When Ellie’s mom contacted me to take pictures at her birthday party, I had no idea how big this shindig would turn out to be. Ellie is one loved little girl! There were TONS of friends and family members there to help her celebrate turning a year old. Ellie’s mommy made me feel just like I was part of the family. She was so gracious and welcoming as she motioned me right into the party and offered to feed me. The absolute best part was when I heard from Ellie’s mommy after she saw the pictures. She said, “It truly means the world to me to know that I will be able to look back at these pictures one day and see myself in them for once.” And that’s exactly why I love doing this.
