Several weeks ago, I looked at the calendar and noticed my daughter, Sophie, would soon be turning seven. With the date fast approaching, I began to consider my options…
- Sleep over?– Who ever sleeps!?
- Bowling? – She’s seven and can’t really bowl. I’m pretty sure none of her friends are avid bowlers either. It would be fun I guess but would be over too quickly.
- The soft-play entertainment place here in town? Too expensive.
- Traditional party at my home? That would mean I’d have to clean.
Well…then it dawned on me! (I’m almost embarrassed to say that it didn’t cross my mind sooner.) How about a “GLAMOUR GIRL, Photo Shoot, Birthday Bash” at our studio?! When Sophie heard the idea she was ecstatic! She made up a list of guests that included her cousins and closest playmates. Then we got planning.
We were blessed to have a beautiful, sunny day. When the girls arrived at 2pm, we had each of them go to “wardrobe”. Once they found their favorite look, they went to hair and make-up. They were able to watch the transformation in a large mirror as we turned them in to little models for their photo shoot. I think my favorite moments in the day were the ones where I was able to watch the girls smile as we doted on them. Once the shoot was done, we sang Happy Birthday to Sophie and opened gifts.
Stephanie and I made tasty treats inspired by Pinterest and I made a four layer cake with my mom’s homemade butter icing. As they left, each of the girls took home an adorable frame that will soon be filled with a picture from their photo shoot. Here are some of the highlights from the party.
Highlights!
