A backyard 5th birthday bash to envy

Posted on August 30, 2010

I was graciously invited to the home of the little sister of my Scribble Press friend from earlier this year. A 5-year-old who was treated to all of her favorite things, ice cream, magic, face painting, balloon animals and glitter tattoos, “A” was the princess of the ball and enjoyed every minute. And let’s take a second right now to say that the idea of Baskin Robbins coming and setting up a sundae bar is nothing short of genius.

With the pool highly populated by leaping children, the BBQ always going and the friends connecting, this was a lovely party and I was so happy to be a part of it. I was asked to go outside my comfort zone and shoot the entire party, not individual children and guests and it was definitely a challenge. But I feel I rose to it and got some great shots for the family.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Turning 5 at The Santa Monica Pier

Posted on August 15, 2010

I spent the day today at the Santa Monica Pier, which that alone should leave you very jealous. But what makes you more jealous is that I got to be around a family of a little boy who turned 5 this past Thursday, and celebrated his birthday today. This family was so loving, so happy, so accepting and so much fun! The birthday boy had a hard time warming up at first – the entire event started out with being overwhelmed. But when his best friend showed up, all bets were off, and so was the birthday boy – riding rides on repeat, laughing, cavorting, smiling, joking around and enjoying life.

Here are some of my favorite shots of one of my new favorite families:
