IsaBELLEa is 3!

I was just a little older than Miss Izzy when the first Beauty and the Beast movie came out...so I can totally relate to her love of the story and the characters! And of course I love that I'm able to share this cute session just in time for the release of the new, live-action Beauty and the Beast!
Sometimes I get to relive my childhood through sessions like these...this was a fun one and I hope you enjoy!
Oh, and I bet you can't scroll through these without singing all the songs!

Charles and Jenny

I am so happy I had the opportunity to help with my friends Charles and Jenny's wedding!  I enjoyed playing the slightly less stressful role of right hand woman to my friend and fellow event planner Melissa's headmistress of wedding plans!  One of the things I did for this particular wedding ended up being one of the creations I'm most proud of to date.  The Bride asked for a decorated aisle...so I set to work to give her just that!

I spent about an hour and a half in this position...but SO worth it!

6 gallon-size bags of pink petals later: the finished product!

Dustin and Rina's Mountain Engagement

I was thrilled to be asked by my friend Dustin to set the stage for his proposal to Rina.  Apparently my rose petal overload is a big hit for proposals!  I was told that he would be proposing on a hill with a pretty view...what I was NOT told was that his spot was on the top of a mountain that could only be reached by a very steep 20 minute hike...and the fact that I was 6 months pregnant did not help matters.  But I made it to the top and I'm so glad I did and that I got to be a part of their special day. : )

Roy and Cynthia's Yellow Engagement

My Husband and I were among the first of all our friends to get married.  So when Roy came to us and announced that he'd be proposing to Cynthia, we were so excited!  And when he asked if I'd help him "set the stage" for his proposal, I jumped at the chance.  He gave me very little instructions.  All he said was that he wanted rose petals and when I would try to get more details he would say, "I trust you"...which of course made me crazy nervous because what if he didn't like it?!
Well, I knew Cynthia's favorite color was yellow, so I basically covered the lobby of our church where he was proposing in yellow roses and rose petals...and I must have done okay, because she said yes!  Although, I'm sure her answer had less to do with my decorating and more to do with the guy who proposed. : )
