Sixty Something Birthday: Beverly

How would you celebrate your birthday when you're sixty something? Beverly chose to celebrate hers without the second digit. The only thing that she wanted everyone know was that it was her day. Tonight was just that. As you can see she had a great time with her family as she posed and laughed for the camera. Happy Sixty Something Birthday Beverly!

Happy 2nd Birthday Nolan

There is a good reason for why I have been M.I.A! For the past couple weeks we have been busy planning and running errands for my baby boy's 2nd birthday! We started the soirée with a fun filled night at Chuck E. Cheese with a few family and friends on his actual birthday. Then had the big birthday bash a few days later. The day couldn't have been more perfect. Great weather, lots of food and the company of family and friends. Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Maya and Aidens Birthday at Yorba Regional Park

Happy Birthday Maya and Aiden! Together they celebrated their birthdays at Yorba Regional Park. It was a nice day, weather was fantastic, perfect for a BBQ. Maya turned 5 and Aiden, 2. They celebrated with a Toy Story theme with everyone wearing Woody's hat to a Toy Story jumper. All the kids had a great time in the jumper, including myself. I experimented with taking photos of the kids jumping. This was not an easy task. Take a look for yourself at the entire album, Click Here.
