I made the decision this summer to discontinue ‘small events’ from my photography offering. While it’s exciting to be moving in a different direction with my business I’ll always have a soft spot for the parties and milestone events that helped to guide me toward larger opportunities! That being said, I still have plenty of ‘personal’ projects that will satisfy my need to shoot sweet details and party with the little ones. Which brings me to an overdue blog on my own Gigi’s 6th birthday. We are a big ‘theme’ family and I absolutely LOVE taking a general idea and expanding it to celebrate each of my kid’s birthdays. Gigi seems to be following in my footsteps and pretty much starts planning her next year’s party about 3 hours after the current year party is concluded. Last year (following a fun school themed fling with a monster mix in) she informed me that when she turned 6 she wanted an ‘ice cream party’. Say no more sweet girl…one old fashioned ice cream social coming up! I love how this pastel and ice cream inspired party came together complete with a DIY ice cream sundae station and jumpy house entertainment (is it really a party without one?). Add in a surprise addition of one of our FAVORITE Italian ice shops (in coordinating colors of course) http://www.ritasice.com and we had a little something for everyone! Such a sweet way to celebrate my sweet girl on her special day. Next up, plans for a certain first born son that turns into a teenager in a few months…yikes!
