1st birthday baby caricature! in a Mercedes!

 And it's not caricatures (plural) because I was so busy drawing dozens of little-kid guests, that I only got a few photos of the birthday girl at her pastel-Disneyfied party. Her mom did a great job with sourcing beautiful cookies, balloons, a face painter, a pink bounce house and my caricatures (which came via The Bash)!

When I saw the miniature Mercedes right on front of me of course I had to draw Baby Girl in it!

Thank you for having me and happy 1st birthday Iyla!

Pastel-hued, carnival-themed 1st birthday party caricatures!

Isn't she adorable?

This party was so elegant and happy, what a pleasure for me to be apart of it!

And can you believe this was their DRIVEWAY?? The Indian food buffet was laid out in their attached garage ( and it was DELICIOUS!!) 

Here are some of my drawings:

Thank you for having me... AND for this lovely feedback, that was waiting for me on my profiles on both The Bash and Google, the following morning:

Emily did such a great job for my daughters first birthday party. Everyone was so impressed! I would highly recommend Emily!

It was my pleasure!

Fabulous rainbow-themed 1st birthday caricatures!

On the same scorching hot Saturday that I did a 3rd birthday party in the early afternoon, my second gig (in the late afternoon) was this rainbow-themed first birthday party for a darling little girl. Drew her with her mommy and daddy...drew guests...enjoyed seeing the wonderful decor and all the fun things for the kids to do at this party! 

I drew rainbow backgrounds on every drawing!

Didn't take many photos as I was interested  in getting all the kids done. 

When I left it was still about 94 degrees outside so I got myself my second giant iced tea of the day at a nearby McDonald's. MMMMMMM sweet tea!

Thanks for having me!

Baby blue 1st birthday caricatures!

Isn't this child adorable? Her grandmother booked me for her 1st birthday party, as I had drawn for her previously at this little girl's aunt's Sweet 16 (in 2014!) I have been getting an influx of repeat clients from years ago lately, it is so appreciated!

Here is my former Sweet 16 girl, whom I remember well---it snowed the day of her party, and she had an awesome black and fuschia dress!

This is the GREAT-grandfather of the birthday girl!

He was a pleasure to chat with!

A few more caricatures:

Thanks for having me, Nana!

I met a very skillful face painter at this event, @joyful_canvas, and she took this wonderful photo of me doing my thing. (Unfortunately, I could not get any pics of her at work, as I was so busy!) Thank you Rebekah!

1st Birthday Caricatures...for twins!

The theme was Love you to the Moon and back...so cute!!!

The twins were in demand, so I wasn't able to get a photo of them....:-(

but I did get these:

These two got away before I got a photo, too!

Thanks for having me! :-)

1st Birthday Caricatures

A lovely state park on a spring day was the setting for this little  blonde's first birthday:

It was a fiesta-themed party, as it was also Cinco de Mayo, so the food was yummy Mexican fare from a local restaurant. 

Drew all the kids first, as is my custom...here's a few:

 Below: She ran away to explore before I could get a photo (actually before I finished the drawing!)

At the end I drew the grandma and her sisters. FUN!!!

Thanks for having me!!

Pink 1st Birthday Caricatures!

A beautiful little girl's 1st birthday party included my caricatures. ;-)

The theme was PINK, of course!

Here are the proud parents, who wore matching pink shirts:

Some grandparents:

(caricature made him crack a smile:-)

Parents with their teen and tween, who sat individually. then went off as I finished each one:

(you can really see the family resemblances in that one)

John Legend and his wife---no, not really--just more family members ;-)

(he said he gets that all the time!)

More family:

Thank you so much for having me!
