Stephanie is officially 30!!! Woot! Woot! I had the hardest time thinking up gift ideas and a way to celebrate the big 3-0 with her! I think part of the problem was the fact that Stephanie is a great gift giver and party planner in her own right. Seriously, you should see this girl in action. Baby showers, bridal showers, birthday parties! You name it… and these events are Pinterest worthy people! Not to mention they are flawlessly executed and no doubt leave the guest of honor feeling overwhelmingly loved! More than that though, she is just an incredibly thoughtful and caring person. She is very involved in her family and friends lives. When she isn’t jumping in to help or offer support when needed, she is rsvp’g to help celebrate whatever important event pops up in the world of those close to her. Did I mention how many friends she has??? I honestly don’t know how she does it! She is a machine! See the problem lol?
So, since there was no sense in competing with the master, I figured I would play to her love of photography! As I was thinking about potentially surprising her with one of those silly and creative 30th cake smash sessions, the perfect idea finally came to me! While trying to figure out what type of outfit I should get for her to wear, it dawned on me that this would be the first time Stephanie wouldn’t have to worry about a single thing for her personal photos! No outfits to pick out for her and her family. No one else to get ready after getting herself ready and rushing out the door!! At that moment I decided there would be no dirty thirty and certainly no cake smashed in her pretty face! Oh no, no, no! Now I was thinking more along the lines of something more luxurious and glamorous! With hair and makeup appointments set along the way and her favorite dress ready to roll, off to the magnificent Georgian Terrace we went! We had such an amazing girls day that ended with her sweet hubby stealing her away with surprise dinner reservations. He knew better than to leave a girl all dressed up with no place to go! Needless to say she was surprised! Steph crushed the shoot and her Flirty Thirty session is now in the memory books!
Shout out to Francesca at Soda Salon in Roswell! She did such an amazing job on hair and makeup! I also want to thank my friend Crystal who made the customized shirt! If you need anything personalized let me know and I will put you in touch with her!
Check out this beautiful birthday girl!
