Emi celebrated her fifth birthday in style on a hot evening in June in Dallas’ own Deep Ellum. A cross of art, funk, and modern pop, this collective area of Dallas is known for brightly painted murals, giants metal sculptures, and urban techno music. What better way to usher in your fifth birthday than for Mama and daughter to dress in matching bright pink tutu skirts that made them fit right in the eclectic melting pot of music, culture, and art.
As we walked the streets taking in the mix of people and sounds, we stopped at several unique murals that were a perfect backdrop for this spunky girl. But before long, the Texas heat and humidity took its toll and the streets were getting packed with the nightlife crowd.
This is the 4th birthday I’ve got to celebrate with some amazing photographs. Each year, her mom comes up with these super creative birthday themes, and this year was no surprise. Of course, her mom is an uber-talented hair stylist, so she’s full of creativity. I look forward to celebrating birthday number six in even bigger Emi-style.
