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…]
Because of the Brave
You guys know the saying….Land of the Free…..Because of the Brave. I’m so excited to share these photos because I’m really proud of this session! Maybe its because I have a special place in my heart for the military. So many members of my family have served. Uncles, cousins, my brother retired a few years ago after 20 plus years and my dad has a purple heart from serving in Vietnam. And let me tell you there is nothing that will get me choked up quicker than watching a military homecoming. Stop it already! I’ve been wanting to capture a military family for a while but I just don’t know any in the area we live in, until I met Cori. Our kids were in the same Kinder class and I eventually started chatting with her through a mom group. Once I found out her husband was serving I said you have to let me photo your family! Just so happens she was on board and was able to talk her husband into getting all dressed up. So take a look at this fun session with a little bit of fancy, a little bit of casual, I went a little overboard with catching the sun flares but hey that’s just me and then we even worked in some GQ shots of her son if he ever wants to take up modeling. 🙂 [Read more…]
