First Day of School-Jacksonville Family Photographer

Today my youngest started Kindergarten and my oldest started 4th grade! Bella woke up quite excited, the same way she has every day for the past 3 weeks. Preston, woke up letting us all know how much he hates school and today was going to be awful. Fortunately for me, the both still let me take all the pictures I want! I even followed Preston to his class this year, taking pictures discreetly with my camera phone so he wouldn't know. Bella was, of course, the tallest person in her class (she got lucky and has a wonderful teacher who is also very tall). Here are a few pics of Bella on her first day and a montage of Preston's first day for the past 4 years...

Invitation for Fun-Jacksonville Family Photographer

Bella and I had a little session not too long ago because the invitations for her birthday party have a place to put a picture on them. So we quickly put an impromptu party outfit on (fit for any 6 year old) and ran to the store for some balloons. I think I learned a fabulous lesson...kids smile uncontrollably when they are holding balloons, they just can't help it! We had a lot of fun and now we have to decide which one to use...any suggestions?

Party Planning-Jacksonville Family Photograper

So Bella's 6th birthday is quickly approaching so I turned to the best party planner in town to help me out this year. Ok, so I might be a little biast, but my sister Jamie is simply fabulous! I kind of had an idea in my head of what I wanted and she presented me with this storyboard to get things started:



It's nice to have someone to help, that way I don't have to stress out about the details like I normally do... She is working on her website, and as soon as it's up, I'll let you know!
