Birdie Birthday Part 2: Oh, the Details! // Lulabella Photography

Yesterday I shared with you the adorable trash the dress birthday session with little Mia. Her mom put together a sweet bird-themed first birthday party, with the centerpiece being two bird cages found at HOM Furniture. Accented with paper-birdies from Papermefancy, the theme was carried out down to the last detail. My favorites were the cakes and cute birds nest treats.

Angie, you did a great job of creating a special birthday for you sweet little girl. Thank you for letting me share the day with you!

Hope you all enjoy the details as much as I did!

Birdie Birthday Part 1: Trash the Dress // Children’s Photographer

First birthdays are a huge milestone for all kids, and little Mia got to celebrate hers in style. Her mom is my friend Angie, who, I’ve learned, really knows how to throw a party. The details of this bird-themed party were amazing and deserving of their own blog post, which will be coming soon.

In the meantime I’m going to share the highlight of the party: the birthday cake. Angie had the great idea of getting a bright pink birthday cake that was sure to leave a mark on any pretty party dress that Mia wore. The idea was to have her attack the cake and see what sort of hilarity ensues. Well, it turned out that Miss Mia is a dainty girl that wasn’t terribly interested. She’s still adorable though.

Before the cake was brought in we were able to get some shots with her big brother and cousin. My favorite part of being a photographer is being able to capture these special family moments.

Enjoy!

First birthday fun! // Children’s Photographer

Spring has arrived, winter hiatus is over. After a nice break, Lulabella Photography is in full swing this spring. Today I spent some time at a first birthday party, capturing all the messy cake fun. Stay tuned for photos from that session. In the meantime, I’m sharing another adorable 1-year old  session.

I can’t tell you how much I love this family! Sweet S turned one in March. His parents are great friends of mine and it’s been so much fun to see how much their baby boy has grown this year. He LOVED the balloons I brought him and he gets really excited when you clap and cheer for him.

Enjoy!

T turns 1! // Baby Photographer

Just over a year ago I spent a very entertaining Saturday morning taking photos with a fun couple expecting their first child. One week later baby T was born. And look at her now! She’s a little one year old on the go. Judging by the way she wouldn’t sit still, she’s going to be a handful for her mom and dad. I think she inherited a little bit (ok, a lot) of her parents’ sense of humor. And it shows.

One little side note. This session had a very special guest. Grandma was in town for T’s birthday and we were able to get three generations together. I love helping to create memories!

Happy Birthday T!

Thank Heaven // Family Photographer

As the song goes, thank heaven for little girls. And on this beautiful fall afternoon, the heavens opened up. And rained. After taking refuge on the porch of the Burwell House, we were able to capture some great photos and beautiful fall colors with the W family. Look out for S and L, these adorable sisters are future fashionistas. I had a lot of fun hanging out with this family and I hope they did too – rain, skinned knees and all!

True story, as I pulled out of the park’s parking lot, it started raining again. My view on the drive home was of the most perfect rainbow. The little things can add up to so much!

Sweet Angel // Baby Photographer

Sweet angel indeed. Every time I look at this adorable baby’s face, I fall more in love with her!! The sparkling blue eyes. The rosy cheeks! Ok, so I’m a little biased. This little one is my niece (and goddaughter). M just passed the 6-month mark and I can’t believe how fast she’s grown. She’s so easy to smile, and when she does just lights up. She’s is also very inquisitive. She’ll be walking and talking before we know it because she’s always watching – very closely. Careful, you might get in a stare down with her.

My family is so blessed to have baby M and I’m very excited to share this session with you!

Mr. H turns 1 // Baby Photography

Yesterday was the perfect day to celebrate a birthday. H turned 1 and I was on hand to record this special occasion. His mom and dad are my bestest friends, so I’ve been following this little guy for a year. Hard to believe this little one is 1 already!! Happy Birthday H!
