Gennie's 8th birthday party!

So, Miss Ma'am turned 8!  We postponed her friends' party until after school started back up in January so that they'd all be back from Christmas break...and to give me time to get past the holidays before I had to plan a birthday party.  Whew!  She wanted a "Rainbow Party" this year:

 We did facepainting...

 And rainbow nails... (even Josiah wanted in on the action)

 Then they decorated wands to pose with in our photo booth...

 Josiah's facepainting choice was a green mustache...very handsome indeed.

 Instead of cake, etc, each girl got a Rainbow in a Jar...they got to add the whipped cream cloud and sprinkles.

 And Sprite with rainbow Twizzler straws to drink.

 I got clear DIY ornaments and filled them with rainbow tissue paper then Kev hung them from the ceiling...Rainbow Drops!

 She got lots of girly presents...barbies and nail stuff and make-up and a chinese jumprope set and Littlest Pet Shop stuff.

 For the take-home favors we had a candy table...each girl got to fill a goodie bag with candies from our assortment, sorted by color of course.



I'm pretty sure the candy table was Josiah's favorite party.  We sent the girls home all sugared up and happy! 

Happy Holidays!

Love to you all,

Amy

The McKinneys -- sneak peek

 I love shooting in the fall!  Here's some favorites from my session with some friends I had the opportunity to photograph this past week. 

 While I always shoot in color, I just couldn't help myself and turned a bunch of them black and white, too.  I just love how they all looked in B&W:

Thanks, Kim & Zach, for letting me work with you!  I had a great time!  :)

More faves from another recent shoot -- I always have such a hard time picking just a "sneak peek" and not just posting the whole shoot.  Love 'em all!

My first urban session of the year -- loved it!  It was a crazy gray, cold day and the graffitti colors just popped!  We're soooo doing this for our family pix next year!  Thanks so much, guys, for letting me shoot for you -- I had so much fun!

sneak peek -- Leavitt Family

 Here are just a few of my favorites from a recent portrait session.  I had so much fun!

 This next one was in between shots -- I couldn't resist putting it in! 

 This little guy had the most amazing eyes -- they just sparkled!

Thanks, Leavitts, for letting me hang out for awhile!  I had a blast!

Sneak Peek - Davianne

 Here are some of my faves from a recent senior portrait session.  I had a blast -- she has a great eye for poses and settings and was fantastic to work with! 

 She took me out to this fantastic old rusted-out car...my new FAVE spot...I think we'll use it for our fam portraits next year!  And what a fabulous juxtaposition -- she wore her prom dress!  Love it!

Thanks so much, Davianne, for letting me hang out and take these for you!  Hope you love them as much as I do!
