Wonderful at One: Quentin’s 1st Birthday

Leave a comment

Sometimes the stars align and suddenly I’m scheduled to cover two birthday parties in one day. Two parties, two locations, two different times – is that serendipitous or what?! After my afternoon at Travel Town, I scooted east to celebrate Quentin’s first birthday.

I LOVE first birthdays. I mean, I love remembering first everythings, to be quite honest. Knowing how unique each moment or each milestone is, it just makes you appreciate it all the more. Quentin’s first birthday was just one such moment.

Quentin running around his backyard, jumping with his dad in the bounce house, waiting for his balloon animal, smashing his hands into his cake – those are are just memories I know he may never remember, but ones his parents won’t ever forget, and I’m so happy I got to be there to help them keep these memories of his special day in tact.

License for Fun: Reagan’s 3rd Birthday

So energetic, so funloving – a complete and total hoot to be around. That’s Reagan. And knowing his parents for as long as I have (I went to high school and college with his mom, and college with his dad), it’s really no surprise why he’s such a great kid (as is his big brother, Riley).

Cars was the theme for Reagan’s 3rd birthday celebration, and what better place to party than Travel Town at Griffith Park. Other than Lightning McQueen keeping the area festive, there was a spot for train track play, an area to play with bubbles and of course, we went on a train ride.

It was a beautiful Summer day and Reagan was surrounded by his fun little friends. Oh to be a three-year old again…

Early Risers: The Boquiren Family

Leave a comment

7:30 am – that was the call time for my session with the Boquiren Clan, and it says a lot about a family who can look this good and be in such a great mood so early on a Saturday morning. It’s so funny, the familiarity you can develop with friends’ parents, siblings and family in general. I’ve known Larnie and Andrew since college (which was quite a time ago), and in that time, I’ve gotten to know their wonderfully kind and fun-loving family. Their house is always open to a rowdy group of friends and I never feel less than welcome every time I’m there.

Great job in front of the camera, everyone! What a great-looking collection of smiles!
