2014 Christmas Mini Session // Travel Sessions // Eaton, OH

11/29/2014

Comments

 
My friends and family back in Ohio often say they wish I could take photos for them, so I decided to set up Christmas mini sessions while we were in town for Thanksgiving. We were lucky enough to have a sunny and warm(ish) day so we could take photos outside as well as with my indoor setup.

Blake's First Birthday Party // Event Photography // St Charles, IL Photographer

11/23/2014

Comments

 
This was the first event that I photographed for someone other than a close friend or family! I loved the Under the Sea theme that Blake's mom, Mary, went with. She's a Pinterest junky after my own heart! She did a great job pulling everything together, and did a lot of it herself. I even helped with a few things too :) Check out these great details!

Here is a shot of the main area.

The cake was made by one of my former coworkers at the Blue Goose in St Charles
(I was a cake decorator for about 12 years for those of you that don't know!).

The edible shark fins were also made at the Blue Goose, but Mary made the cupcakes herself!
I love the netting, it really added something special :)

I designed this! Mary showed me one she liked for inspiration and I made it happen. Love this trend!

I also helped Mary out by writing on this chalkboard while she finished setting up.
I love the idea of a time capsule, it will be so special when he turns 18!
