…full of love and fit for a perfect little princess. i had the honor of photographing a rather splendid birthday party for a precious little girl, celebrating her first birthday. little miss claire was surrounded by people over-flowing with love and support for her on her very special evening. her mommy and daddy went above and beyond to make it a lovely and meaningful evening for their sweet girl. all of the love and effort they poured in, certainly showed.
here’s the birthday girl herself, looking as adorable as ever.
a little birthday love from mom and dad, nicky and adrian. 
some of nicky’s adorable detials. 
i love this. trying to stay cool on a desert summer night. 
seriously, yum. 
just a couple of miss claire’s sweet little friends that joined her for the big day. 
we did a super short little mini-session with claire before the guests arrived. since claire isn’t holding her little head up yet, i busted out my baby buckets again. 
this is by far, the largest pinata i’ve ever seen. 
despite the challenges that they’ve faced with their little girl, adrian and nicky have continually glorified and praised God for their precious gift. in an effort to conitnually do so, they had a worship set at the party. claire enjoyed the music in her grandmother’s loving arms. 
happy birthday sweet girl!
