Birthday shoot

 My awesome friend Erin helped me out with this photo shoot for Aria's first birthday! She helped me get set up and helped to keep Aria happy (the sucker in one of the photos below was one of the many attempts!) and I loved how they turned out. Peggy, Kyle and Alecia also helped a ton with the trying-to-keep-Aria-happy task that should have been an easy job, but on this particular day, it wasn't. I'm going to have to take them a fresh batch of cookies or something! 

I just LOVE this one! Even though she is crying, she's just so pretty! Plus, "it's my party I can cry if I want to!"

Here are some of the unfortunate out-takes. She was not a fan of the whole ordeal. The above pictures turned out quite well!

More trying to get away. 

More calming her down. 

And here's this one again because I just LOVE it!
