captured in print: moments in time + a Sears Portrait Studio giveaway! #SearsBabysRoom

Remember those studio pictures?  The ones with the bad hair, questionable wardrobe choices and the funny grins that seemed to go on for miles?  The ones where you look at your parents wondering what on earth were they thinking?  Or maybe they secretly wanted to save those embarrassing photos for that certain once-in-a-lifetime slideshow - I cannot confirm nor deny that I may or may not have already started a collection of embarrassing photos of my own kids {shhhh!}.

For our first family photo shoot, I took hubby and Miss S to a {surprise!} portrait studio.  It immediately brought back memories of the few times my brother and I had smiled and posed and looked so very proper.

Following that first photo shoot came many more over the years. There's something magical about capturing moments in time and seeing our kids grow up through the pictures.  After all, they grow up far to fast and we always say that we'll remember them as they are.  At least for me, I always think that I'll remember, and then when I look back at pictures, I'm in complete awe at how much my kids change - in as little as six months!

Between October 25 - November 7, 2013, Sears is offering 10 free personalized photo greeting cards AND a free photo shoot courtesy of Sears Portrait Studio {valued at $29.89!} with a purchase of $50 or more on kids' fashions.  The redemption period for the greeting cards and photo shoot is between October 25 - December 13, 2013 - perfect for those upcoming holiday photos!

And, if you need new holiday outfits to compliment your photo shoot, Sears has you covered with their new Kidvantage KidBucks program!  During Baby Days {October 11-31, 2013}, where you will save 20% off everything baby, you can earn $10 in Sears KidBucks for every $40 spent* {before taxes} on toys, children's furniture, infant and kids apparel, and juvenile products.  This is the perfect time to choose your outfits for your upcoming photo shoot at Sears Portrait Studio, and maybe even get a head-start on your holiday shopping!

*Earn a maximum of $50 KidBucks per transaction.  Excludes items ending in .97 cents, footwear, Carter's and OshKosh B'gosh brands.  KidBucks coupons can be redeemed between November 1-12, 2013.
