Event: Giada turns 1. Rock Hill, SC

So these types of events are rare for me but I do offer them on occasion. Turning down faces covered with icing and the squeals of little ones is tough for me to do. I guess its the mommy in me!

I was so excited to be part of Giada's first birthday, capturing this monumental day for her and her family. With horrible thunderstorms plaguing the area, the plans for an outdoor soiree had to be modified a bit. We made our way to the garage which ended up being the perfect setting for this precious butterfly themed party. Wouldn't you know that the sky cleared and sunshine appeared right as guests arrived. Perfect timing!

I just love being a fly on the wall for events like these. Taking it all in....watching the people...listening to the kids conversations...being with families....it truly doesnt get any better. It wasnt hard to see that this little girl is "everything" to her parents and brings so much joy to so many people.

Enjoy a sneak peek at the day that Giada turned one!
