A Surprise Birthday Boudoir Session

A few weeks ago I had the wonderful opportunity to work on another boudoir photo session with the talented Jill Hardy Photography.  I love doing makeup and hair for these photo sessions.  But this one had a little twist to it.  It wasn't the women who booked it!  Her husband wanted some beautiful shots of his gorgeous wife as his birthday gift, so he called up Jill and booked the whole session and surprised his wife with it!  Isn't that awesome!?

So she was a little nervous but she looked so stunningly beautiful!!!  I think hubby is a very happy birthday boy!

Here is that shot that we're allowed to share:

Check out Jill Hardy Photography's website for more boudoir photos.  And if you're interested in booking a boudoir session, she's hosting another one the first week of June.  Limited spaces are available so book with her now to avoid missing out on the opportunity!

My Mother's Day!

I hope that every Mom is getting lots of love today.  I know I sure did!  My Mother's Day started last night because my husband had to leave this morning to drive to Maine due to a death in his family.

My thoughtful husband and 2 daughters planned and amazing day and a half for me.  Actually my youngest daughter, age 8, pretty much planned the entire day about a month ago.  She carried around a notepad and jotted down notes about what I would like every day for about a month.  Seriously!

This is what she planned for my breakfast...

And gift ideas.  First on the list was an iPhone, second on the list was MUFE (short for Make Up For Ever), and third was shoes and she even knew the right size!  What a smart little girl :)

And this is a list of what she thought I would like to do on my special day...

 She is such a thoughtful and sensitive little girl.  She makes me proud!

So as I mentioned, my Mother's Day festivities started with a lobster dinner last night.

Then I got breakfast in bed this morning, followed by a family hot tub with lots of snuggles, and then gift time!

My girls got my this plant. For some reason they still don't know that I kill every plant that comes close to me, not on purpose I just have black thumbs.  Wish this plant well!  It probably doesn't have that much time left...

And they also picked all this stones up from around the mail box and washed them all in the white bathroom sink.  Yup.  And then dried them off on the white towel :)

And the one thing I was crossing my fingers for and hoping like crazy to get, was an iPhone.  And hubby didn't disappoint!!!!!!!!!!!!   I have an iPhone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I don't really have the actual phone.  Future Shop was sold out on Saturday but supposedly there will be some in on Monday.  So for now I have an iPhone brochure :)

How was your Mother's Day?  Did you get pampered?  Or did you pamper your Mom?  I'd love to hear how your day was!
