How incredible would it be to have a mom that planned parties for a living? Well, Miss Caitlyn is lucky enough to have a mom that does exactly that. Christine of Pure Joy Events has done it again and I was fortunate to have been asked to photograph one of the most creative 7th birthday parties ever. The theme was a "Vintage Sewing Birthday Party" and the kids had a ball doing sewing crafts and munching on creative sewing-themed treats. Christine found a vintage sewing machine to be the center piece of the entire party and spared no detail decorating it to perfection.
You can see Pure Joy Events Blog post here. You can also see a tutorial of the cake pops here.
This party was a huge success and has been featured in a number of places, including:
-Amy Atlas' Sweet Designs Blog
-The DIY hoop design also on the Sweet Designs Blog
-6 Bitter Sweets Blog
-The blog of Celebrations at Home
-The Honor Roll on Making it Lovely
I can't wait for more of another Pure Joy Events party!

A while back, I photographed Katy & Drew's engagement session at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. One of the backdrops we used was the St. John's Episcopal Church Ruins Well, that session led Chris to me even BEFORE he proposed to Callie!
Callie and Chris met in Hawaii (where Callie now lives), but they have spent much of their relationship apart since Chris was stationed in Georgia. Ever since the possibility of becoming engaged, Callie wanted to have the engagement shoot in front of church ruins. This lead to asking around, lots of google searching, the proposal, and finally the shoot!
