Two weeks ago today we teamed up with the Make a Wish Foundation to help bring this little girl's wish to life. Her wish was to be a rockstar for her 13th birthday party. Erin and I were contacted by a former client who asked us if we would be the paparazzi for the night. How could we say no? It sounded like so much fun!
***Erin and I love to donate our time and efforts to good causes, so if you have a request for donation please contact us through email (the_locket@hotmail.com) or check the contact section of our website (www.thelocketonline.com) for phone numbers.
Here are some photos from the night:
The birthday started with a day of pampering.
First nails...
Then makeup...
Then hair...
And here's where she started to feel beautiful!
After the salon, she went to the hotel to put on her new outfit and then a limo came to pick her up. She picked up a few friends before arriving at the big party.
The event was at the Clarion Hotel in Cedar Rapids.
Here she is arriving for all of her screaming fans!
After the big arrival she was hurried into a seperate room where she was interviewed for the news. All of her fans went to the party room to wait for her second entrance.
Her second entrance
and then the dancing began!
Time for the cake! I love her expression in this picture!
and then there was karaoke!
Some more dancing...
Some cuties!
This little guy was panting around the dance floor saying "I gotta move it, move it....I gotta move it, move it" under his breath after the "I like to move it" song was on. It was so adorable!
This girl was being a ham for the camera. Gotta love that!
We wanted to snap a few photos of just her with her new look. As timid as she was to do this, at the end she said she felt like a model!
Here she is with a couple of her best friends.
Then there were some hugs...
and kisses...(cheesy joke) :)
And that was the end! Happy Birthday! I hope it was wonderful for you. Thanks for letting us share in your special day!
