Hayley’s 5th Birthday Party

Do you remember that magical day when you turned 5 and the only thing you had to worry about was how much cake you could sneak before everyone else got their booger ridden hands on your birthday goods? Honestly, I don’t because I never had an awesome birthday like this one held for Hayley! At Amy’s Playground in Pasadena, they had everything from doll houses, a bounce house, a bucket ‘o’ toys and everything you could ever want as an adult. I mean kid. I mean… I’m not jealous.

With a pull-string pinata, a disney princess cake, and those half-red, half-yellow cars that kind of look like mini coopers, it was a ton of fun for both the young and the young at heart. That’s right—prepare to put a down payment on a house. A bouncey one.

And the sibling rivalry begins as little brother is less than thrilled. Gotta love it!

Kaitlyn’s Baptism (Bautizo)

Let me just start by saying that baby Kaitlyn is a blessing in herself and is up there in the ranks of most adorable babies EVER. Not that I keep a list or anything though. #awkwardsilence. Anyway, while all of the other kids were crying, Kaitlyn was an absolute angel (pun intended) and took her baptism like a champ! Mario and Karina also had an amazing baptism set that they specially brought just for her which was beauty in itself! Afterwards, they had an intimate after party that was decorated by the man himself: Mario! His dad worked at a party supply store, so he put his balloon blowing skills on display, not to mention the bunting and all of the other trimmings. I’m so lucky to have attended baby Kaitlyn’s bautizo and blessed to capture her special day for her and her parents! And of course, thanks to Nancy for the heads up and coordinating everything!

Marie + Josh Wedding

You know the saying “haste makes waste?” Well let’s just say that for Marie and Josh, haste makes for a ridiculously cute and cozy backyard wedding. With just two days of planning (two days!), they were able to have decor, delicious home-made food (Jewish food may be my new favorite food) and loved ones come together for a heart-warming ceremony. In the short time I got to know Marie and Josh, I learned that they were very easy-going, spontaneous people. That, combined with extreme gratitude for everything and everyone, Marie and Josh reminded me that taking leaps of faith don’t have to be that scary. It can actually lead to moments that change your life, fill your heart with love—take your breath away. I’m so happy to have shared and captured their special day with them, and wish them all the happiness in the world!

Check out their intimate backyard-beach wedding, and remember, “Just bee yourself!”
