So, I do not talk about it that much. I usually don’t tell my clients about my other business, as I do not want to seem spammy.  Photography is truly my first love. Other than being with my two little ones, I am never happier than when I am behind the camera and capturing moments that really mean something. But, six years ago, after my son was born, I created the Karma Baby Sling. It is a super easy to use baby carrier that allows you to carry your newborn, infant, or toddler in 5 easy carrying positions (can you tell how many thousands of times I have said THAT sentence:). We make them in organic and designer fabrics, BUT, we are moving towards all organic.  We were asked to feature our slings on Zulily.com, and realized it was the perfect opportunity to move out all of our old non-organic inventory and begin to manufacture ONLY organic slings.

It has been a super exciting morning. A good sales day on our regular site would be to sell like 15 slings. Zulily is selling 1 every MINUTE! It is crazy! They are very discounted, and that is why, but still. I am sitting here watching the sales behind the scenes and my jaw keeps dropping. I am excited to see a thousand new babies being loved and carried in the sling I created.

So, here are a few of our first images for Karma Baby. That first one is of Elijah, 8 months, and I. He was such a sweetheart! The third one is of Elijah and I when he was 2 years old. We wore him in the sling ALL the time until he was about 2 1/2. He was just the kind of baby that loved being close to me all the time. Amelia, my second, is the kind of baby that loves to be down and roaming around-and getting in to things. Though, to be honest, at 18 months now, we still have to put her to bed in the “night-night sling.”

Either way, I just wanted to share this other part of my life with everyone today.
