Anniversary Next Move
— December 3, 2013
(http://www.bourdagesphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/DSC_7940-r.jpg)Next Move, for​merly Sacra​mento Emer​gency Hous​ing Cen​ter, cel​e​brated their 21st year anniver​sary by hav​ing wine, good​ies and live music. The best of the local ven​dors
from Sacra​mento and sur​round​ing areas where invited for an evening full of fun in that mag​i​cal place called Fairy Tale Town. Walk​ing Span​ish and the Putah Creek Craw​dads enhanced the night play​ing upbeat ser​e​nades, as guests com​pleted the wine walk,
enjoyed savory bites from local restau​rants and bid on fab​u​lous prizes from the silent auction.

2. Strolling down the crooked mile brought back many mem​o​ries of long ago when my class​mates and I enjoyed a field trip to Fairy
Tale Town. The ele​men​tary stu​dents loved the giant Mother Goose and it quickly became a tra​di​tion at our school to visit fairy​tale
town once a year on the anniver​sary of the first field trip. See​ing her again after all these years was fun and she hasn’t really even aged,
unlike some of us;-)
What a plea​sure it was to be asked to pho​to​graph this anniver​sary event and an expe​ri​ence I hope every​one has the oppor​tu​nity to
enjoy in years to come. Here’s a link for more infor​ma​tion on this orga​ni​za​tion and events they host.

1st Birthday Party
— September 4, 2013
(http://www.bourdagesphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Professional-Photography-by-EmilieBourdages1.jpg)Sienna
turned one and wow is she ever one loved lit​tle girl! This is evi​dent in her pic​tures, she is such a spe​cial lit​tle girl. She is full of joy and
shows every​body how much she loves them. I’ve never known a one-year-old with such affec​tion and kind​ness dis​played to oth​ers. It
was like she was the host of the party mak​ing sure every​one felt the love.

5. (http://www.bourdagesphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/DSC_6607.jpg)
When you meet Sienna you know she is aware of what’s going on around her. You see her eyes light up with excite​ment when her
fam​ily mem​bers walk into a room. It’s really fun to watch! Every​body seems to fall in love with Sienna after only spend​ing a few
moments with her.
Sienna is loved so much that her par​ents went all out for her big first birth​day and they even had a very enter​tain​ing pro​fes​sional
Faerie from Hap​pily Ever Laugh​ter named Miss Trin​ket to come and do magic tricks for the Birth​day girl and her friends. Miss
Trin​ket kept the chil​dren very enter​tained with music, pup​pets, and games the entire time she was there.

(http://www.bourdagesphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/DSC_7027.jpg)That wasn’t all, we had deli​cious treats from
Maryanne Lopez Cater​ing who made not one, but two gor​geous lay​ered cakes and these great cup​cakes too!! Sienna loved her cake
and wasn’t shy about sharing!!!

7. (http://www.bourdagesphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/image_10.jpeg)
There were very cre​atively dis​played lovely accents of col​or​ful flow​ers all around. A few water​ing cans full of fresh cut flow​ers and vin​tage bird​cages were placed all around and at the entry to greet arriv​ing guests with a warm wel​come. Fab​u​lously done, and great
idea of putting the beau​ti​ful arrange​ments in over​size water​ing cans, I’d never seen that done before. All the details made Sienna’s 1st
birth​day party a hit.

8. (http://www.bourdagesphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/DSC_6490-resized.jpg)
Sienna’s per​son​al​ity really showed in the pic​tures that were dis​played by using clothes pins hang​ing on string draped across a tall
stand​ing lad​der. At the top of the lad​der stood a water​ing can with another very nice arrange​ment of flow​ers that was done by In Full
Bloom by MJL. Sienna’s pic​tures recounted the last year, show​ing the sea​sons and all the grow​ing she has been busy doing. What a
fan​tas​tic way to show​case every month of the last year and high​light Sienna’s adorable personality.

Ten​ni​son with his fun and witty per​son​al​ity made Mila laugh dur​ing our lit​tle sneak away while the sun​set over the city of Sacra​-

11. mento. There is a full bal​cony around to see the entire city, it has the beau​ti​ful Sacra​mento cap​i​tol build​ing right there as a neigh​bor​ing it too. It is incred​i​ble to be up that high and a won​der​ful view from way up there at the top of the tower. After sun​set, it made for
a great spot to see the early 4th of July fire​works. A per​fect way to end a great engage​ment party!!!

Principal Marc Buljan
— July 2, 2013
(http://www.bourdagesphotography.com/wpcontent/uploads/2013/07/Article-on-Principal-Marc-Buljan.jpg)It
was really nice chat​ting with Prin​ci​pal Marc Bul​jan and get​ting to
know a lit​tle more about IB schools and how they cater to the way
are brains tend to oper​ate, focus​ing on stim​u​lat​ing both right and
left brain activ​ity. My cousin is a brain sur​geon and his sto​ries about
the brain have always been fas​ci​nat​ing to me. It was really inter​est​ing hear Marc’s insight dur​ing our photo shoot together.
If you are inter​ested in learn​ing more about IB schools, and how
they work, or the IB orga​ni​za​tion you can visit the web​site link here
(http://www.ibo.org/) and also see a few high​lights in the infor​ma​tion that came directly from the organization’s web​site below:
The Inter​na​tional Bac​calau​re​ate® (IB) does not own, oper​ate or
man​age any schools. Instead, we work in part​ner​ship with 3,621 IB
World Schools in 145 coun​tries who offer our pro​grammes
(http://www.ibo.org/programmes/index.cfm). These schools:
share the mis​sion (http://www.ibo.org/mission/index.cfm)
and com​mit​ment of the IB to qual​ity inter​na​tional education
have been autho​rized by the IB to offer one or more of our
three programmes
