Anvitha's First Birthday Party!

I had the privilege of shooting 4 birthday parties over the course of the summer, and this was the first of them! 

This was my first time shooting at Temple Israel.  I love it there because, not only is it nice on the inside, but there are some very sweet little gardens all around the building that are great for snagging a few quick portraits. 

I also had the help of my friend Liz.  I always appreciate her coming, not only for the company, but also because she is the queen of the detail shot!



Anvitha's party was all about orange and the ABCs!


All the balloon art and face painting was handled by Sarah - she always does a great job!!!






I stole the birthday girl away when she first got there for some portraits!

























































Thanks, Venkat, for inviting me to shoot your daughter's party!  It was a lot of fun!

Carter's 6 Month Pictures

You met baby Carter when I did his newborn pictures, and you got reacquainted with him for his 3 month pictures.  Before we knew it, it was already time for his 6 month pictures!  When Christine and I were discussing a location for the shoot, she suggested the train track at the end of her road.  Of course I agreed; I am always game for a train track shoot!  What I didn't know was it was a SECRET train track, hidden from the road by a forest, with a view of Tom Brown Lake on the other side.  It was a gorgeous location for pictures, and I'm pretty sure I clapped my hands in excitement more than once.

Christine requested that I bring my suitcases.  Carter was about to be making a trip to his grandma's, and they wanted to send her some pictures ahead of time to build some excitement.  Suitcases and train tracks, I have found, are a very nice mix!

























































Thanks, Christine and Cayce, for inviting me to come back!  I'm really enjoying watching Carter grow up!
