I can’t even believe my little girl is ONE. I wish pregnancy flew by as fast as this past year has! Sheesh! When people say “they grow up fast”, they sure aren’t kidding! She went from being an itty bitty baby to a little person! I do miss her being small, but I certainly love the crazy personality she has now (even if some days it wears on my patience).

I’m not really sure how her birthday evolved to a Lemonade theme, but I really had SO much fun planning everything. I loved how all the details came together in the end. I can’t wait to incorporate more stylized mini sessions into my business, so I can do more of this sort of thing! Keep your eye out for some announcements about Fall & Christmas minis.. I have some ideas up my sleeve!

Let’s start with our Lemonade theme’d photo shoot that we did in order to create Cailyn’s birthday invites. Not only was it fun to set this up, but I laughed so hard watching her with all of these lemons!

and this is how her invite turned out!

I incorporated the Lemonade theme a bit more with her birthday party set up. We did pink lemonade, lemon bars, Lemon-Raspberry trifle, lemonade cupcakes, & lemon decor!

Oh & I almost forgot! We ordered some AH-MAZING cookies from Sugar Sugar! Desiree does a beautiful job with all of her cookies! I had emailed her a photo of some of Cailyn’s birthday decor and she matched the cookies up perfectly. They added such a nice touch.

I individually wrapped them in bags with tags as favors, but I just had to get a shot of the spread beforehand!

On to the birthday party photos…

and then we did a quick little shoot a few days later so that I could create the thank you cards…

she’s an animal! 😛

All in all, it was a good 1st birthday!! I still plan to do a separate cake smash/1 year photo shoot with her, but it’s sort of on the backburner at the moment. I guess I should probably get going with it though because if this year is anything like last year, she’ll be TWO before I know it! YIKES!!
