I mostly photograph weddings, but it is nice to do something a bit different for a change.I've known Becky since forever. I grew up with her and her younger sister Maggie, who is my age. They lived right across the street so we probably ended up hanging out almost every day. Now, we're all grown up. Both Maggie and Becky have husbands and kids. Becky lives in Utah, but does come back to good ol' Virginia to visit. Yesterday, we went to Frying Pan Park in Herndon, VA for a mini portrait session with her and 5-month-old, Kenny. Kenny is absolutely adorable, and he is one of the most laid back babies I've ever met.

Here are some of my favorites:

How incredible would it be to have a mom that planned parties for a living? Well, Miss Caitlyn is lucky enough to have a mom that does exactly that. Christine of Pure Joy Events has done it again and I was fortunate to have been asked to photograph one of the most creative 7th birthday parties ever. The theme was a "Vintage Sewing Birthday Party" and the kids had a ball doing sewing crafts and munching on creative sewing-themed treats. Christine found a vintage sewing machine to be the center piece of the entire party and spared no detail decorating it to perfection.

You can see Pure Joy Events Blog post here. You can also see a tutorial of the cake pops here. This party was a huge success and has been featured in a number of places, including: -Amy Atlas' Sweet Designs Blog -The DIY hoop design also on the Sweet Designs Blog -6 Bitter Sweets Blog -The blog of Celebrations at Home -The Honor Roll on Making it Lovely

I can't wait for more of another Pure Joy Events party!
