Day 111 Birthday Prep

My youngest son is having a Birthday tomorrow!!!  I have mixed feelings about it.  I'm thinking birthdays are overrated....just kidding.  I'm sad and happy all at the same time.   Very thankful that he is healthy and growing.  Sad to see him grow so fast.  Like it or not, tomorrow is his birthday.  And we will celebrate his day in all the magic a kid would want on his day!!

{Birthday Boy}

{Question on skin....is he looking a little to red?  Just curious since I always second guess myself.  I also just calibrated. Thanks!!}
Another thing...I remember seeing a tutorial on how to get whites white. (the tutorial included food photography and the plate was white, another was with a coffee mug)  I can't seem to find it.  Would you remember this or know of a tutorial that speaks of this.  I took some photos with a white background and want it to be white white.  Thanks!!

  1. Oh I know the feeling! I want to keep mine just the way they are right now forever and ever. I tell them all the time that I don't want them to get any bigger. So I can really relate to what you're going through. It'll be a magical day though, and I can't wait to see the joy you capture in his beautiful eyes when he experiences his special day. BTW, I love your first picture; did you draw that or is it a card or sign?

  2. Can't wait to see birthday pictures! I need to start planning my little girl's birthday party :( She will be turning 3.

    The right side of his face looks a little blown, but other than that, the numbers look pretty good. He has gorgeous eyes,

  3. Mine too! Please stay little forever.

    Great pictures! I love how his eyes are sparkling. I don't think he's too red. Although lately, I've been really toning down the red in my skin pictures too. I think it's b/c my family gets overly red in just a smidgen of sun so I'm really conscious of toning it down.

  4. I know the feeling too. I told Emaleigh that she was going to start going backwards because I couldn't deal with her getting any older. She didn't like the idea of being 12 again instead of 14 though....

    Love both these shots. His skin looks pretty good to me. He's got gorgeous eyes. Happy birthday to him!

  10. Both of these pics are beautiful. when my third son was 5, I did a big Superman birthday party for him. I made at least 20 capes, for the boys to take home. I thought how he was growing up so fast...it seems like yesterday. He is turning 36 this year...it does go by so fast. Treasure these moments when they are young.
