Photo-A-Day!: Garage Sale Gems

Happy Saturday everyone!

Ryan and I picked up this old Smith-Corona typewriter for $5 from last year's Riverside South Garage Sale to help give the house a little more character.  Surprisingly, it's still pretty functional for its age. With the addition of replacement ink, this would make a great prop for a save-the-date photo!

Ottawa Family Photographer :: Tessa's 1st Birthday Party

When Meg and Ray contacted me to cover their daughter Tessa's first birthday party, I was quite excited. Meg had a great vision for her "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" themed celebration and  had a lot of amazing do-it-herself, decorating ideas.  Meg and Ray threw a very spirited party, which even included a reading of the popular story book. They have a great set of friends and family and everyone was super excited to be celebrating Tessa's milestone. Here are few photos from the day. Enjoy!
