Birthday Party Shoot: Baby Vida turns 1 in Clemmons, NC

My co-worker Lauren has an adorable baby girl that she is constantly snapping shots and sharing all over Facebook, so we were both super excited to have an opportunity to have a high quality shoot for baby Vida's 1st Birthday Party!

I got there a little early so I could take photos of everything Lauren had prepared before guests devoured it all. It was clear that she had put a lot of time and effort into all the food and decorations - it was like Pinterest had come to life!

Grandma "Ya-Ya" and Grandpa showed up and spent a few minutes doting on their grand-daughter.

Our co-workers Jesika and Justin (the ones I did a maternity shoot with last month!) also showed up with their newborn, Larkin. Vida gently introduced herself:

Vida's "boyfriend" baby Carter arrived, and they greeted each other in a very affectionate manner:

Carter was also a very photogenic baby... must be those big blue eyes.

After everyone had spent some time socializing, it was cake time! This cute pink smash cake was created by Lily Cakes. And as you can see, Vida was eager to dig in.

Birthday present time came up next, and even Vida looked awed by the number of presents surrounding her. She obviously has more friends than me! ;)

Of course, it became rather obvious that she was more interested in the wrapping paper than the presents themselves.

Mom, stop putting this thing on me!

As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter!

Thanks for having me out, Lauren and Jarrod! Happy birthday again to the lovely lady Vida!!
