The Princess is FOUR

If you hang out here much, you might remember this handsome guy's 2nd Birthday Party a few weeks ago. Well, today was his GORGEOUS sister's fourth birthday party! Jaylee had a costume party and let me just say, Mom outdid herself this time! There was a bounce house, pumpkin decorating, face painting, and delicious treats, not to mention yummy candid apples to take home! This party was so much fun for everyone and I am so glad I got to come take some cool pictures of some awesome kids!

80's, Baby?

It is apparently the season of parties! The same day of Sydney's Princess Party, we had a SURPRISE 80's Fortieth Birthday Party for her daddy, Chris! He was very surprised and we all had such a great time dressing up! Happy 40th, Chris? Keep on keepin' it real. :)

Princess Sydney and Her Royal Court

You know how special it is when your best friend's kids become your kids' best friends? This precious girl is the result of one of those situations. Jennifer and Chris have been our best friends for almost ten years, even though they have lived in Atlanta for roughly half of that time. They came up to Cleveland for Sydney's fifth birthday party and Jennifer asked me to take pictures of the party. We did this about two years ago, for Alivia's princess party as well. These girls had a BALL becoming princesses at The Princess Parlor downtown. Happy Fifth, Sydney... the Davis family loves you!!!

Two Looks Good on Cameron!

I was really excited when this adorably cute and funny little guy's mom asked me if I could take pictures at his 2nd Birthday Party. I have really enjoyed getting to know his mom, Jessica, and hanging out with he and his adorable sister, Jaylee. His daddy, Jay, is a bit of a legend in his own time (his own mind?). :) In all seriousness, this family is a real blessing to our church and I have been lucky enough to have gotten to photograph them at Christmas as well. Jessica did an awesome job planning his Florida Gators party, all the way down to the drink colors! Happy Birthday, sweet Cameron! You are one good-looking two year old!

"To the Least of These..."

Matthew 25:45 reminds us as Christians that we are called to minister to all people, including those who might not be able to appreciate us or even be aware of our ministry. However, it does not mention the earthly blessing that comes from this type of ministry. Royal Family Kids Camp is a yearly endeavor that our church, South Cleveland Church of God, hosts in the month of June. The mission of RFKC is to provide positive memories for children in the foster care system who have suffered from abandonment, abuse, or neglect. This week is one of the most dear to me in the whole year and I was so blessed to get to serve as camp photographer for a second year in a row. I can't post most pictures due to privacy issues, but I do have a few that might tell a piece of the story...
