Come on Down..... How many have you have heard those words and wanted to go on the Price is Right?  Well, me too and that is exactly what I did, thanks to my friend Danielle.  She invited me to join her and 16 others to celebrate her (and now my) friend Julie's birthday.  It was so much fun!!! We left Sunday morning and came home Monday night and had the time of our lives.  First I met such a great group of girls that I will forever treasure.  They were crazy, lovely and we all had such a great experience.  Julie organized the whole trip and she deserves and award for it!  We started off our day at the Grove in LA.  We shopped, got some great deal and had a great time.  We all treated ourselves to a Sprinkles cupcake.  SO GOOD!  I had the peanut butter chocolate chip. YUMMY!  In fact it was so good, we had another one the next day.  (Banana cupcake with chocolate frosting if you want to know, since they ...

My sweet boy is turning 6 this week.  He is growing up so quickly.  I am such a proud mom.  He is a kind out-going, smart, and just an all around great kid.  I love his so much! For his 6th birthday, he decided he wanted to celebrate at Chuck E Cheese.  He had been to a few birthday parties there and wanted to be the "Star of the Show".  He loved it and so did the 16 friends he invited to join him.   He loved it and had a great time.  I was happy for the party to be over, lol, Its a lot of work to have a party there.  But in the end, he was happy and had fun and that is all that matters. Keep going for more pictures of the party.   The Birthday Boy in his "Lego" shirt    Lego Party Favors     Playing at Chuck E Cheese  Uncle Dion & Kiki playing   The Birthday Boy & friends  Family & Friends  Getting the birthday crown   Thanks Ch...

I recently had the honor of taking my sister in laws pictures for her new business cards.  She recently started in Real Estate.  If you are looking to buy a home and need an agent let me know and I can connect you to her.    I really like how the pictures turned out.  It made it so easy since she is such a beautiful woman.  We had a lot of fun during the shoot.  She had a few outfit changes.  We took the pictures in her yard.  I cannot wait to see the final business card.       My favorite!    

My sweet little girl turned 2.  I know everyone says it but I cannot believe hoq quickly time goes by.  Maya is a sweet, beautiful, fiesty little lady whom I adore.  She constantly makes me laugh and smile.  When I started planning her party I instantly knew it had to have a Minnie Mouse theme.  She LOVES, I mean loves Minnie or as she calls her "Me Mouse".  Each time she sees Minnie her entire face lights up and has the biggest smile. For her Minnie party, I took a lot of inspiration from Pinterest.  For more information visit me on Pinterest.  I wanted to make the decorations and found so many great ideas on Pinterest.  It was a lot of fun.  My mother in law made the amazing cake.  It turned out so cute.  Maya's shirt is from "Stitch It" which I found on Etsy and Facebook.  They were great to work with and loved how it turned out. I bought black plates and cut out circles for the ears. For ...

This year for Valentines Day I decided I wanted to make something for my hubby instead of buying something.  I am trying to be more creative and ended up loving how it turned out.  Want me to make you one too?  Let me know!  Send me an email @ kellydixonphotography@gmail.com . Enjoy your someone special this Valentine! 

So I have been teaching myself Photoshop and this is the first photo that I wanted to share with everyone.  I am very proud of myself (so far) but have so much more to learn.  What do you think??  

Wishing you and the people you love a Merry Everything and a Happy Whatever!
