Jewels at Jessie's Grove {Children}

Last month I took Jewels to my Jessie's Grove location. We were there for a while and went all over the property.




She had so much fun on the ropes.

And in the tire graveyard.





For being so young she's ready to pose at a moments notice.




And we had to play on the hay stack.

Jewels in the yellow flower {Children}

I've been wanting to do a shoot in these yellow mustard plants for more than two years now and here are the results with Jewels.

The sun was a little too much for her when it was streaming through the clouds and she need my sunglasses.

The yellow bumblebee chair was prefect since there were many bees around.

This was one of the first shots I took with the white, sliver and gold curly ribbon in her hair.

More playfulness with the chair and sunglasses.

Sitting in her little yellow mat and sunglasses.

Giving us her cute little charm.

And playing the the depth of field here.

More to come: Jewels at Jessie's Grove and commercial shots of jewelery from a local jeweler.

Sneak Peek: Jewels in the Yellow flowers {Children}

I took Jewels out to finally do my yellow mustard plant shoot that I have been wanting to do for the past two years.

Still didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. There were bees, and the sun in her eyes, and then the fall....but I did get some good shots.

Here is a teaser while I edit the rest.

Stayed tuned for the rest of this shoot and the Cowgirl shoot at Jessie's Grove.

Birthday Parties {Jewels' No. 4}

Jewels' fourth birthday took place at Check-E-Cheese and here are some of the shots from her day.

Above: She told her Mimi and Papa (Great grandma and great grandpa) that she wanted a pink cowgirl hat and she got one.

Below: Taken with my point-and-shoot without flash and the perfect moment.

After coming out of the huge slide at Check-E-Cheese with her cousin right behind her.

The big man himself.

Every birthday girl and boy get a chance to snag up as many tickets as they cane in this wind-blowing tube.

She didn't really catch any -- she just had fun win the wind.

The lady hosting her party gave her two big handfuls of tickets and daddy showed them off just some of them after stuffing the rest in his pockets.

Jewels asked for a Hello Kitty themed party and here's the Kitty cake that her mom made for her.

And the party favors for her pre-school classmates.
