We had a really big Saturday: Drew and my dad did the Dash for the Beads, we had a showing, we had Sofia's baptism and photoshoot and of course it rained all day. I want to write about it all because it was all really memorable but first! First! The photoshoot!
I was so flippin excited about this - I'd been daydreaming about it for the longest time and for it to come to fruition so perfectly was just what I needed to get some wind back in my sails.
Amy Barry did the shoot - she's totally part of the family now. She did our wedding, our maternity pictures, our first family pictures (in my header) and now she was doing our baby's pictures for her one year birthday!
I love Amy Barry
I picked up the chair on Friday, got the balloons while we had to leave the house for the showing and changed our plans at the last minute to shoot indoors because of the rain. Thank goodness for the cool stripes in the breakfast nook!
Getting the 'studio' ready

I die for that face
I am so incredibly grateful to Amy Barry, I'm so happy I met her, I'm so thankful for her amazing work and I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures. This was only the preview - I have no idea how I'm going to choose the picture that'll go on her birthday invitation if they're all this good!
Thank you Amy Barry! We love you!
They are so awesome! You did such a good job recreating that pinterest pic and putting your own spin on it. The stripes warm it up. She looks adorable. You could put one big pic on the front of the invite and a few collaged on the back. That's how our Christmas card was. Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are gorgeous! She is so cute and looks very comfortable having her picture taken. :)
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS! I love the pictures.

AMAZING! The chair is great and that sweet angel face is soooo precious!
ReplyDeleteI love the chair, and the photos look fabulous in your breakfast room! I haven't even thought about Inga's birthday yet. Doesn't help that I'll be traveling to Chicago on her birthday so it's going to be a bit mixed up. But I definitely want to do a fun cake.
ReplyDeleteDesiree, you rock! I'm so happy that this shoot looks so elegant in your home! I'm actually loving the fact that it rained :) I'm so thankful to have you all in my life!
ReplyDeleteLOVE :) The chair, the backdrop, the beautiful baby - pure awesomeness! Can not wait to see more & what you have up your sleeve for invites & her 1st b-day party! Good job Mama ;)

The backdrops are perfect! Thank goodness it rained! HAHA OMG! Love them!!! Please tell me you climbed in that chair with her and took a photo or two. Please. If you didn't, do it now. K thanks. I think I'm done gushing.
ReplyDeleteOh wait...there's a little more... SHE'S SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
OMG!! I love the whole theme so pretty :) Your little girl is darling! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so funny! We did take a couple of pictures as a family but she was getting fussy so I wanted to concentrate on getting the shots with just her. Plus my hair was looking a hot mess from the rain, so I don't even know if those family pics will ever see the light of day! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! Stunning!! Love the chair and Sofia is looking so grown up!
ReplyDeleteOmg! I luuuuuuurve these pictures! They are adorable. :)
