Happy Birthday Little One

I love the chance to see some of my littlest clients as they grow up. I was excited when I got an e-mail from this cutie-pies mom. (Another post here.) We set up a session for Saturday and got some amazing shots.

Mister 6 Year Old

Look who just turned 6!! Happy birthday to you! This guy was super easy to photograph. He did just what I told him to do and was a natural in front of the camera. He has a super sweet smile and I really enjoyed working with him. Hope you had a great birthday!!

Happy 13th! ~A Sneak Peak~

I had the honor to do some photography for a 13th birthday tea party last weekend. We were able to do a quick set of portrait shots before it started. It was lots of fun to see this beautiful girl celebrate with her family. So, lots more pictures to work on, but here are a few to get started with.

The birthday girl was presented with this special china....that also has a special meaning.

AND...if you want to have your own tea party, with some of the amazing treats below and so much more, I just might be able to hook you up with the greatest tea party hostess ever! :)

~The Simple Life~ Family Time

I have sure been quiet lately...all the sunshine we are getting has inspired me to get going on a few projects around the old homestead. So we are trying to get our garden planted, our yard landscaped and we are finishing up the school year! (Can you believe that we have just 5 lessons left and we still have not finished...going on 3 weeks like that!)

I don't think I have really even touched my camera in a week! *gasp* Like I said in my last post, I am starting to have withdrawls!! But I promise to have a fun update later this week! I had a client contact me about doing some special pictures, I will be sure to post some later this week after the event! I can't wait!

Also, just 10 days left of my 20's! I am thinking of some sort of giveaway for my 30th birthday present to YOU! Hmm, we'll just have to see what happens there!

And because I can't post a blog entry without a picture, I caught this image when my kids sat down to watch daddy till up the garden area. They had been enjoying the slip-n-slide and took a break to sit down on the grass roller to watch. I thought it was so cute...so I grabbed the camera a snapped a picture! Our neighbor is SO good to let us borrow his tractor, I can't image tilling up this garden without it!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!

I can't believe my "baby" is 4!! Time is just marching right past me...I almost can't stand it! She was so excited to take her "birthday pictures" today. What a ham...she did most of her own posing on these too!

~Arely~

Here are a few more from the Quinceañera. I loved all the pink! Arely is so beautiful! (Click on the pictures to make them bigger!)

This is a shot that I have been wanting to try for a long time! It worked out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to have a camera with a bigger viewing screen! But still...I love it!

Quinceañera for Arely

I attended my first Quinceañera last night. It was a very special evening and I enjoyed every minute of it. Here are just a couple of shots....

Happy Birthday Arely!

My 8 Year Old

We celebrated a birthday in the family yesterday...isn't she growing up! We decided to cut her hair for her birthday! I think it looks so cute! She was very excited to take some birthday pictures. We didn't have the best weather for it, but we still gave it a try!
