One of my favorite parts about this job is getting to photograph people who are close to me. This lovely lady is not part of my family but she might as well be. She is the daughter of my brother-in-law’s brother. Got that? I’ve know her since she was a little girl and now she’s Sweet 16. Isn’t she gorgeous??



The party was a carnevale theme so everyone had masks. Here are Olivia’s.

She had on a beautiful black and white dress. She looked like a princess headed to the ball. Hurry up or else you’ll be late …

One of the reasons I love Olivia is her sense of humor. She’s a silly girl so that makes for some fun pictures. Love this one!!

Those other two beauties up there are my nieces.The one on the left is a fantastic photographer (I taught her everything I know!) I hope one day she’ll come join me and we can work together.


After Miss Olivia made her grand entrance into the party, she danced with her daddy. Usually when I come home from work, I’ll upload my pictures and go through them to sort out the good from the bad. There are a ton of pictures that will inevitably end up on the cutting room floor and this is one that I might have ditched because it was too dark, but I really love the outline of the two of them dancing. Maybe it’s just me.

Ok so here’s the prettier shot. Daddy’s little girl. Awwww!

The best part is about half way through the song, the music changed and Olivia and her dad started busting moves on the dance floor. Hilarious! Look at everyone in the background.

Oh and I can’t go through this post without mentioning that Olivia has an adorable valentine. Don’t they make a cute couple?

A few more fun shots and then I’m off to bed. D family, thanks for having me tonight. It was good to see you all again.

You girls crack me up! Apparently, they just won the Miss America Pageant.
