's poverty. I hope you'll be a channel of blessing and support this event and tell your friends so we can fill the remaining 11 spots!

James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

It's time to start gearing up for Spring. Children's clothing catalogues featuring warmer weather wear in bright colors started pouring in my mailbox right after Christmas. I guess that means it's time to prepare for this year's Easter Mini Sessions! This year's event will be held rain or shine...hopefully shine so we can shoot outside. If it happens to rain, we'll just move inside the studio. This is what my yard looked like mid April last year, no guarantees, but I'm hoping the azaleas will be in full bloom when you are here.
