All those in-between moments in life are so special. Especially the ones where life is celebrated during a birthday. I had the pleasure of photographing this party in New Hampshire at Pickity Place. It is set in the woods with little coves and ivy everywhere. 

Every once in a while I get to photograph showers for brides and mothers to be. On this particularly overcast day at the Chocksett Inn in Sterling, MA, I had the pleasure of photographing a shower for mother and her baby girl.

Documenting milestones is important and being able to photograph little L's first birthday for my friends Ranny and Pat was special. With all the craziness of preparing, setting up, and making sure everything is in place it was nice to be able to stop time and be able to give them something they can look back on and remember with fond memories. The party had to move inside because of the colder than expected temperatures but I think the theme went well with where we were. The carpet matched! Here are a few photos of how it looked before the party got started.
