Q turned 11 this last weekend and we feasted, as we always do on her birthdays, on steamed lobsters.
This is what it looked like last year’s party.
This year the party got started so late it was just not worthwhile to shoot it all in the darkness. I really do need better lighting in the dining area but what can you do!
I also had substantial cake failures due to the fact that Q wanted a DRAGON cake and my attempt to make dragon cupcakes just withered under gravitational forces. I shot none of those ill-fated pumpkin muffins. We ended up simply making spider cupcakes with chocolate frosting and chocolate twizzlers for legs.
I went a bit Halloween with the decor this year but the best I could do was shoot two of the kids outside in the costumes they wore.
Q is a bit goth with her awesome skull goblet and wig and black wings!
KD is a lovely little faerie.

First, great photo of Q with the sea-roach! Not a lot of kids would even pick those things up.
Second, what a chicken… not showing your cake disaster! I want to see falling apart cake!!!

i know but it was not much to see! Imagine a gloopy mass of chocolate icing and black candles and this scary cookie dragon head that was too big for the cupcake.
Q had no problems holding it, almost would not put it down!
