the infinite possibility of childhood :: children’s commercial photographer :: laura winslow photography

“That’s what makes it so right. Your eyes– your soul is there, but the rest of you is still so undefined. That’s the beauty of childhood. The eyes show everything you’ve seen so far, but the rest of you is still so open to possibility, to whatever you might become.”

I just love this sweet little number from the talented Heather of laken & lila. So lovely in its vintage cuteness. Addie felt so comfortable in it and had a blast running around pushing this old toy. I loved the little smile on her face as she pushed it–I would have thought it was too young a toy for an almost-three-year-old, but it brought such joy! Oh, and don’t you simply ahhh-dore that cute little pink wooden camera? Yep, I kind of have a problem with little camera props. The kids are in love with it, though, and have been posing and photographing their stuffed animals in all the best-lit places in the house.

I am FINALLY getting around to blogging some of the birthday parties that my kiddos have had–yay! Jackson wanted an “ARMY” party for his 5th birthday, so this modern mama tried her best to give that camo a little umpf! As an army brat myself, this party was a blast to plan, and we had the resident Colonel {my dad!} to ask questions of to ensure authenticity!

The kiddos were each given buckets filled with dog tags, camo scarves and canteens so that we could begin boot camp in style! Jack was one happy soldier!

I made this camo corn and coordinating signage using a recipe found on the fabulous Pinterest, of course! Popcorn, jelly beans and m&ms…mmm!

I found these amazing chocolate covered marshmallow and graham cracker cookies and knew I had to use them! We found the authentic ammunition crates at an Army Surplus store, and they were the perfect perch for Jack’s little army vehicles!

The talented and creative Melissa of Decadent Delights made my “modern camo” vision come to life with this stunning cake–complete with dog tags and Army Jack on top! The inside is just as fabulous as the outside! Jack chose chocolate chip cake with chocolate mousse frosting. Divine!!

Each child was given a kraft gable box labeled “CHOW for Jack’s Army”, filled with PB+J Sandwiches, chips, apples and other yummy sustenance for the troops!

Adults dined on yummies from the Taco Bar. Don’t you love this vintage poster we found at the Army Surplus shop? It is now hanging in Jack’s room and he loves it!

Candy-dipped pretzels served as Army Swords and these fabulous Army men gummies found at Sweeties were perfect for mini cupcake toppers!

happy new year from laura winslow photography! :: phoenix photographer

“Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.”

2011, oh what fun! :: thank you for a fabulous year :: laura winslow photography

Laura Winslow Photography — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:05:07 +0000

“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.”
~T.S. Eliot, “Little Gidding”

Thank you to all of my dear clients for such an amazing year. I relished meeting so many new people and getting to see so many familiar faces as well–such a blessing to be able to do this! This is a random selection of images from this year–it is just impossible to include all, so I had someone choose at random for me. Choosing among clients would have been like picking a favorite child–I just couldn’t and love you all too much! Each one of you is so dear to me, and thank you for the opportunity to capture your special moments in time. Here’s to another fabulous year filled with fun, laughter and connection.

much love,

laura

“Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the simple life… a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year – and the deep, deep connection of all these things with God. ”

~Ray Stannard Baker
