Another gorgeous Senior

Had the pleasure of meeting Carissa (and her cute sister who came along to the shoot).  These girls were beautiful and so natural in front of the camera.  Sure made my job easy :)

Fun Family Pics

Nate & Lu were so much fun to photograph.  Seriously.  They are so in love and it shows in the pictures.  They are normally BEHIND the cameras as they are professional wedding videographers.  But wow, did they ever shine in front of it!

Little Sam didn't have much desire to be photographed.  He wanted to run off and play in the sand with his truck.  But we did catch a few of him.

 This has to be one of my favorite photographs -- Lu is gorgeous, and this picture proves it!  Absolutely stunning.

 And another one of my favorites.  You can't stage this kind of relationship.

Can't wait to photograph them again.  They were a blast!

Chloe J's Candyland Party!

Have I ever mentioned that I have the most creative friends?  I was so excited when Cindy asked me to photograph her daughter's 1st birthday party. 

And what a party it was!

She used the Candyland theme throughout every detail of her party.  When you entered the house, it was as if you were entering in to the actual Candyland board game!  Love the banner paper lining the walls and floor!

And have you ever seen a cuter cake?

 The candy garland made out of balloons was such a great backdrop.

 And what's a Candyland party without a candy buffet for the kiddos!

The party guests were not only served a scrumptious lunch, but also snacked on popcorn and cotton candy. 

 And as if the bounce house wasn't enough, PINK PONIES made an appearance.  Too cute!

 This little girl is dearly loved and couldn't get any cuter. Not quite sure how they'll ever top this amazing party!  They thought of everything.  I really think Cindy needs to go into the party planning business!

 And my kids were so glad to have been invited and been able to join in on all the fun!
