Korean 1st Birthday

Darling Sisters Katie and Keely {Simi Valley Family Photographer}

As usual, loved, loved, LOVED this fam! This was one of those shoots where I left feeling totally exhausted and soooo happy! Love that feeling - they just are the sweetest people and baby Keely and her older sis Katie were SO fun to photograph. It is nearing Keely's first birthday so she had the traditional Dol photographs and wore her amazing pink ensemble - even the grandparents were there to be in the images! Later little Keely changed into play clothes and we did some photos in the nursery where she peered into the hamper - something she often does that tickles her parents - I love when we can capture an element of a stage in a child's life that the parents want to remember and share with the kiddo later. :) At the end of the session, princess Katie got her own mini photo shoot with her Disney princess wedding dress on and convinced her Dad to wear his tux - ultimate cuteness! I feel like that is one of those classic shots that is unforgettable. Thanks guys - it was wonderful, here is a sneak peek, can't wait to share the rest!

Happy Birthday Aidan! {Dol Photographer Los Angeles}

I got to photograph sweet Aidan twice this month! The first time we did a family photography session in the park and just last week I documented Aidan's 1st birthday party at YongSuSan in Korea Town :) His mom (with the help of Sally at Harvest Event and Design) did an AMAZING job decorating for the party! The Dr. Seuss theme was SO adorable and very unique... there were thoughtful little touches absolutely everywhere. The family also provided a clown, balloon artist and face painter for the kids which kept them all thoroughly entertained while Event Plus kept the adults entertained with games of their own. The MC from Event Plus was an amazing addition, I never realized what a huge impact having an entertaining host made on an event! Here are a few of my favorite photos from Aidan's over the top party... enjoy!!

Happy 1st Birthday Graham! {Dol Photographer Los Angeles}

We photographed Graham's 1st birthday last weekend at Maggiano's at the Grove and wow was it a fun celebration! Graham's mom did an amazing job at decorating the party room and all the kids were so well behaved throughout the entire afternoon. The fortune telling ritual is always the most fun part of the party and dad was particularly excited when Graham picked the basketball :) Here are a few of our favorite images from Graham's party!

August Turns One! {Culver City Birthday Party Photography}

We love working with this family, they are so cool and the kids are awesome and so hysterical - we captured their images earlier this year when I met and photographed Baby August and his big bro Luca and had so much fun. Now they have had us come and capture August's 1st birthday party! Mom and Dad did such an amazing job putting together the gorgeous celebration at the Century Ballroom in Culver City - it was filled with laughter and friends and family all of whom seem to clearly adore each other. And check out the Grandpas - are they not the most well-dressed and dapper Grandpas around?! Love it! The food and decor was beautiful, elegant and so scrumptious! It was obvious all the kids were having a total blast - from the caricature sketch artist to cake time! Thanks for having us there to capture it :)

Lucas' 1st birthday at Gyenari { Los Angeles Birthday and Event Photography }

We had such a blast photographing Lucas' 1st birthday at Gyenari in Culver City. Not only do we LOVE Lucas and his parents but the Gyenari owners and staff were an absolute dream to work with and the food and atmosphere was incredible. As you can see from the photos, Lucas' mom did an amazing job at planning his party. Every little detail was thought out and the guests really enjoyed the food, ambiance, and entertainment... particularly the balloon artist! I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed capturing them!
