My daughter's 2nd birthday!

My baby girl turned 2 years old on Aug 11th! I cannot believe two years have gone by since this sweet girl came into our lives. She is such a blessing and we treasure her so much! We decided to have a unicorn themed birthday party since she loves unicorns and I wanted an excuse to throw a super girly party :P. With her birthday being right in the middle of busy wedding season I didn’t have a ton of time to plan but that ended up being a good thing because it made me make decisions fast lol! I picked up a few unicorn themed decorations and printed out a fun game I found on Pinterest where you had to find your unicorn name and write it on a name tag- that was your name for the day! Anna’s name was Petal Sparkle ;) My husband did such a great job getting the yard all party ready and preparing all the food the day of. Our families also helped out so much and everything came together so beautifully! The older the kids get the more I understand the saying “It takes a village” LOL. Our awesome neighbor let us borrow a 7 foot blow up unicorn sprinkler that was a total hit with all the kids!!! The day went by so quick and I barely got to eat during the party but I was just so filled with joy the entire time to be around all of our family and friends. At one point I even teared up just thinking about how blessed my children are to be surrounded by so much love <3 I am so grateful for my family & friends and it was such a special day celebrating our little Annabelle Grace.

We had a gorgeous day for baby Giuliana’s 1 year old session! She looked so adorable in all of her outfits, especially the yellow dress that coordinated with mommy and daddy! I had the pleasure of photographing this sweetie pie’s newborn session last year so I was super excited when her momma reached out about doing one year old photos too! Bayonet Farm is the perfect location for these sessions as there are so many beautiful backgrounds and it’s never crowded! Giuliana is just SO cute and she is a baby on the move! She isn’t quite walking on her own but can walk miles holding mommy and dadd’s hand. She has the biggest gummy smile and wasn’t shy about giving them out :). At first she wasn’t quite sure about her cake but once she realized it was yummy she started digging in! I LOVE sessions like these and look forward to capturing more milestones for this family in the future!

Enjoy the photos!

This session was amazing! First of all, how adorable is this family?! I have had the pleasure of photographing this baby girl and her family over the past year as apart of the grow with me package! Seeing this sweet baby girl go from a precious newborn, to a chubby crawling 6 month old, to an adorable almost walking one year old has been such a joy! Every single time I met with this family I leave feeling so thankful for my job and the connections I get to make with families! We did the photo session in their beautiful home and used all of the natural light to our advantage :). Isabelle’s nursery is adorable and was a perfect location for photos. For the cake smash we moved the dining room table over and had plenty of space and natural light to work with. No need for a studio! I absolutely had the best time capturing these milestones for this sweet family and I can’t wait to work with them again!

Enjoy the photos!
