A little girl's birthday bash!

So Kayleigh is pretty much... well, pretty much the cutest thing we've had the privilege of taking photos of thus far. I've never seen a kid her age have so much personality and expression. Travis & Carol put together this amazingly adorable birthday party for her and asked us to come out to Lemoore to shoot it. We met both of their friends and families, and of course, the guest of honor- Kayleigh. She was just a ball of energy allllll day... and when it came time to open the- what looked like millions of presents sitting, waiting for her on the fireplace- she was ecstatic! As any 2 year old girl should rightfully be.

All in all we had an awesome time with Carol, Travis and their adorable little girl. Their family was just full of really sweet people and the love in the room for that little one was simply palpable. Thank you Coulters for the fun day and please, invite us back for good food, cake and photos at Kayleigh's 3rd, 4th, 5th...... :)

A Toddler-Filled Evening

Arroyo Grande Preschool invited us back to shoot their open house last week! And honestly, I have to say, this was certainly better than any open house of mine growing up. I have vague memories of the awkwardness of seeing your classmates after school hours with their parents, teachers giving long, boring talks about the upcoming school year & desperately trying to find your quintessential open house art work on the walls to show your family. This was nothing of the sort. There were toys, hot dogs, kittens.... and... are you ready for this...? A BOUNCE HOUSE! Every kid's favorite party accessory. And obviously, these kids had a blast- bouncing, screaming, running & playing around the backyard of the preschool. Here are some of our shots to document their evening. :)
