Evie's Birthday Party and a DIY Paper Party Hat!

Since this is my birthday week, over the next couple of days I thought it would be fun to highlight some birthdays I took pictures of for my friends' little girls.  The first party was for Evie, who has the prettiest brown eyes in the world.

(These first two pictures were actually taken during a photo shoot a week before her actual birthday.)

Told you she has gorgeous brown eyes!

Here's Evie with her pretty mama, Libby.  Didn't Libby do a great job on that banner?!

Now can I just tell you something about my friend Libby?  She is a details girl.  Take a look... maybe you can get a few ideas for your next birthday bash!

Impressive, wouldn't you say??

And instead of a traditional cake, Libby made raspberry cheesecake.  Yummy!

Yummy and pretty.

And of course there were presents.  Lots and lots of presents for this big one year old!

I think her friends were just as excited as she was.

Here's Mama helping Evie open a special handmade gift from our close friend Jennifer.

I made her a wall hanging.

And here's her proud Daddy.

Since Libby's birthday was a few days before Evie's, party hats were a must for both of these special gals.

To learn how I made them go here for a quick tutorial.

A basket of favors awaited each of the guests before they departed the party.

Thank you, Libby, for such a fun party and for letting me take pictures of your little angel!  

 

xo,

Pamela, a gal who is grateful for good friends
