This session was the second in a series of four with a lovely family in Vancouver. I first met the family back in March in their home and we spent an afternoon hanging out, Averi having a bath in the kitchen sink and then going outside for some fresh spring air. You can see the images from the first session here. For the second session, Amy wanted to capture Averi’s first birthday party and the day could not have been more perfect. The sun was hot and shinning, the parents came out with their tots, and Averi was surrounded by family and friends ~ what a better way to celebrate!
This super fun sweet vintage themed first birthday party was thought out to the nines by Mom, Amy. I loved all the little details she had created, nothing was forgotten right down to the water bottle labels! It was great to work with Jessica of Trove Vintage Rentals again. Amy had used a number of vintage toys from Trove as well as accessories for decorating the tables for that vintage-feel. For the party itself, Katie Bee provided delightful and fun entertainment with her guitar and had tons of musical instruments on hand for those busy little hands to play with. The birthday cake and colourfully wrapped truffle pops were created by Sweet E’s Pastries and Sweets in Kerrisdale ~ and I don’t think I have ever had a lighter tasting cake, it was delish! The cute sliders were from White Spot and Averi’s adorable little yellow birthday dress was from Redfish Kid’s Clothing.
Thanks to Amy, Alfred and Averi for making the day so enjoyable and for having me document such a big milestone in Averi’s life! Enjoy!
