Richard & Shellye's Wedding Reception

Last weekend I also attended a wedding reception. The reception was for a couple that got married in Vegas, but wanted to have a reception for those that couldn't go to Vegas. I made the cake and cupcakes for this event. I always say I won't make cakes for weddings, but somehow I always say yes :) We made the cake and cupcakes with a Dallas Mavericks theme. She had the cutest bobbleheads made for the topper, and the cake read "husband and wife, and Mavs fans for life." IT was super cute. I was also asked to photograph the reception. I've recently been thinking about pursuing photography as a career, so I was excited for my first paid job. I was also pretty nervous! Everyone that RSVP'd didn't make it, so some of the things that were planned (cutting the cake, throwing the boquet) didn't happen. But I think I got some pretty good pictures.

Aidan's 1st Birthday

Last weekend I attended a very special little boy's birthday party. Aidan is just the cutest little boy and oh so photogenic. It was hard to pick out my favorite photos, but here are some. If you'd like to see the all click here.

The birthday cake I made. I have to give myself a pat on the back for this one.

His smash cake was a treasure map. How cute!

Memorial Day

This Memorial Day I went over to my uncle's for a little cookout and swimming. After years of working retail and the service industry I'm pretty used to not having off on holidays. This year I was lucky because I only had to work the night shift. So we headed over to my uncle's around 11am. I spent time relaxing in the pool and ate a yummy burger before I had to head out.

When I got home I quickly discovered that sunscreen was no match for this Texas sun. Now I am in almost unbearable pain. Working that night was no fun with this burn, but luckily I had today off. I'm hoping for a swift recovery!
