It's A Girl

Baby showers are always so much fun, and having a house full of boys, I love it when they are consumed with pink! Amanda is expecting her first baby. Alexa will be here any day now and to help her get ready there was a great baby shower. Myself, and my mom (also her aunt Roselle) hosted it for her with the hopes that it would be a perfect day.

Back in May I found a "MOTHER" wine glass that I knew I had to get for her, considering I collect these it was hard not to use it myself, but I found some restraint. Of course for the shower it housed punch. Lime Sherbet punch to be more specific, and really you cannot go wrong with that for any shower or tea.

Amanda looked gorgeous and was radiating some serious happiness, and she awaits for the arrival of Alexa. She has a great baby bump, and her dress really was showing it off. She is truly a beautiful mom-to-be.

Aunt Peggy, Amanda's mom, made an adorable cake and very yummy cupcakes. I had to steer clear of the cake, because of strawberries, but the cupcakes were pretty and yummy. She used to make cakes all of the time, and now with Alexa coming she is getting started again. This one was adorable!

Amanda wanted lime green and hot pink and everything was purchased with that in mind. Crystal of Crystal's Creations, in Chelsea made me an adorable wreath. I was able to customize this for Amanda's shower. I am hoping that she takes it to the hospital and also hangs it on Alexa's wall. It is stunning, and everyone loved it. Thank you again Crystal, your talents are truly amazing.

Amanda got some really great gifts, some fun, some functional. So many cute clothes. My favorite was the black onesie "my little black dress." Her stroller and her bedding were there and so many other great things! I hope that she had as much fun as everyone else did.

Congratulations on Alexa and know that we cannot wait to meet her and take so many pictures. Praying for a healthy baby and an easy labor for mom!

If you are expecting or know anyone who is do not think that the shower is not important enough for photography. It definitely is. Contact me and we will make it happen. http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ Monicathach@gmail.com (205)229-1865.
