I’m so excited to share a few photos from a commissioning ceremony I photographed a few weeks ago. Initially, I was hesitant to accept the job since I was still on maternity leave, but felt so incredibly honored and privileged to take part in this special day. “J” was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps last December and was celebrating a second ceremony locally with friends and family.

Just wrapped up shooting another fabulous party for Ava’s mermaid-themed fourth birthday. Her birthday bash was held at their backyard in Orange County. The children were entertained by a jumping castle, an appearance by Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and face painting! And more importantly, Ava looked absolutely adorable in her purple and teal ruffled skirt. Happy Birthday Ava!

This lucky boy’s room is decorated with a monkey theme so it only expected the baby shower would follow suite!

Dean celebrated his 9th birthday at Scooter’s Jungle last weekend. This place is incredible! A HUGE slide, several bouncing play yards, air hockey, and ping pong tables. The room was filled with laughter and bright big smiles.

I attended a lovely baby shower this past Saturday for an old co-worker. I was also recruited to design the invitations. The afternoon was lovely and I can’t wait to meet this little fellow!

We celebrated our son’s FIRST BIRTHDAY today. Here is a few photos from the festivities. Aren’t the cupcakes adorable! My sister-in-law & mother-in-law baked those!
