Today, I am excited to share this adorably sweet first birthday party with y’all! Back in January, I had such a fun time getting to photograph Clare’s first birthday party at her parent’s home in Charlotte, NC.

Clare’s birthday party was cute & zoo themed. I mean, when zoo animals get donned with party hats…I mean, c’mon…SO CUTE! Before the party began, Clare’s mom (who has also become a sweet friend of mine…hey Caroline!) wanted to grab a few family photos! This is SUPER important during events like these because it’s when the entire family is together and all dressed up! Plus, think of how special these pictures will be to Clare when she’s older! *cue the sentimental happy tears!*

It was such an honor to document such a special day for special friends! Enjoy this sweet session & make sure not to miss Clare just covered in cake! She loved it!!
