Celebrating a 1st Party

My son attended his first birthday party last weekend. I think, no, I know I was more excited than he was. Not only do I love decorating my own parties, I love getting and sharing ideas with other fabulous mommies. I especially get excited when the parties are themed, which this one was; a cute safari theme! The birthday had the usuals: a pinata, treats for the kids, a monkey cake and a face painter. Holla! Again, I got a little too excited for my own good. But, who could resist getting their face painted with a Hello Kitty design and sparkling cheetah print all around?  Of course I had to match my lil guy. He got a lion nose with whiskers. Check out how cute he looks…oh and this made me start thinking about all the spooky things I need to start crafting for Halloween.

Tiffany: Fashionista

Intelligent. Gorgeous. Stylish. Sweet. These tender words and many more describe Tiffany. Did I mention she is a model? Didn’t think so, but yes she is! One of her many talents is being a lovely print model. Except, she is not your typical model.  Nope, She is as real as they come!  A lip gloss wearing, champagne drinking, USC football loving type of real girl. Along with her modeling career, she makes time to continue her education as she is currently attending the University of California, Irvine’s Education Administration credential program. She has got it going on! I was thrilled when she wanted me to help her update her photo portfolio. We were limited on time because of the sun began to set earlier during these cooler autumn days. Still, with her modeling experience, I was able to capture plenty of fashionable pictures.

Hope these were what you envisioned Tiffany. I definitely love your spirit that shined through my lens!

I love all the different looks she has…she has a peaceful glow to her here.
I played a little with the color for my own sepia take on these photos.Doesn’t her outfit scream Autumn? Love!Her head band added just the right touch to her autumn boho look.

Karen & Ronnie’s Wedding

I would like to say that I appointed myself third shooter of this wedding… lol. Not really, but when I attend a friend’s wedding I like to consider myself their personal third shoot. I know, I know, there isn’t such a thing as a third shooter. Actually, they are probably called assistants to the second shoot; well that was me! My dear friend and sister, sorority sis, Karen, lovingly said her I do’s this weekend in Newport Beach. My husband and I were guests to this beautiful ceremony and reception aboard a triple deck Yacht. Have I ever mentioned that I love weddings? Well, I do. I especially love all the details that the bride and groom put into making their dream wedding a reality. And,  I love weddings even more when they are on gorgeous afternoons, perfect for adding images to my photography collection. I mostly shot pictures of the lovely location because what happens on a yacht wedding stays on a yacht wedding. Also, I wanted to enjoy myself, which means having my husband take photos of me and the bride and groom. Congratulations Karen and Ronnie! I know you are going to have a fabulous and sweet life together and with your scrumptious lil baby girl!

The Yacht

 

How lucky were they to get married in front of this stunning summer sunset?

I was too far away to get a lot of great images, but I managed to snap this one! Love:)

Family and Football

With a blink of an eye they are all grown up. That can’t be anymore true for my little cousin, Matthew. I am the eldest grandchild on my father’s side but my cousin, Matt is the oldest boy. It seems hard to imagine that he is a freshman in high school.  I can still remember, myself, being in high school and thinking geeze are my cousins every going to grow up so I can have some fun with them? Well, the time has come and I couldn’t be any more proud of him! Truth be told I’ve always wanted a brother but I guess this is good enough for me. Good luck cousin. I’ll be waiting, with my camera, for some actions shots! By the way, he’s number #46!
