A Picnic Party

If you are in need of cute birthday party inspiration for a summer picnic theme, you can take some ideas from this mom!  I'm always amazed at what this creative lady can pull together, and even while she is pregnant!!

It was a hot summer day but it was a fantastic party!  And the Elmo cake was pretty tasty too - especially all the frosting on the eyes ;)

Summer Sunshine

Labor Day is just around the corner which means school, fall, pumpkins, and Halloween candy aren't far behind (candy corn, yummm!).  But looking through these family photos all I can think of is SUMMER!!  Make sure to enjoy this last month of summer before fall officially comes around on Sept. 22, because by then you'll have to start looking for your Halloween costume :)

County Fair Engagement

This was an amazingly fun engagement session at the Anoka County Fair this summer!  Who wouldn't love to take photos at a location that sells cotton candy?!  I'm looking forward to this couple's 2014 wedding!

And now the big question is, who's going to do fair engagement photos next summer??  You should probably hire me ;)   I'm always up for a cotton candy fix.

Cello Time

This is my pretty little sister!  She is finishing up her Master's Degree this year and if you can't tell it has something to do with the cello  :)  I thought she probably might need some photos for all those recital programs!

My kids came along to hang out with Auntie and my daughter thought it was her turn for photos...  

My kids love their Auntie!

Watermelon

The perfect summer birthday food - watermelon!  And turns out it's a pretty cute photo prop too.
