They’re plump, They’re Sweet… | California Children’s Photographer

Look at these adorable little creatures!  Do they not look so yummy?!?  This is such a fun, if not messy, activity for a rainy day.  The idea was inspired by a vintage how-to by McCalls, but of course, I improvised and worked with what candy we had in the candy jar.  🙂

Don’t worry, these animals are still ‘living’ and I pinky-swear they will not be devoured.  The rest of the marshmallows were not so lucky, though….

Wow!  I keep getting emails and calls from people wanting to see MORE details from little B’s first birthday party.  Well, I scraped a few together tonight and voila!  Here’s a snapshot of the sweetest party for my baby girl.  She was full of silly, scrunchy faces that day…and so darn adorable when everyone watched as she devoured her red velvet cupcake.  What a nut….my sweet little peanut!  (missed half a dozen pics on the first attempt at this post…so check below to see the a more complete view of the event.  AND, I’m so honored by my dear friends:  Jen Wilson who drove up for the day–and back again–to help me photograph all the details, and Jennifer Ayres who tag teamed with Tracey to help get the party off the ground.  I love you girls!!!)

Champagne Ruffles Is What She Wore | Modern Kids Portraits

We had a little shin-dig on Sunday.  Well, it wasn’t really *little*.  In fact, it was quite the affair…filled with flowers, butterflies, letters and love!  Friends and family travelled from near and far to come and celebrate the littlest Maksoudian.  The sun shone.  The children played.  My heart was filled with joy!  Here’s a glimpse at some of the details:
