Gardner Joseph :: 2nd Birthday Party

Monday, August 6, 2012 Posted in Special Events

Who remembers Gardner Joseph’s 1st Birthday that I photographed last year? Well it was on to round two and Gardner Joseph’s parents outdid themselves once again! This years theme was Country Western/Cowboy! I loved all the decorations, favors, the cake, food prepared by chefs, musicians, face painter, horsey rides. This was a dream party and belongs in a magazine! Thanks Gardner & Rachel for allowing me capture such a special day!

Check out some of my favorite shots from the day:

Madden :: 9 Months

Wednesday, August 1, 2012 Posted in Children, Grow With Me

I photographed Madden last week for his 9 month shoot, we went to his grandparents house to take these! They have a beautiful yard! Love going to different places to shoot. I can’t get over how much Madden resembles his Mommy, the older he gets the more he looks like her. So precious! Looking forward to his next session, the big ONE!!
