I have had several requests lately about photographing birthday parties so I’ve created a package to do so.  Here’s the deal…

Invite me to your party!  I will show up an hour early and take some unique and memorable pictures of the birthday child and family together (while everyone is still ‘fresh’ and not distracted by all the excitement yet)…then I will stay throughout the party and capture the celebration details as they unfold.  I will catch great moments that you may not even notice otherwise.  I will stick with you to the very end.  The only thing I won’t do is clean up the mess (although I may take pictures of it)!

After the party, you get a full CD of all the images with favorites professionally edited!  What a great keepsake. 

Bonus!  You know I love to make collages.  Well, here’s the thing.  Collages are awesome for birthday parties because you can see the series of images together and they tell a story about the event.  Great for baby/birthday books…wall display…anything!

The fab deal is this:  custom photography before, during and after your party with a full resolution CD of the all the images…only $340!  Too good to be true, I know.  The thing is:  I am just so excited about this new venture so I’m making it irresistable.  I am supremely motivated to obtain awesome party images so my ambition = a great opportunity for you. 

note: This offer is only available for a short time as I build my ‘event’ photography portfolio

 

Capture moments like this…

Here’s the adorable birthday girl!

Unfortunatly I did not get to stay for this party (so sad) because I had another photo session scedueled for the day.  I did stay just a few minutes when I dropped ‘M’ off for the fun and (of course) snapped a couple shots before the other kids arrived.  Wish I could have stayed for the event!

I’m glad that I had the opportunity to get a few of the birthday girl anyway + a couple of the 2 girls greeting each other and getting all excited in honor of the occassion.   You can see that they are just bursting with excitement!  I love it.

How cute is she?

Celebrating with a cake… ready to make a big mess!  Before we see that, notice the adorable outfit!  The fancy hat, ruffle pants, and ’1′ shirt are all Mady and Lu items and available for purchase…or you can just borrow them for your KA photo session.

Does this background look familiar?  Sorry about the overload on lime polka dots here on this blog post (since they match the background and all).  So, here’s the story.  Mom wanted something fun and fresh for her daughter’s 1st birthday milestone (with pink and green colors to match her room).  She mentioned that she loved the green polka dot background on my blog and asked if I had a similiar backdrop.  Hmmm…that got me thinking and I told her I’d do my best.  I love when clients bring up ideas…it’s fun to follow up with what they have in mind and make it happen.  I was happy to challenge myself and then pull through for her with this end result.  She was quite amazed to get exactly what she asked for.

Just take a look at this goofy little girl!  She is just bursting with gleeeee…thrilled to dig her little fingers into that cake!

Thanks for the fun, sweet girl!  Wishing you a splendid birthday!

Your galley will be up shortly…

celebrate! happy 4th of july! 

 

An American classic photo session.  Here’s sweet little ‘L’ – celebrating her 4th birthday and the 4th of july.  Isn’t this dress perfect?  I have had this site in mind for something fun and when L’s mom showed me this dress I knew it was finally time to shoot at this location.  I love how they turned out.  ‘L’ is just amazing – you can just see her energy+beauty full out in these images.

 
So, here I am…blogging!  Thanks for all the encouragement to get this started.  I never thought the day would come.  I will do my best to keep updates here.  More to come once I get this figured out a bit.   
 
update: a few images in a bit larger size…enjoy!

‘L’ was totally into taking pictures but she kept giving me the cheesy smiles and posing with her head tilted (very princess like but not the great natural shots I strive for).  It took some good tunes and engaging conversation between the two of us but I finally cracked her out of the posing and scored some awesome images…
