A beautiful baby shower.

What an absolutely adorable shower this was! The venue was a little out of the ordinary, but very original and also very perfect. I absolutely loved it, and everything was set up so beautifully. Past life secret: I used to work with 2 of the pretty ladies photographed below. ;)

love story.

as you can see by the photos, the play was

a HIT! (so hilarious!)

I've said this a lot already...but I will say it again (on my website). I have VERY high expectations for my own 40th Anniversary party, after witnessing thing one. There was a big turnout, delicious food, a beautiful home, a sentimental slideshow, and a hilarious play. All the guests were saying that this was the best anniversary party they had ever been to. It was my first (that I can remember!) and I think it will, too, be the best. I was hired to be a photographer, but would have PAID to be a guest. It was that wonderful. Congratulations C family.

I went for a beautiful drive down I-5 (the weather could not have been more beautiful!) to take some photos at a reallllly beautiful bridal shower yesterday. Above are just some from my DSLR camera. I have yet to get the film processed from my favorite old-school nikon, (that is where I have group shots and more family shots!) I have a busy week ahead, but check back later for more photos!
