I was at a really fun photo shoot tonight that I came home all excited about, yet I have no images to show for it. I didn’t even take my camera! Crazy, right? When I left, I told my kids I was doing a little service (not that I’m bragging to them, but my kids need to know that not everything I do has a return). I like to use that word, they need to have it a part of their regular vocabulary and being. Anyway…I did a little mentoring for a friend who had a photo shoot. She’s newer to the game and she felt she needed assistance. She would have been fine on her own, but it was fun to play a back seat role and analyze things from a different perspective….whispering suggestions in her ear. The location was heavenly! Think acreage, barn, rustic vintage things, beautiful evening light, horses, all things Texas, and a fun family of 15 (mom+dad+6 adult kids+spouses+3 grandkids). The family was adorable and dressed all coordinated (but not matchy) and fun accessories–a photographers dream. Does that paint a good enough picture for you? I will link her images up once she posts them:) I know they are awesome, I peeked at them on the drive home.
Ok, that was enough babble…here are some pics I took for a friend at her daughter’s candyland birthday party last weekend (which coincidentally happened to be a service as well). The cake was fantastic (inside and out)! And who doesn’t like a table full of candy?!
P.S. Just merged my old blog with my new blogsite (yay)…take a look at the “archives” dropdown. Heehee, need to adjust those tags, but it will take a while. Going to bed now (1:04 a.m.)
She still has 2 months to go!
I also asked her to make this scarf with flowers on it–love it!
Then just last month, I realized I needed some diaper covers for newborns and why not have a matching hat? She got a pattern and whipped up a pink set and a blue set. LOVE.
Go to her blog and see some of her stuff. She is doing a giveaway for the “all seasons” scarf on her
