Birthday Princess…Isn’t She Lovely?

On your 30th Birthday, I wish to tell you that you are the princess of our world.

May you always keep shining with success in your life.

I pray for you…favor, love and strength to earn it all.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday!!

Our trip to Indiana…was because of this very special lady!

The baby of the family…just turned 30 years old.

I don’t see how this is possible…when her mother is still 29 and holding! Sigh…

Maybe you should pray for her mother…she is in denial!

Tip of the Day for Bloggers/Photographers:

Photographing a Birthday Gathering/Party?

Look for the party details…

Another way to add interest to the shots is to focus on the details of the party. I find that many of these shots are best taken before the guests arrive and might include shots of the cake, photos of balloons and other decorations, photos of presents stacked, shots of a set party table. Often it’s good to get in nice and close to these elements – fill the frame with them!

See the example in the middle photo…it lends itself to the theme and captures the emotion of the day.

I hope you are doing well today.

🙂 Happy birthday to your daughter. Your comment about being perpetually 29 reminded me of my father – he stopped counting at 45. Now he claims I have gotten ahead of him in years. 🙂

Aw! Very lovely! Happy Birthday to your lovely, lovely daughter. (I love that all our children seem to grow older, but we (the parents) are great at holding at 29 :o)

Blessings & Aloha!
Yay! I am finally catching up to some of my “I” visits! Yikes! I am still not in a routine with my blogging and visiting. I hope you can pop on over to my place :o)

Oh Laurie!

She is lovely. It’s hard to believe when our babies turn 30, isn’t it?

I bet people mistake you for sisters all the time, though!

Thanks for a cute (and interesting) link for the letter “I”.

A+

Happy Birthday to your daughter! And it is in fact my understanding that you are able to remain 29 even though she is getting older. Eventually you “may” have to go up to 39 but not for another 20 plus years! 😉
