This is Laal…and she just turned 22. We celebrated together with a photo shoot and I have to say I am in love with this session! It was gloomy & overcast but every once in a while the sun would peek out from behind the clouds and give us some solid gold. So why do a photo shoot for turning 22? It’s not a milestone birthday but I say why not? I think everyone should have their photo taken yearly. Doesn’t matter whether you’re turning 2 or 22. We all change in a years time and it should be documented. This is your life and your life is beautiful! When you’re old and grey you’re going to look back on these photos and they will flood you with memories. Your children will cherish them when you are no longer here with them. Life needs to be documented because every picture has a story to tell.

Olivia’s Pixie Hollow
Welcome to the land of fairytales! 
It’s finally here! I have been dying to share this party for almost a whole year! Last August we celebrated our little Olivia turning 4 with a Pixie Hollow party. If you know me then you know that fairies are my jam and anything enchanted is totally up my alley. Enchantment to me is like magic, it just makes everything special and that is what childhood should be all about, believing in that magic. So when it comes to my kids parties I try my hardest to bring as much enchantment as possible and this party was oozing magic. Definitely my most favorite party I’ve EVER done. I wanted Olivia to look back on this day and think…”That was the day I was a real life fairy.” Usually about a month before my kids birthdays I take their yearly milestone photos. I love to document how much they’ve grown in a year and it gives me another shoot to plan out and put my creativity to work. I blogged about Olivia’s 4th birthday Fairytale Session a few months back if you need a refresher and believe me you do because it all ties into this party. The quick run down of it though is we set out into the “Enchanted Fourest” in search of Fairies to invite to her party. After much searching we weren’t successful so we left a pint sized invitation for them in hopes they would find it and one might show up to her party. So here it is, a look into all the little details I poured my heart into for this party! [Read more…]
Star Spangled Birthday
Here we are one day before the 4th of July and I am just now getting around to sharing with you our patriotic Star Spangled Birthday….sorry, I’ve been busy okay! Lucky for you though it has a lot of great last minute ideas you can still pull together in time. When I found out my girlfriends daughters birthday was coming up I thought how fun to share a birthday with America, I must throw her a party!! I teamed up with Shindigz which made the planning really fun because they have a lot of patriotic decor to choose from. Although it’s too late for you to get the supplies in time for this 4th of July celebration we still have Labor Day & Veteren’s Day coming up. Plus I was able to find a lot of fun paper items online that you can still print today and work into your party for tomorrow. So go check it all out and start downloading! [Read more…]
The Owen Express
Are you guys ready to take a ride on The Owen Express? I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this theme. I did it before way back in the day when I first started styling parties for private clients but I didn’t use any of my own designs. Ever since then I’ve been kicking myself for not taking the time to design anything because I love the vintage feel of it all. I knew the day would eventually come when I would do this theme again so I jumped at the chance to put some new designs together for my Etsy shop. I teamed up with my good friend Desiree and we tackled it all together for her little man Owen. So let’s take a ride and I’ll show you what we came up with! [Read more…]

That was a few weekends ago and it was beautiful so count on that post coming up in the next couple weeks. I love when clients decided to do a styled cake smash session to go with their party package. [Read more…]
