Congratulations to one of my best friends, Rebecca – who married one of her best friends, Rob, yesterday. Although I have known Rebecca for less than a year, I feel as though we have been friends for a lifetime! We have so many things in common and I will be so sad to see her…
I have some other sessions I really should post before this one from this past week. But I know mama is anxious to see how some of these turned out. And although I haven’t even made one pass through all of the images from this session (which was really more like 4 sessions rolled…
I had a delightful time taking portraits for Janice – for the occasion of her new book that will soon be published! This is the fourth author I have done head shots for, and I will be doing another next month! Is that a new niche for me? Given that I love to read so…
Finally, one last blog post, dedicated to the birthday girls – honoring them and their family on their special day! It was such a pleasure to document you turning one year older this past year, and I look forward to celebrating many birthdays with you in the future!
“Wherever they may have come from, and wherever they may have gone, unicorns live inside the true believer’s heart. Which means as long as we can dream, there will be unicorns.” –Bruce Coville What would a unicorn party be without, well… unicorns? Delightful ponies provided by Susan Remington at Pony Parties and horns provided by…
One of my favorite parts of this birthday party was the amazing face painting done by Amy at enchantedbrushstrokes.com! These were truly the most beautiful and intricate face paintings I had ever seen and they brought a fun splash of color onto every subjects face! My own children were so tickled to find that she…
What would a party be without one’s friends? One of my favorite part about covering birthday parties is capturing the relationship between the person being honored and their friends. And with kids it’s so much fun to capture whole gamut of expressions and experiences. For this post, I tried to show more of guests who…

Another must-have activity at a little kid’s birthday party – the pinata! Who knows how the tradition of beating some poor cardboard creature into releasing all of it’s candy stores became so popular with the 10 and under set, but it does seem to be a crowd pleaser every time. And I think even a…
No children’s party is complete without the kid-friendly favorite – the bounce house! But while Bounce Houses are great for kids, and even better for parents (fun places to jump = not needing to be entertained +sleeping well at night – bonus!), they are somewhat of a nightmare for photographers. The fun, bright colors cast…
Who doesn’t look back with nostalgia on memories of running out to see the ice cream truck, hopefully with money in hand, as it comes whistling around the corner? And what a fun way to cool things down on a hot summer’s day at a 4-year old birthday party! The colorful shaved ice and yummy…
Birthday parties are more fun when there are crafts to make – just ask my kids! This was one of their favorite activities of the day! They loved all of the shiny sequins (jewels they called them) and playing with paint is always fun. And the frames were the perfect place to keep the photographs…
