I LOVE the fact that this Mom and Dad recognized what a memory their son’s first birthday party was going to be for them – and decided to allow someone else to be handle photographing all the little moments so that they could sit back and enjoy the company of their friends and family, and take in all the preciousness of their little man.

This little guy was walking around enjoying his Elmo-themed party like he’d been doing it for years – whether it was chasing his little girlfriend around or toting around his Elmo balloon.  Needless to say, there was no shortage of cute moments to capture!

My favorite pic from the entire set.  Such a sweet, happy little guy.

And the best part of any 1st birthday party… the cake.  You never know what you’re going to get!

And 30 seconds later…

What a great celebration! THANK YOU for allowing me to capture this special day in your lives.  It was an honor to be there and I look forward to our next session when you’re back in town!  In the meantime… enjoy every moment as R grows!  Until next time 🙂
