This summer has been a busy one…packed full of activities with the kids, traveling for I Heart Faces and fitting a few photography sessions in here and there as well.

Quite a few of those sessions have been for several local businesses who hired me to shoot their commercial product photography.

While this endeavor was definitely outside of my comfort zone at first, I quickly grew to love the experience of working with beautiful little models, creative stylists and fun products.

Ice Cream Party

This ice cream party designed and stylized by The Celebration Shoppe was a blast to photograph even though we had to dart through a random rainstorm here and there (eeek!) Kim, owner of The Celebration Shoppe, had envisioned a simple party full of bright and vivid tones that any parent could pull off in their backyard while at the same time impressing all of the guests. I think she definitely pulled that off here!

I love all of the details she added including the more heathful eating choices, the fun ice cream cone balloon, customized clothing, soda wraps and much more. Check out all the fun details in the images below…
