OMG, do I love this little girl! I just want to gobble her up. Her smile and personality are just too much! And those big blue round eyes just capture you every time. The camera seems to love her just as much, or that could still be me, lol. I had the pleasure of photographing baby Charley's first birthday and I just love it! Gianna, her mommy, and also Event Designer of Chic Celebrations did a fantastic job with this adorable rocking pink first birthday! I love the lawn games, such a fun idea! I have to say this is also one of my favorite smash the cake sessions. Charley's eyes were just glazed over from sugar high, lol! Just too good for words! And, I just love the character artist, he was amazing and did such a wonderful job capturing, not just Charley but all the kids and even some of the "big" kids. The desert table was deck all out with the cute pom pom backdrop and yummy deserts from Sweet and Saucy! I could continue to rave about Gianna and her mad skills, including her child, but I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy!

This adorable Velveteen Rabbit baby shower was styled by Kristeen La Brot Events. I love all the details, all the way down to the thread. The cake, created by Cake Goodness is so cute, with the little bunny tail, and the stunning flowers by Fujiko Flowers brings it too life, just love it all! It was such a pleasure to work with all these lovely ladies for this adorable baby shower. Congratulations Janae!

I am so excited to share this baby shower with you! Gianna, one of my all-time favorite girls, with Chic Celebrations asked me to photograph her baby shower event, and of course I jumped on it! I love this girl! Gianna is one of the sweetest and most giving people ever. Even though she sat this out as far as event styling goes, she sure trained her girls well, lol. Plus knowing her, I am sure she really didn't sit it out, lol. ;-) They pulled together the cutest baby shower for Baby Charley. How adorable is the name Charley, love it! These gorgeous flowers designed by Jaclyne of Heavenly Blooms, OMG they are to die far. That Jaclyne is amazing and and her arrangements always seem to amaze me! I love the dipper raffle tickets and the messages the guests wrote on the diapers, so cute! We all had a great time and the shower was an adorable hit! Thanks for including me Gianna!
