her first birthday party . part 3 . the rest of it

Here you'll find pictures of Layla, pictures of friends, action shots and her first cake adventure.

The party was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

It was amazing to feel so loved, so blessed and to know that these people came because they genuinely love our daughter. 

Layla has brought such light and love into this world and her first birthday party was an amazing celebration of that.

We love you, baby girl. We ALL love you.

her first birthday party . part 2 . photo fun

It was a slightly windy and cold day. But mostly everyone braved that to snap a picture with Layla.

Backdrop: vintage sheets ripped into strips and tied to a strand of jute twine and whatever else is in my backyard.
