Fadazzle Wazzle

We went to Fadazzle Wazzle yesterday!! Fadazzle Wazzle is an event our church MCA puts on for the children each year. There's always a theme, this year it was "Out of this world". So, aliens. Since I'm somewhat obsessed with Halloween and making the perfect costume for my daughter (and now son) I can't ever seem to go along with these themes. Valley had a blast, walking around with her 2 best friends Violet and Mia. They were a small parade of winged cutness.




Everywhere they went people stopped and aww'd. This is my favorite photo of the night. Well, it's actually one of my favorite photos of Valley ever. It just seems to capture her whole being in a nutshell!



I wasn't overly thrilled with her costume this year, so next year I will be putting in extra effort to make it perfect! Plus, there was just one too many bee's. I have a brillant idea for next year and NO ONE will think of it but me :D



You know how hard it is to get a good family photo...so here is our best one :P



And one of me and Lyric just for fun :)

Landon [Alaska Child Photographer]

I went to school with Tristen's sister Stephanie and to church with her family. It was very exciting when Tristen had Landon and now he's 3 years old!! Tristen had warned me that he might be shy, but she couldn't have been more wrong!! He was a ball of energy and we got lots of fantastic shots of him having fun!

Baby Lane [Alaska Baby Photographer]

This was a referal from the Seay (Izzy and Canaan). This family was so fun and this little one was so full of joy! His eyes are piercing blue and he did a fantastic job even at only 7 months. It makes me excited for when my little guy is 7 months!

Israel and Canaan [Alaska Child and Sibling Photographer]

I also met these 2 adorable boys when they were born! Canaan was a super grump the whole time but livened up when we got to the swings and Izzy was a ham! We had to climb up and over a fence with the boys for the train track shot but I think it was worth it. I hope their parents do too ;)

Jaden [Alaska Child Photographer]

I remember visiting Dana in the hospital when she had her precious baby boy, Jaden.

Now he's walking and she's expecting another baby boy in March! It's very neat when I get to photograph a friends baby, and Jaden was no exception. We happened upon a gorgeous bull moose and Dana was daring enough to let me capture this photo. Which just happens to be one of my favorite to date!

Colin and Wren [Alaska Child Photographer]

Colin and Wren, what can I say? They have such and adorable relationship. Both have the "essence of child" about them. To describe them in 2 words? Whimsical and free. Perhaps this is because their mama is so whimsical and free. =)

Sweet Penelope [Alaska Child Photographer]

I had the privilege of photographing someone that is very dear to me today! Penelope Cardenas. I've "known" her and her mama since she was only 5 weeks old. Look how little Valley is! The last 2 years have just flown by!




Janelle is expecting baby #2 now, and I'm honored to have been asked to photograph her birth. Can't wait until the big day! Penelope was a joy to photograph!
