Happy Birthday Andrew! {Los Angeles Birthday Party Photographer}

This weekend I photographed Andrew's 1st Birthday celebration at Maggiano's at The Grove and it was yet another fantastic event! Andrew's mom was the ultimate "do-it-yourself-er" and her attention to detail was impeccable. The party's theme was Elephant & Friends and the color scheme was classic blue and white. I was excited to see my favorite balloon artist was there (David from Balloon Twister) to entertain both the kids and adults :) The party even had a puppet show at the end which was a fantastic way to keep the kids entertained while the adults chatted and finished dessert. Here are just a few of the many adorable photos from Andrew's party...

Happy 1st Birthday Mathew! {Orange County Birthday Party Photographer}

I was so happy to document little Mathew's 1st Birthday Party at The Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney last month! His entire group of family and friends were so sweet and delightful and an absolute joy to photograph. The birthday boy was also in great spirits throughout the entire party which is quite a rare occurrence with babies ;) Everyone at The Rainforest Cafe was also incredibly accommodating and attentive and made the party a huge hit with all the guests... the food also looked fantastic might I add! Here are just a few of my favorite photos from little Mathew's birthday, enjoy!

Happy 1st Birthday Jianna! {Los Angeles Birthday Party Photographer}

You may recognize this family from Jianna's adorable "Destroy the Cake" session on the blog last month... just a few weeks later we photographed them again at the little lady's 1st birthday party! Her birthday was at Maggiano's at The Grove and was quite beautiful. Her pink and yellow color palate was the perfect combination girlie and modern and the flowers were exquisite. The cupcakes on her table looked extra scrumptious topped with pink bubble gum, brilliant! A big hit at the party was the caricature artist, we were even tempted to step in and get ours done but didn't... maybe next time ;) Here are a few of our favorite photos from Jianna's party... enjoy!
