Alliday Everyday Craft Show {Event}

Two of my close friends Briana and April are brilliant jewelry artists, who together create SheezKrafty.  They participate in many craft shows around the state throughout the year, as well as set up at the weekly Flea Market in Tulsa occassionally.   On June 26th, they put on Alliday Everyday- an amazing handmade craft show that features incredibly talented local artists.  This was their premier show, and the overwhelmingly positive and excited feedback have guaranteed this show will be an annual event (and can we dare hope semiannual??  please, oh please!)  A long while back they had asked me to be the event photographer, and I couldn't have been more thrilled and honored to be a part of it!  The show had some of the most gifted local artists, and all their wares in the show were required to be handmade which made it even that much more special.  I loved SO many of the stunning items there that I spent way too much money, but then again... not nearly enough!  I still want so many other things, so I'll be contacting some of the artists on their websites AND attending the next Alliday Show for sure!  Here are some of the images from the day, so take a peek... and plan to attend the next show!

The Alliday Show made Saturday's front page of the Tulsa World's "Scene" section on the day of the show!

Here are the Alliday Everyday hostesses... Briana and April:

Miss L's 1st Birthday Party! {1 Year}

My friend S and her husband B asked me to capture their baby daughter's big milestone - her 1st Birthday party!  I was thrilled... and honored.  Both of their girls are tiny beauties!  And Birthday Girl L is the smiliest, cutest little red-headed baby ever.  (Is smiliest a word?  Well, it is now. Smiley-est?)  Take a look!

The S Family {Easter Pictures}

Here she is again - that adorable Miss E!  Getting bigger by the minute.  Her mom, one of my BFFs R, was kind enough to invite me to her mom's house to have Easter dinner and some egg-hunting with her family.  It was a glorious and relaxing day with good food and even better friends.  While watching the baby girl run around finding eggs, I snapped a few pictures of my friend and her beautiful family...

   

Miss E's 1st Birthday Party! {1-Year}

Before I show you Little Miss E's 1-year photoshoot, I just had to post a few pictures of her birthday party, which I was honored to be able to attend!  (My friend Mommy R even made sure it was planned for the weekend before I was scheduled to be out of town... even though the next weekend was closer to E's actual birthday... just to make sure I was able to attend.  Oh and for her mom too :) I appreciate that because I SO wanted to be there for the momentous milestone of the sweetest E!)  Here are a few snapshots of the lovely day...

Miss E has some lunch in her PJs before the party begins...

Decorations and Elmo yummies were beautifully in place...

Miss E (left), and her Cousin V (right) have fun playing. 

Doesn't he look like a munchkin of fun, energy and mischief!...

Daddy W (middle) and the other Daddies had some good guy convo,

while the Mommies and babies played...

Presents were opened, but E didn't seem too excited. 

But Mommy R was!...

Miss E's first taste of cake.  She didn't seem too enamored by it, to her mommy's relief...

A hug pic with Mom with the big 1-year-old!...
