Bella’s Birthday // Phoenix Children’s Photographer

Uh oh. It’s been a super, far-too-long time since I’ve put a post. Yikes.

BUT, with an excuse (yep, I’m definitely riding on it all the way! Ha!)! We are pregnant!!! If you follow my family blog or have seen me lately, than you know…but we haven’t let the cat out of the bag on this blog yet! We are super excited! This sweet baby was VERY planned…as in, we gave ourselves just a short window to try so that I could deliver around my busy seasons of photography. Little baby cakes will be due in the beginning of August! So don’t be scared to still book (that was my very short and sweet plea to still hire me even though we’re preggers :))! We have a few short weeks until we find out what it is and of course I will be sharing. I just can’t help myself! I LOVED knowing with my first and can’t imagine this one any other way! I’ve been quite MIA due to a very rough first trimester and our little house has since been sick more on than off in the last month! We are so ready to be healthy and I’m VERY ready to take advantage of this energy in the second trimester!

On to the post at hand ;)….

If you’ve followed me a while, you’ve seen this cute family. This is one of my BFF’s, Christine and her super sweet family, Rowdy and Bella. And of course I couldn’t show up to Bella’s second birthday party without my camera in hand. I was going to share this on my personal blog, but then thought why not over here. Not that I don’t have about 15 posts lined up that I’ve neglected over the last couple of months!. Gotta start somewhere, huh?

Christine did such a cute job with her little details and Bella was SUCH a doll in her little Gap dress and sparkly Toms. LOVE. And…there may or may not be a pic or two of my littlest one thrown in too (yep…brag, cough, cough). Although, she never seems to want to look at the camera!

Christine makes her own cupcakes and they are to die for. I eat these things in my sleep they are that good.

So cute!

Maya and I both stood there drooling over all of the yumminess we were about to devour.

Making things mini just makes them taste better. Don’t you think?

Birthday Girl Bella!

Besties. One day, they will hate me for posting pictures like this that show their skivvies… hehe.

Gorgeous, gorgeous girl.

Not so sure about the ginormous crowd watching and singing to her.. :).

But she quickly got over the fear when she got to eat the cupcake.

She loved this little birthday gift. So cute.

Shout out to my amazing mom on this one. She drew a portrait of Bella for me for Bella’s birthday present. It turned out amazing! I mean…I didn’t grow this artsy stuff on my own! All from my Mama!

Bella, Happy Birthday, little peanut. We love you so very much and are so blessed to have you in our life! I’m loving watching you grow up into such a beautiful, smart, little girl!!! xoxo
