I received a call from a very energetic and happy mother looking for info about her daughter Deandra’s upcoming 16 Birthday. We had a great conversation and she had some wonderful ideas about her party’s theme and what she was going to do. I was very excited when she booked me because I knew it was going to be a great event. We first setup a portrait photoshoot in Saddle River County Park & a few by her H.S.. Deandra’s mom said that Deandra was a bit nervous but I didn’t sense that at all during the shoot. Can you see nervousness in these images…

Can you believe this is what 16 year olds look like these days?? I’m working on a potion to keep my daughter 3 forever. Patent Pending… We used the 1st pic as her image in her 16×20 signature board. After the shoot Sandra, Deandra’s mom, had Trish over @ Thinking Paper come up with an awesome invitation for her ’80s themed party. Hover over the “read more” under the Any and All Occasions section to see a pic of the invite. She does great customized work and you should check her out if you’ve got an event lined up.

Deandra’s birthday came a few weeks later and it was super cool! My buddy Chris Atwood over @ Absolute Event Services took care of the music and lighting. Give him a buzz if your looking for entertainment packages. The fiesta was held @ Macalusos in Hawthorne, NJ. Great venue with great food and better service! Here are some of the images from her very special day.
