We shot our new Splash Bash collection last Tuesday at a local splash pad (free water park with huge sprinklers, water guns and bucket water falls). We had eight models ranging in age from 4 to 12 (because let’s face it, there is no age limit on water fun), over 100 water balloons, lots of snacks, and some …
Wow has this week gone by in a blur! We had a new collection shoot on Tuesday (sharing the invitation next week), I’m prepping for my youngest son’s fifth birthday party this weekend (last year’s was the dino-ROAR), I’m working on giving my girl here {my blog} a face lift, and I now have images to share from our …
I mentioned on twitter and facebook last Friday that my boys were hosting a mini-luau playdate for their friends. That’s right! They worked on the decorations, “cleaned” the windows and put the cushions out on the deck. (They’re only six and four so it was really sweet to see them care so much about the appearance of things before their …
I love the idea of sitting down to a party with a little treat already at arms length, because let’s face it, young or old, it’s difficult to be so close to so many treats and wait. {wink} So for our recent art party collection I worked with my cookie partners at Sweet Tooth Cottage to create …
I actually planned to show you more of our recent art party photo shoot today, until I received this fabulous mad scientist party from our customer, Cindy. She and the birthday boy, Hayden, planned this party together for almost a year. In her words, “Hayden loves science and wanted his friends to enjoy some fun science …
I really enjoy receiving pictures from customers. It just makes my day to see those happy little faces and all the smart details the parents pull together. Just recently we received a note from our customer, Jen. She wrote “Thank you so much for the ideas and inspiration! From the invitations to the how-to tulle napkin rings, my daughter’s …
We’re working on three fabulous summer collections right now, all being shot in the month of June. Needless to say we’re crazy busy, but honestly I’m loving it. The craft room and studio are full of DIY ideas and props and my kitchen is a mess some days as I work to come up with fun …
As you can imagine, I just love taking pictures of my kids (and their friends… and desserts… and really all things pretty or interesting). So when we were planning our new art party collection, we of course had to have a photo op for the kids. My best advice: use a neutral background, clear of all …
For the third post in our new art birthday party series (#1 art party Crayola crayon craft, #2 create an art gallery) I styled an easy art party dessert table using two sizes of clear paint cans for serving dishes, mini easels (spray painted white for displaying the dessert tags) and bold damask blue fabric; all three items from JoAnn …
As I mentioned in my last post, our newest collection is an art birthday party. This collection was so fun to create. And when we thought about activities for the kids there were so many great ideas, but my favorite was sharing their art in a gallery. A little side note, before I became a mom I used …
