Nolan's 1st Dino-mite Birthday Party!!!

On May 19th, I was asked to take the pictures for Nolan's 1st birthday party. Everyone seemed to have an awesome time and the young boys had so much fun together. Here are some pictures from the party.



Getting ready for my 1st birthday cake!!

Having to be restrained so he wouldn't grab the candle. Nolan loved having everyone sing to him.

Opening presents with my daddy there to help.

Making sure he reads all the card and knows who the gift is from. Too funny!!!

Nolan's 1st Birthday photo shoot.

On Sunday, May 6th I spent some time with this sweet boy taking some pictures to celebrate his upcoming 1st birthday. His mom was super prepared with cupcakes and a #1 candle, some colorful balls, and dinosaur figurines. We had a good time capturing this moment in Downtown Asheboro.

In Asheboro there is a train mural on the side of a building. We put Nolan on this train track and got some pictures. He is such a happy boy.

Not quite sure if this man is real or what? He was funny checking this man out.

What a fun morning spent with Nolan. He did a great job.

Haven's 1st Birthday Party

On Saturday, May 5th I took pictures for a sweet family. Their little girl was celebrating her 1st birthday. Dana and her husband, Jason, used the owl theme for Haven's party. Dana told me that Haven used to make this noise when she was an infant that sounded like an owl. So, they started calling her their little owl. It was only appropriate to use the owl to decorate with and celebrate this first year of her life. Here are a few pictures from the day.

Haven's 1st experience with sweets. I think she liked it.

Easter pictures on the farm

The Saturday before Easter I was able to head down to my parent's home and take a few pictures of my neice and nephews on the farm. I was quite pleased with how they behaved and how the pictures turned out.

We staged an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Brantley enjoyed picking up the eggs, but would drop them while walking around the yard. He would look in his empty basket and have this confused look.

Chloe was not being a willing participate of the photo event. All she wanted to do was play with her Elmo. This picture was a result of taking Elmo away from her. She's just like her mom...Stubborn.

Such an adorable photo of 2 cousins playing with a baby chick. They were hillarious to watch.

Brantley loved the baby chicks as you can see from the next 2 pictures.

Nolan didn't mind them; he just wanted to look at them from a distance. I was amazed we were able to get the chick to sit on the arm of the chair for so long.

A Baby Shower for Misty

On Saturday, March 31st I attended a cute baby shower for a little boy soon to arrive. Charlie is due in May and his family is so excited about his upcoming arrival.

Misty looks absolutely beautiful and radiant. She has 8 weeks left in her pregnancy and is so excited to meet her son, Charlie.

The mantle looked adorable with the blue and white decorations.

A super cute outfit for Charlie to wear.

The mother to be with the grandmothers to be.

I really enjoyed being a part of this sweet shower. I know little Charlie is going to be spoiled rotten. I look forward to taking some pictures of Charlie once he arrives.

Will's 1st birthday

I was very fortunate to be able to take the pictures for little Will's 1st birthday party. What a fabulous theme it was! He had a radio flyer red wagon theme and they incorporated the red and aqua blue into everything. His mom did a great job and I am sure there were many long nights getting all the decorations ready.

Will looked super cute in his smocked birthday party long-all. Look at those sweet baby blue eyes.

Will's mom had a really cute idea to hang a picture from each month during his first year on the mantle. It turned out really cute and was a neat focal point in the room.

The birthday day had an outfit change and was ready for his birthday cake. I just loved the high chair that his family had found for the party. He dad painted it red to go with the theme.

What a sweet family! I really enjoyed being of part of their son's special birthday.

A Whooot of a Time!

On Saturday, February 4th I attended a sweet little girl's 1st birthday party. Back in September I took the photographs of her christening and I can not believe she is already 1. The owl theme decorations her mom selected were just adorable and I got some amazing shots of Libby in her super cute outfit.

I thought this picture was just precious of the birthday girl crying when her mom put her special party hat on. It reminded me of the song "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to..."

The cupcakes were adorable. I wish I could post more pictures of all the precious owl decorations displayed around their home.

Libby went in for the kill. Who needs hands?

I thought this was a super sweet moment to capture of Libby sharing her first sweet treat with her daddy. 



After a quick outfit change the birthday girl was ready to open her presents. Libby was more intriqued by this bow off a presen than the gifts she actually received. 

I had a great time at this sweet girl's first birthday party. It's hard to believe how fast she has grown.
