How precious are these keepsake photos of Ava from Jeni Marie Studios?
I love her mini session photo set ups and props especially this one and her lemonade stand. Being a food blogger I am a sucker for cute props and set ups and this girl does it all! I’ve seen her work with both kids and big families and she is a pro with everyone. 
Her prices are very affordable and worth every penny!
My Kinder Cutie currently attends charter school in Texas but when we move next month she is excited to start a new school again and make new friends. She is such a smart, brave girl!

Celebrate back to school with these pretty red apple shaped cupcakes!

    OMGosh these are adorable. It stinks that kids can't really bake stuff to take to school anymore. But as someone with a lot of food intolerances I can understand parents panic with severe food allergies or cross contamination.
