Cake, Candids, Laughter, Friends, and Diapers.
May 22, 2009 | Filed Under Andrea, Friends, Judah, Life Stuff, Photography, Photos
I know…. I’m so clever with my titles. It’s a gift, really.
Last night, we celebrated my friend Katherine’s impending arrival of son number two with a casual diaper party.
It was a beautiful night… nice and relaxing; there was a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake made by yours truly… and side-splitting laughter. Such a great time spent with good friends.
There were, of course, gobs of children running around…
Reggy-baby sticking close to her mama.
Ever adventurous Andy.
Beautiful Kendall who was a little hesitant to try the frosting. I think the brilliant mixture of peanut butter and cream cheese won her heart last night.
Judah ate all of his dinner! My boy got cake.
Zane aka ‘Child with the rocking-est hair ever.’
See? I wasn’t lying.
And wagon rides given by Chad.
My goal for last night was to capture only candid photos. I didn’t completely succeed…
There were a few posed ones…
But for the most part I was satisfied…
I won’t tell you what we were laughing about because it was completely gross. Yet, it was hilarious at the same time.
I have been wanting to work on being more comfortable behind the camera in casual group settings; capturing people as they truly are…
My friends were good sports though beautiful Catherine did yell at me once… but she’s all bark.
It was a terrific night with even the cake crumbs being eaten…

Wow, you really did get some great candids. The little girl “reggy-baby” is probably my favorite, but you caught such great expressions on all of the kids. Looks like fun!

Wow. Wow. Wow. These are simply amazing! You know what they remind me of? Do you remember the old LIFE magazine? (Life.com now I think).. I don’t remember it a ton, but I remember some of the pictures being very candid and natural like these..especially the old ones. I LOVE them! Some of your best EV-AH! And dang girl if I didn’t want to reach through the computer screen and eat a piece of that cake. It looked amazing!
Hi Andrea,
Is the blue dress the same one you bought at a yard sale in your teens? I remember you sharing that one time and you said you wear it at least once a year?
Still looking good after all these years! if its the same dress.

All your photos are fantastic, Andrea. But the one of Ever Adventurous Andy is breathtaking. What gorgeous eyes that child has! I wish I were even half the photographer you are – beautiful photos that capture all the moments of a great group of friends celebrating together.
