“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” ― Dr. Seuss, Happy Birthday to You!

I cannot believe this little sweetie is already one.  It seems like just yesterday I did her newborn shoot…and I’m just the photographer! I know her mom and dad feel like the past year flew by! To celebrate the big occasion, Audrey Bell’s birthday was celebrated in style with a “Brunch and Punch, Bubbles and Balloons” party.  Other than the extremely hot temperatures (it was the hottest day of the year thus far), the party went off without a hitch!  Everything about the party was perfectly planned and turned out beautiful.  Amy’s mom, Vicky, is the owner of Bella Sun Catering so you can bet the food was a-maz-ing! Take a few minutes to look through the photos below and you’ll get an idea of this perfect little party!

One thing I love about this family is that they use things that are sentimental to them.  Throughout the last year, we’ve incorporated furniture, boxes, quilts, dresses and other items into each photo shoot to make them unique and meaningful.  Each item we’ve used had a story. The birthday party was no different.  The cake and cupcakes were set up on Amy’s grandmother’s wooden ironing board. What a wonderful way to preserve the memories of those that mean the most to you, huh?  And I know I’ve said it before, but attending this party simply confirmed how much family means to Amy and Brandon – a tradition that will clearly continue as Audrey Bell grows up.  She is certainly one loved little girl.

That thought leads me to the last two photos in the gallery below.  You’ve got to check out what I like to call “the many faces of Audrey Bell.”  This little girl is probably one of the most expressive kiddos I’ve ever met.  I love it! She makes the cutest (and funniest) faces.  So blessed to have been able to capture some of them over the past year.

Enjoy!
