Ayla's Sweet 16 party was a blast! The Davenport in downtown Greer was a great place to be to celebrate Alya's birthday!
The Mardi Gras decorations were fabulous and the cake was stunning!
The birthday girl led the dancing party line around the dance floor!
The dancing continued all night long!
The night ended with letting the balloons go, and popping a few!
In a few weeks, I have the wonderful opportunity to shoot Ayla's Sweet 16 party. Back in November I posted a sneak peak for you. Ayla wanted her invitations to be a surprise to everyone when she handed them out after Christmas break. I don't blame her...I love surprises! Anyway, here is a copy of the invitation and some of my favorites from the photo shoot!
Okay, so some things I couldn't post on here before Christmas, due to the fact that they were going to be used as Christmas gifts. However, now I can!
I have to admit, I was a little worried when I got first email from a lady named Teresa wanting some pictures done for gifts. She told me she was a fifty-something year-old who is not very photogenic and wanted something of her with a red rose in the picture. So, of course right off the bat my mind is going crazy trying to think of what I'm going to do. I mean, I'm used to chasing little kids running around....having to lay on my stomach or whatever other positions I need to in order to get a great shot. Needless to say Teresa turned out to be great to work with and the pictures turned out wonderful! There was no need at all for me to worry! I hope that her family treasured their gifts, after all - you can never go wrong with giving pictures!
Here are my favorites...
It was great to meet you Teresa! Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to create these special memories for you!
Okay, so I let my blog get WAY behind! I was slammed with pictures before Christmas and was busy getting those done so everyone would have their prints back in time to give as gifts.
Anyway, I will be working on posting my favorites from everything I've done since the last blog entry. They will all be below this post because of the dates the pictures were taken, so check back soon and often and look down below! There are a good many sessions I haven't posted on!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a safe, happy New Year!
