It was a beautiful day! There was a slight breeze, the sky was clear, and the sun was shining. It was the perfect day for Bree’s first birthday party! The theme of the party was “Candy Land”, and the favors, centerpieces, desserts, cake and colorful room decor made for a very festive occasion. Loved the game board flooring leading up to the entrance of the room! Each candy favor was individually skewered, and the topiaries were mouthwatering treats for guests. The hand decorated marshmallow krispie treat lollipops were amazing! I’m still in awe of Bree’s family…so together and calm during the entirety of the party. Children enjoyed romping through a HUGE bouncy house, complete with “toddler” section for the little ones. Happy kids indulged in balloon making, face/body paining, glitter tattoo, and popcorn/shave ice. We enjoyed seeing both sides of the family…including doting grandmas that loved Bree and big brother, Brody, to pieces  🙂 (Click HERE to see Brody’s first birthday party.) As the party came to a close, we enjoyed our family time out by the water. Nearly four hours into the party, she was still toddling/running across the grass! Thanks for including us in your very special day, Mom and Dad! We hope that Bree had a wonderful birthday  🙂   Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s our last scheduled studio shoot for 2014 (we have a one-year old birthday party post coming up), and what a wonderful way to end our year…with a newborn shoot!  We met little A and his big brother, B (2 years), this past Sunday.  B brought his construction equipment, and impressed us with his extensive knowledge of all-things truck/digger related. We were digging holes and hauling rocks clear across our flooring! Baby A looked so handsome in his fashionable hats, and readily fell to sleep for us (thanks to that paci!).  When we were done with the shoot, I told mom that his paci was “gold”. As soon as we popped it in his mouth, he calmed right down and fell asleep!  Thank you for bringing all of your props, Mom and Dad! We have lots of “Lion” photos for you to choose from in your gallery.  We enjoyed our morning with all of you, it was wonderful to meet you all! Hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Here’s your sneak peek:

Little Brooklyn slept like a champ during her family photos. Most babies are restless throughout the family portion of their sessions because they are hungry, tired, and desperately want their mommies  🙂  Brooklyn was cool as a cucumber during her sibling photos, even opening her round little eyes to peer out at all of us. Big brother, Elijah (age 2), and big sister, Lexi (age 5), were incredibly gentle with their new little sister. Lexi was a very mature 5 year old. I remember her being equally easy to work with during her brother’s newborn shoot 2 years ago (click HERE to see Elijah’s newborn shoot). Elijah flashed his adorable little smile and immediately won us all over.  This was the same smile he famously sported during his own newborn shoot (he was the envy of many moms, all asking if I had photoshopped in those smiles…nope…all natural!). Brooklyn is so lucky to have her big brother and sister! Thank you, Mom and Dad, for making the trip out to see us! You are both amazing parents, and we were honored to take Brooklyn’s photos. She was absolutely precious. Congratulations to all of you  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:
