[Jen's List] Friday, July 4th

[Jennifer Levinson]

Happy 4th of July!

Have a safe and happy weekend!

Casting for a photo shoot
July 16th and 17th - All babies who are cast for the photo shoot will be given a $50 gift certificate to Innovative Baby. Looking for toddlers who wear sizes 2T, 3T or 4T (boys and girls). Please send two pictures (a close up and a full length) to info at deborahkeaton.com. Please name the photos your child's name and include contact information so that you can be reached if your little one is cast! Please do this for fun, and if your little one will find it fun! In other words, Innovative Baby is not interested in pushing children who don't like having their picture taken ;) Also, please understand that they work with babies/children all of the time and completely understand that sometimes they have a bad day! If it doesn't work out on the day of the shoot, your little one will still be given a gift certificate as a thank you for giving it a go.
