Braniff

Even though I'm single, I attend a lot of birthday parties for children. One, because I'm usually the photographer, and two, because I have some really awesome married friends with children. Braniff's third birthday was a combination of the two. His mom and I are really great friends, and I also took some photographs of the festivities.

As always, there a spacewalk, which is my enemy as a photographer. You can't shoot through the mesh, and you can't take a clean shot inside because of all the jumping toddlers. :) They had the LSU game on that day, and Juliet felt the need to wear her Florida shirt. What was she thinking?

Turning Three.

I spent Sunday afternoon hanging with some friends at the birthday party of my friend Natalie's daughter, Evie. She is so adorable and was even rocking sequin leggings at the party. I realize that some of you want to run out to buy a pair right now, but you must stop yourself. Only little girls under 10 can come near something so bright and shiny.

Here's a few of my favorites from the party.

Par-ty!

I had a fun time at Joe's party. There were lots of peeps there, but alas, they didn't make it into most of the photos. The pictures will have to do the talking for this particular post. Story time was my favorite part of the evening! Credit to Joe for taking the third picture of Keith. Peace.

Sixty

I grew up tagging along with my dad to our camp for fishing, trawling, setting crab traps, etc... I admit it; I'm from a family of outdoorsman. My dad even taught me to water ski when I was eight on the lake near our camp. I grew up in some part there, with my dad and all his buddies.

The great thing about my dad is that he is still friends with those same guys from high school; they see each other regularly and get together for special events. I only keep in touch with one person from high school, so these guys amaze me. Some of these same guys were in attendance at my dad's sixtieth birthday party, along with neighbors, friends, and family.

Carson's Party

Carson is four today! I had the pleasure of being invited to photograph her party this past weekend. It was held in a their friend's backyard, and it was one of the best party locations for photography that I've seen lately. First and foremost, there was amazing, diffused light...the day was perfect. In addition, it was just full of amazing windows/shutters as decorations and hanging flowers everywhere. I wish you could have been there with me.
