A Stunning Love-Filled Maternity Session by Shalem Mathew Photography

If you haven't heard of the talented Alaska-based photographer Shalem Mathew, believe me, you soon will.  He specializes in senior portraits, conceptual engagement shoots, local and destination weddings. Shalem has also been published in national and international trade magazines for his conceptual fashion photography and has been commissioned by brands such as Sam Villa, L'Oreal and Cosmo Girl Magazine. Along with Mitch Kitter of PropagandaAK, Shalem co-owns Treft.Punkt Studios - a creative studio specializing in high end portraits located in downtown Anchorage. 

Today I am showcasing Shalem's stunning maternity session featuring new parents Brandon and Brenda Lester.  With daddy an Anchorage firefighter and mommy owner and designer at Gracie Beaucoup, I can already see an adorable fireman themed 1st birthday party planned and designed to perfection. Let me jus tell you that this maternity session is just that, PERFECTION! Shalem beautifully captured the excitement and love that Brandon and Brenda have for one another and their baby boy on the way. Get comfortable with your morning cup of coffee because you are going to be here for a while, I know I will!

Fanciful Strawberry Shortcake Themed Tea Party

To all my mommies with little boys, you might want to cover their eyes because this Strawberry Shortcake themed tea party is nothing short of frills and finery.  Decked out to the nines, the tablescape itself is straight out of every little girl's dream. As I was browsing around searching for inspiration for McKenzie's first birthday party, I luckily stumbled upon The Frosted Petticoat, a "must save" to your bookmark's bar! This massive explosion of classic vintage chic filled my screen and I didn't want it to end! I LITERALLY didn't want it to end, so I hopped over to the talent that captured each detail so beautifully, photographer Brianna Muniz from Sienna Rose Photography. Brianna was chosen to bring this special occasion to life by Aracely, owner of Minted and Vintage Dessert Stand Rentals. With Aracely's perfectly designed arrangements of vintage rental pieces displaying the stunning sweets from several bakery shops(see credits below) and her beautifully assembled florals, the stage was set for her adorable daughter's 2nd birthday party. So put on your lace gloves and hold up your pinkies because this is a decadent affair!
