Charlie's Cake Smash

 Charlie came back to the studio to celebrate his first birthday with a cake!  We had to get some fall photos before things got messy.  For some reason, Charlie did not want to touch the sunflowers, so we moved on to the crate.  He's grown so much and didn't really like being in the crate.  In general, he just seemed to be a bit unsure about me and this whole thing we were doing.  I changed the arrangement so he could sit on top of the crate, but he quickly moved down to the blanket.  I don't know what it was about that blanket, but he lit up as soon as he touched it.  Then he grabbed it and started playing peekaboo behind it.  It was precious!  But that wasn't the main event, so we cleared the area, set it up with our Winnie the Pooh theme, and brought out the most adorable cake which was made by Dulces Pasteles (Sweet Cakes) by Mamash.  Charlie quickly grabbed icing and began spreading it everywhere.  He made quite a mess in just a few short minutes as he was clearly having the time of his life.  We convinced him to stop playing long enough to taste the icing.  His face once again lit up as he realized it was yummy food!  He's such a sweet little guy!  💗

afO's The Dreadful Journal of Phoebe Weems Cast

Unfortunately, all for One is not able to do live performances of this show.  They are recording this instead.  So, I was not able to take pictures of this production, but we just had to get a photo of the cast!  They've worked hard and this show is going to be even better because it's a recording!

I'm going to be buying my ticket so I can view this online when it is released.  You can buy tickets by going to: https://allforonefw.org/event/the-dreadful-journal-of-phoebe-weems/

 

Zach's Proposal!

I was SO ecstatic to get the text from Zach that he wanted to hire me to capture the moments while he proposed.  I have known Zach for a very long time, and my heart is so happy that he met Sandy and that she said yes!  Congratulations Zach and Sandy!!  I hope you are able to really enjoy this next step in your lives together!

afO's The Dreadful Journal of Phoebe Weems Promos

 It's been a quiet couple of months for me.  I was so glad that I could finally get out and do some pictures again!  These are the promotional pictures I took for all for One's next production, The Dreadful Journal of Phoebe Weems.  I'm extra excited about this one because it was written by Michael Wilhelm (no relation to me in case you were wondering).  This is going to be a special play because the mother and daughter you see in the first picture are not just pretending - they are mother and daughter in real life!

Phoebe, age 12, has a problem. She’s afraid of … well, basically everything. Will writing and drawing her fears and locking them in a notebook help? Not if a gang of bullies gets a hold of it. Her parents, a psychologist, and her best friend all try to help. But true help may come from the unlikeliest of places. Another world premiere comedy/drama from Michael Wilhelm (Turtle Soup, Bentley). RATED PG FOR THEMES

Abigail Ruth

This sweet little girl was a week old when she came in for her session.  We got Abigail all settled, but shortly after I started taking pictures, she woke up.  She stayed awake the rest of the session which meant I got to stare at those beautiful baby blue eyes!  I couldn't believe how alert and expressive she was!  We had a great session!

Abraham Evan

This little guy was the first one back to my studio!  I was so glad I was able to do his newborn session, even though he was a month old when I met him.  He stayed awake the whole time, but he was very sweet.  He was a strong little guy that easily got out of every wrap I put him in, but that didn't stop me from trying to keep him wrapped up.  😊

ShunTaya's Senior Session

ShunTaya wanted to include her girls in her session which was fine with me!  However, we had quite a bit of trouble finding a time that worked and safe place to do her mini session, but we finally figured it out, and I'm glad it worked out!  We ended up at Foster Park, and it was pretty busy with many other photographers, but we were able to work around them and have a fun time.  She has a sweet family, and I wish her all the best!  😊
