charley belle’s first birthday party, on halloween!
There’s always an exception to the rule. I don’t work on Sundays. But when Mary called to tell me she was throwing a Halloween costume party for her daughter’s first birthday and they would like candid images of the event, I was in. There is no way I can resist tiny children in costumes. This party was definitely an event I was unwilling to miss! So fun!!
Charley’s first cupcake is presented. Dad straps on the cupcake birthday hat…
…Charley Belle is not OK with this. The pup steps in the investigate the situation.
Apology accepted, Dad.
Let’s try that again. 
Charley Belle is not particularly interested in her birthday cupcake, but her guests are no dummies. Cupcake is whisked away before dragons and kitties acquire the target.

Bella 3rd Birthday Party & Ayla’s Newborn Portraits
Not even half way awake yet I drove over to Julia & Rand’s house for a birthday party at the crack of dawn: 10am. How had I managed to get roped into this on a Saturday?? But I walked in the door and entered a magic fairy land. It was impossible not to catch the pure delight & thrill that Bella was experiencing on her 3rd birthday. It was contagious. I had SO much fun photographing the frivolities- including a NEW baby sister, Ayla, just a couple weeks old! that I stayed an extra hour!
Bella & Ayla’s mom, Julia Sentes, is not only beautiful, intelligent and sweet- but super artistic! She hand-made all the crowns & decorations for the party! 
A bouncy castle for the party- does it get any better than that when you’re three?
Just some whimsical flitting about that I happened to catch.
Get a load of this cake!!!! Straight out of Candy Land!!
A moment is shared between Princess Bella & Princess Ayla. 
Rand with his newborn baby girl. So tiny is his arms.
I think every mother on the planet recognizes this as the universal “milk coma.”
I cannot get over how tiny they can curl up. What a love bug.
A bit of a birthday party breakdown over the blue chair.
Trying to get a bunch of three year olds to sit for half a second is crazy hard!! (Check out 2nd row far right with the doll baby bottle!)
And 3 seconds later we’re done!

A Mardi Gras Birthday Party for Sterling Glenn Hurst!
We had Sterling’s final first year portrait session booked for the day of his birthday at the studio, but Amelia called a few days before wondering if I would be able to attend his birthday party instead. Luckily for all of us, it fit right into my packed Saturday schedule so I went straight from Chloe’s party to Sterling’s! I loved the diversity of themes!! Amelia is from New Orleans and planned a Mardi Gras party for little Sterling, complete with a custom-made crown for the birthday boy, a King cake, metallic beads, hurricanes, shrimp, rice & beans, corn bread and a New Orleans soundtrack. It was just a blast to document!
Amelia dreamed of photographing her first baby’s birthday party with a Polaroid camera- so finding a free one online the day before the party was a dream come true! Very vintage- love it!
Happy Birthday, Sterling!!
And now, here’s the whole show!! Enjoy everyone!

Chloe Ebadi’s First Birthday Party
Little Miss Chloe Ebadi is celebrating her FIRST birthday! And I was there to capture all the luscious details and expressions…what a way to spend a Saturday! I have discovered a new love (is there really room for another??)… Birthday Parties! Please call or email the studio if you are considering having the party for your little one documented. It is so much fun and the images are priceless!
Who would guess that this would be a baby’s first reaction to the her first taste of sugar?! “Bleeeck,” she says!
Holly’s First Birthday
I’ve been documenting this little lady’s life since the beginning! I love being such a permanent fixture in my clients’ lives!! And today Holly’s First Birthday was celebrated with balloons and a newly renovated home! She could not have been any cuter in her little Easter dress! She is in the most adorable phase right now and I cannot get enough of her!! Camper, however, is not quite so sure about those balloons…
