The Sweetest Birthday Party EVER!

This is Ryan, aka "Candy Head."

This is Ryan with his mom, Corrie. Corrie is a party planning master, as evidenced by the photos below.

The theme for Ryan's 3rd birthday was Sweet Treats. Pictured here are jello jigglers in real orange, lemon and lime peels.

Corrie had an amazing sweet tooth table set up, with an incredible array of candy and cupcakes.

 

She made everything by hand, including the letters " R Y A N" which were made with m&m's.

The entire family, big brother Robert, Ryan, Mom and Dad were wearing candy-themed t-shirts! So was grandma!

Corrie made this gorgeous cake.

 

Hand-dipped chocolate covered strawberries.

Cookies!

The entire party was vibrant, unbelievably detailed and creative. Truly, a sight to behold! Thanks for inviting me to photograph the party Corrie, and I hope you enjoy the preview of your photos!

A Dad in Love

Tonight I was editing photos for this family, and I was totally struck by the love and adoration this dad showed for his girls.

I believe this photograph will mean so much to little Sasha as she grows up and hits the turbulent times of adolescence.

Yeah for great dads!

Brothers

Aaron and Nathan are brothers. Aaron is 6 and Nathan is 3. They don't always get along (come on! who does?!) but they did very well for these photos and were very fun. At one point Nathan hit me in the head with a football 9 times in a row while we were attempting a shot of Aaron. What a hoot! More photos of this family to come!

Stephanie

My friend Stephanie is the wonderful designer who created my business cards. Here are a few of the shots I took of her that she needed for her business.

Welcome Little Haley!

This week I have the honor of meeting a lovely family with two beautiful daughters. Big sister Sasha was extremely sweet and attentive to her newborn sister, Haley.

Haley was the first newborn I have ever photographed who actually slept through part of her session! Isn't she just the sweetest?!

Sasha had a wonderful time playing with Daddy on their great back yard playground.

Haley snuggling with Mommy.

Thank you, Matt and Melissa, for inviting me into your home!

Birthday Boy!

Martin Jr is 1! Happy Birthday little one!
