We’re thrilled to speak with Carrie Steffe, expert photographer and promoter of boutique clothing. Listen in and learn how to get the best from your children’s photos. Carrie’s new website highlights her passion, and she also promotes great eBay designers at emersonsmom auctions.

Hi Daria,
GREAT show! It was very fun to listen to Carrie and the girls. I’m a huge fan of Carries, which is no surprise
I think her photo skills are amazing, she is extremely talented, and her children are just adorable. I have a huge respect for her as a photographer, as a mom, and as a friend.
I think you’re doing a fantastic job…keep up the good work Daria! Can’t wait to listen to your next podcast.

Daria,
Thanks so much for playing ‘I Wonder’ on your podcast. I have listed it on
my site for fans so they can check your show out.
I also wanted to say great work with the Breast Cancer Awareness auctions.
My Mom is a breast cancer survivor. She was diagnosed in 2003 and had a
lymph node resection and lumpectomy as well as Chemo, Radiation etc. She
just took herself off the Arimidex she was on because of bad side effects
and she had bad side effects from Tamoxifen. But so far she is in remission
100%. It is quite an ordeal for all who are touched by it and I am so glad
you are doing something positive to bring awareness to Breast Cancer!
Thanks for all your wonderful work and your support.
Kind regards,
Natalie Brown
PS I am currently in the studio working on new music that I hope to release
in 2006. If you would like to be updated on when the new CD is out, please

Bottom line Daria - your show is my Favorite, it’s just so well done and you talk about things that are fun, upbeat and important. Thank you for bringing Boutique Cafe to all of us, it must take so much of your time but it is so outstanding. You deserve an award and a big hug from all of your listeners!
Each of the designers feels like a good friend by the end of your interview and the kids you spotlight are so cute!
Please keep bringing us our cup of couture, I’m addicted.

**sigh**! I’ve had my cup of couture, and it was great!
Carrie, you made me feel so much better when you said you can’t sew - I struggle so much with my photography (and my models!) I love seeing your beautiful photographs of your adorable children, and wish you the best with your photography business!
Daria, I appreciate your hard work on this show - can’t wait until next week

I was the high bidder to your auction scramble for the BCA Boutique listings. Thank you so much for making me aware of the auctions and allowing me to contribute to finding a cure. I am so fortunate because I don’t have any family members who have be diagnosed with the disease but my heart goes out to all the families out there who have.

Daria,
Thanks so much for featuring my auction and thanks Suzanne for winning!! The day after I listed the set my friend had her last chemo treatment. She was so touched by the auctions that everyone listed! Because of all of you, I know she and other mothers like her will be able to spend more time with their children! God Bless everyone who participated.
On a lighter note, Daria your site ROCKS!!!!!!!!

Daria, What a great interview! I loved hearing Carrie and the girls! Carrie is such an awesome photographer but so down to earth and her photos are soo real, her girls are too adorable and I love seeing her “out-takes” on occasion!
The interviews are awesome to sit down, play and enjoy doing listening while doing something mundane such as paperwork or addressing packages! A break from the routine! THANKS!

Hi Daria!
I wanted to let you know that I adore your show! I have always been a kiddie couture buyer, and now that I have started making hair accessories of my own, I learn so much from these wondeful women! All of these women are incredible designers and very inspirational! AND THank you Carrie for your tips on picture taking, my daughter who is the product of 2 older *BRUDDERS* is very sassy. And I sure wish I lived closer to all of these awesome photographers Carrie, Lark and the rest so they could heeeeeeeelp me!!
Keep up the good work, I love the show!
