Guest Post with Erin from Erin Dietrich Photography!

Hey Y'all!

{I can't believe I really just said that!}

I'm Erin,

from Erin Dietrich Photography.

{my website needs massive updating & remodeling so check us out on Facebook for our latest work! I'm embarrassed & can't believe I even just linked that to my website!}

I'm a Wife, a working Mama, a Photographer & a wanna-be blogger!

I'm based out of Myrtle Beach, SC

but born and raised in NY. 

But you can check out MY BLOG if you want to stalk me 

& figure out my life story! ;-)

I just love Rachelle!

She has become one of my facebook/blog friends.

The type that you feel like you've know for years,

but you've really never even met in person?

Ya, that kind! ;-)

I secretly stalk her blog.

I think her and the girls need to come to

Myrtle Beach so I can photograph them & she can 

decorate my house.

Sound like a perfect plan to me! =)

This is my first "guest post" so please,

bare with me and don't laugh at me too hard.

My daughter is going to be TWO soon.

{so sad}

And her Birthday Party theme is going to be 

"Lemonade & Sunshine!"

I didn't want to do the "typical" girl birthday party themes,

like Princess, Dora, Barbie etc.

{Not that there's anything wrong with any of those!}

But I like to try to come up with "unique" themes.

So about two months ago, 

I was walking through the "summer" section at Target.

They had a little Lemonade stand sign & banner.

{you can see them in the pictures}

I thought to myself, 

"Omg, this is SO CUTE!"

Then a little light bulb went off in my head.

I thought to myself...

"This would be such a cute theme for Brynn's 2nd Birthday Party this August!"

Then the wheels started spinning!

My husband built this AWESOME Lemonade stand for this shoot & for her party.

{It is SO HEAVY, I'm pretty sure it could withstand a tornado or something}

I think it turned out SO cute, he did such a good job!

{Thanks Babe!}

Have you ever built a "serious" lemonade stand?

Let me teach you how!

{Please excuse my husband & daughter's outfits in these pictures. She made that visor at school the day before & would not take it off!}

My husband came up with how to create this all on his own. 

It actually wasn't that hard.

So buy a bunch of wood, some screws, spray paint, paint & sand paper!

Isn't his little helper cute?!? ;-)

Before we painted it!

I spray painted the whole thing.
Then we took sand paper & sanded some spots to give it the "old" look.

It was very easy.

♥

Ok, I think this is hands down my favorite shoot I've ever done yet.

Not just because the sweet baby toddler in it is mine either! ;-)

 I did Brynn's 2nd Birthday Shoot

{I can't believe she is going to be 2 so soon already!}

*TEAR*

I wanted to keep these pictures a surprise until her Birthday invitations went out,

but I just couldn't control myself.

I love these images way too much to keep them a secret 

for another couple weeks! ;-)

I'm so excited for her Birthday party in a couple weeks!

But until then...

ENJOY THESE PICTURES!

P.S. This lemonade stand will now be available to use for YOUR shoot, if you want to book a styled shoot similar to this with me! ;-)

& last but not least, her invitations....
