    Baby Shower Sweet Tables

    March 13, 2012 | Posted by Charlotte Biesse

    Did you know that there is a new trend in the world of baby showers? That’s right, sweet tables are making an entrance in a big way. They’re a great way to display delectable treats and work double duty as a stunning focal point for the event.

    A fun idea for shower guests is to enjoy the sweet table goodies as party favours! Guests always love taking home sweet memories at the end of a special day.

    Get inspired and find a theme that really speaks to you. The theme can be anything from a reflection of your style and personailty to maybe a colour scheme you love. It always helps to work with an event planner, florist or designer to ensure your vision comes to life.

    Hiring a professional photographer for the shower is a great way to ensure the memories are captured. It gives friends and family a chance to really relax and be a part of the fun. You can leave the snapping up to the professional so you all can enjoy and be in the moment.

    If you have a baby shower to plan, why not do something especially sweet for the event. A sweet table is not only eye-catching but it will create a unique and memorable experience for the guests.

    Session Share: Bright Balloons and Textured Walls!

    February 22, 2012 | Posted by Amanda Skelte

    Inspiration: When this little girl’s mother told me about the firecracker she had for a daughter, I could not wait to use this urban location in our favor. Bright balloons, colored and textured walls, with a little bit of fall beauty thrown in was exactly what we needed to let her personality shine!

    Favorite Element: The genuine smiles and adorable faces that she gave me throughout the session. Nothing is better, as a photographer, than having a fun time with your clients.

    Biggest Challenge: Keeping up with this little cutie! I was about 8 months pregnant during this shoot ;)

    What the Client Said: They loved the images — and I was thrilled to be able to capture their daughter’s personality for them!

    Photographers’ Final Words: Matching a client with a location that fits them is key to a great session — don’t be afraid to ask your clients a lot of questions to get to know them well enough for a perfect location match!
