i brought along my bag of tricks to this party.
the backgrop,

dance + party

jenchavezphoto — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:55:03 +0000

these girls had a great time learning some new dance steps at this party.
i tried convincing some of the boys to boogie, making a compelling argument about how they’ll thank me when they got to high school and knew how to boost a move and could ask girls to dance with them.
but they weren’t interested. they’ll remember me in a decade!

smiles + winks

i felt like i was shooting a montage scene in a romantic comedy with these 2 love birds.
when the camera was pointed at them, they were smiling.
when the camera wasn’t pointed at them, they were still smiling.
these college kids have an understanding of love beyond their years.

laughter + love

no need to tell these folks to say “cheese” it was non-stop laughter from beginning to end.
this family lives in 2 different states, and wanted to get take photos together to honor grandma’s birthday.
3 generations of love + laughter getting together, that’s something to smile about.

mother + daughter

as a kid, i remember how the sears catalog used to have little-house-on-the-prairie-type dresses that were available in mom and daughter size.
well, these 2 ladies are definitely too cool for those.
how about matching trendy tops and jeans?

snow + sunshine

how many south florida kids do you know that can play with snow in the sunshine with out wearing gloves?
i made some “snow” and we set out to have some fun.
the kids had a great time.
and we definitely got some stares. you’d do a double take too if you saw flying snowballs in 70 degree weather. ha!

4 decades + counting

mojitos and sliders and hookahs… on my!
if that doesn’t spell par-tay, i don’t know what does.
this birthday girl kicked off her next decade with quite the celebration.
i wonder what the party will be like for the big 5-0. (no rush though)

champagne + strawberries

you have to love the color combination at this shower.
the bride + groom are having an exciting destination wedding in the Dominican Republic.
who doesn’t love a little champagne on a Sunday afternoon?
you know your loved when your big brother shows up to an all-ladies shower to help out.

belly + boats

these new parents wanted some fun outdoor shots before welcoming their new little one.
mom and dad love the ocean and boating, so there’s no doubt that baby will too.
she’s one lucky little girl, so blessed to have such loving parents who can’t wait to meet her.
