Mom was so ahead of the game…I was so impressed.  She contacted me over 6 months in advance to ask if I was available to shoot Brooke’s birthday party. Most of my clients find me by word of mouth, but she said that she found me on the internet  🙂  She was planning the party long-distance, so she wanted to make sure that everything was organized for the party, and she had some amazing help from family and friends!

I loved the kokeshi doll party theme. Everything was absolutely adorable…from the handmade favors and centerpieces, to the candy bar and the desserts on the dessert table. So colorful, creative and fun! Brooke took a power nap right before her party started, so she would be at her best during the party  😉

Brooke had a beautiful birthday cake. I even loved the patterned design on the bottom layer! The mini cupcakes were totally adorable, and I love that they used mini Japanese lantern lights around the cake table.

The kids (…and some adults) loved making their own personalized door hangers and bag tags. Many of them were lost in deep concentration while creating their masterpieces. Music entertainment was provided by the very talented Ben and Maila!

The pupus and snacks…so delicious! Guests enjoyed fresh cotton candy, popcorn and shave ice. They had many satisfied customers 😉  The air was filled with the buttery scent of warm popcorn. Heavenly!

Brooke’s party featured many speakers, and a heartfelt blessing.

There were many opportunities for family and friend photos…and lots of photos of the happy birthday girl!

Brooke even enjoyed a cupcake following her birthday song. I think she loved it, LOL!

Then the candy bar opened, and the line formed. Oh, the sugar and sweets…so many smiles and happy guests!

As the party was winding down, I happened to catch a glimpse of an impromptu limbo game in the corner of the room. Apparently, some modifications were made to the rules of the game…

Everything came full circle with Brooke. Following all of the excitement, she fell asleep again.  Good night, Sleeping Beauty!  We hope you had a wonderful first birthday experience…we know your guests all enjoyed themselves! Mom and Dad, thank you for inviting us to celebrate Brooke’s monumental milestone!!! We had a blast!  🙂
