Nicole's Turns 1!

Say Hi to Nicole... Nicole just turned 1 and she is OBSESSED with Minnie Mouse! So much so, her Momma created this beautiful Minnie Mouse Themed Extravaganza! She had such an amazing day during her party with a life sized Minnie there to play games with her and all her friends! Here are some of the photos of the end of the party where I got to do a mini photo portraiture shoot after shooting the actual party. Enjoy! 

Mila's First Birthday Party!

If you haven't checked out Mila's first birthday shoot, check it out here. Today I share her first birthday party! I'm lucky to have known most of the people at this party for a long time (10+ years), so shooting this one was not only a breeze with such BEAUTIFUL people... but so much fun! Little Mila was having a great old time with all her little friends and her amazing family! Loved photographing this party! Oh yea and... a little announcement was made during this party... I may have a future newborn to photograph! ...and NO... Mila is NOT having a baby sibling.. at least not anytime soon! hah ;)

Little Miss Mila Nicole First Birthday Photo shoot!

Mila Nicole turns 1! I had the pleasure of photographing her at 6 months, and it amazes me how much she's grown in just another 6! We tried shooting on one hot OCTOBER day and she just wasn't having it! (which is NOTHING like her... she's always a happy baby!) So we did a re-shoot a few weeks later and she was in SUCH a good mood! Momma dressed her IMPECCABLY of course (duh.. she DID win Best Dress in high school! hah), and this little princess was a pro! I loved letting her run around and do her thing, it gave me some of my favorite images. Hope you enjoy these... these have been one of my favorite sessions ever! Thanks Jenny for choosing me to photograph your little princess.. can't wait for more sessions! ...Stay tuned for pics of Mila's first birthday party! :)

Luka's 5th Birthday Party

Today I share with you one of my favorite little boy's 5th Birthday Party! Luka's mom is one of my bestest friends in the WHOLE world, for the past 7 years we've had many ups and downs, laughs, tears, and arguments, but at the end of the day, I am SO lucky to be able to be a part of their little family!
