My baby is 4!!!

Jadyn turned 4 last week, which I seriously cannot believe. She is the delight of Tony and my life!!! We feel so blessed to be her parents and we truly cherish her! Happy birthday to my sweet baby girl! (Also, it has been nice taking a few weeks off just to enjoy being a parent. I will be off until the end of March!!!)

Jadyn's amazing cake Princess Cake by All Iced Up Cookies and Confections. Jessica, owner, also made Jadyn some adorable cookies. If you have any special occasion, she makes the BEST cookies in the world, just so you know! You can find her by searching for her name on Facebook...become a FAN for sure!

Marjie & Cal :: Married

Marjie and Cal got married on a beautiful February day. It had been freezing and I was hoping and praying that their wedding weekend would be warm and nice. And guess what, it was! It was such a perfect February day! Here are some of my favorite wedding pictures from their amazing day!

Here are some details shots from the day...

Favorite of Marjie!!!


Favorite of Cal!!!














Pictures of the couple...some of my favorites ever!

Alright, I have NEVER had a bride with a cathedral length veil. Crazy, after 4 years, but it is true, so I was beyond excited when Marjie had one. Here is my fav. of the day!!! Man alive, I love this veil!!!




So happy to be married...




These are some of the sweetest dancing pictures ever.




LOVE that sweet smile of Marjie!


And then the dancing began...it was so much fun!




Cal and Marjie, congrats!!! I am so glad that I was able to share in your big day with you both!

Lexi's 1st Birthday Party!!

Lexi is 1!!!!! I was so excited when Lisa contacted me to do the pictures at Lexi's amazing princess party! Check out some of the amazing details of the day...Lisa did ALL the details. She is incredibly talented, which made this an extra fun birthday for me to shoot!


The sweets table was incredible!! I especially loved the "Smash Cake" that had a tierra. Everything was just gorgeous!!




Here was my favorite detail of the day by far, the Wishing Tree. All the guests wrote their own personal wishes for Lexi. Plus it was gorgeously decorated with pearls and pictures of Lexi from the past year.


And here is the princess herself...looking gorgeous!


One of my favorite things to do at a birthday party is to "steal away" the family for a brief set of family pictures!


Here is Lexi with her big brother JL. He is such a great big brother!


Here is JL rocking out a few photos of his own...


Lexi's smile is contagious!! I loved any time I could get her to smile or laugh because she was just beyond cute.


CAKE TIME...and she was so cute and dainty!


But don't worry, she did get into the cake...eventually and looked like this...




Presents...


I LOVE this picture! Too cute!


And last but not least, an entire group photo...Lexi was surrounded by LOTS of people who loved her!
