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!

Karen's Baby Shower

Karen is a friend of mine from school, and when I found out that she was expecting I was excited. First, I love newborn photography. Second, I always like to hear good news from friends, family, and even strangers. Good news should be shouted from mountain tops.

Most people do not think that pictures from their baby shower are that important but they are. This is a time when people who care for you and your new baby come together to celebrate and this is why I love shooting these events. I love when people are happy and at baby showers it is almost always.

This was no exception. Karen was glowing, and you could tell that she was ready. The shower was at her house, which makes it easy because mom and dad do not have to try to get everything home, which can be a challenge. The nursery was ready and absolutely adorable.

Amy, my friend and owner of Your Cake Baking Friend made the cake, at it looked amazing. There was a strawberry filling, with real strawberries, per Karen's request so I did not have any, but everyone said it was delicious. In fact, Amy had to cut it because nobody else would go there.

Karen got some great gifts for the new baby. Braylon will be his name, which is a great name! He will have so much, I do not think he will be wanting for anything. His brothers and sisters seemed very excited about the new baby. It is more than obvious that love will be in abundance for Braylon as it already is.

If you have a special event that you want recorded with photographs, let me know! We will make it happen. http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ Monicathach@gmail.com or (205) 229-1865.
