LITTLE HATCHLINGS and my good friend UYEN {newborn photographer tampa}

Hey everyone.. I wanted to share some info with you about Little Hatchlings. 

I met Uyen a little over a year ago and we have been become fast friends.
She has two INCREDIBLE little girls that always make me smile! 

But what I am writing about today is this: Little Hatchlings  - she makes these beautiful hair accessories and I am sure you have seen them in many of my newborn and child photos. 
Her work has been used in photo shoots, by brides, flower girls and babies.
They have been used as part of the decorations too. Her stuff is AWESOME!

I told her I was going to do this so I asked her to tell me a bit about herself.. she is so funny..
she sent me this 'snippet' about herself and although it was informative it doesn't really talk about who she is as a person. 
She is amazing.  She has a kind heart and I ALWAYS enjoy spending time with her. 

Thanks Uyen.. I really appreciate your support and I love ya girl! :)

I have attached some photos below.

 These are just a few of the photos I have taken using Little Hatchlings accessories.  :)

Gosh I really LOVE my job!!

Because she went to the trouble of writing the 'snippet' I am adding some of it here.
"I am a former biologist and I worked in the medical field up until I had my first daughter. Born out of the love for all things girly girl, I started handcrafting headbands after my second little girl was born. I LOVE what I do and I love anything modern with a vintage twist. By using designer cotton fabrics, luxurious dupioni silks and satins, and beautiful embellishments, I strive to deliver items that are crafted superior to the mass-produced items in the market. Not only is it important for me to provide exceptional craftsmanship but it’s also important that my clients have a unique and beautiful accessory that they will treasure throughout their childhood.
