birthday photo shoot

I decided to have a photo shoot with the birthday girl.

I wish I had thought of this 18 years ago, so that I would have a birthday picture for each year.

But no, I didn't think of it till now, 18 years too late.

And she felt especially cooperative, which was helpful.

I read somewhere that garage photo shoots work well because of the lighting.

So we hung up my black backdrop fabric and tried it out.

Now that we've tried it, I'm not sure I totally loved the lighting, it seemed pretty harsh. Maybe we needed to try it later in the day when the light is softer.

And the wind was a problem.

And the cheesiness.

We ended on a serious note.

We tried some outdoor shots too.

I'm pretty sure "Jeep Model" is in her future.

We finished off the day with cake.

YES CAKE.

When you turn 18 you don't get to choose your treat.

I make you chocolate cake, like it or lump it.

The three layers were supposed to have chocolate ganache between them,and despite the fact that I've made ganache successfully in the past, this time it turned out like syrup.

Bummer dude.

But cake dripping with syrupy ganache?

Muy delicioso if I do say so myself.

Happy Birthday baby girl.

Welcome to the big leagues.

( I like how the camera gave her an angel halo.)
