Emma's Birthday Invitation Photo Shoot

For Emma's first birthday, the theme is "You Are My Sunshine". I had seen all kinds of creative things to do for the party. I began getting things ready a month ago, but never actually did anything with it...until today. Today Michael and I decided that we need to get a photo of Emma to get the invitations ordered and sent out. Here are a few of the "good" ones from the photo shoot:


The scene.


About to lose one...


And Emma's outta here!


Sitting away from our photo shoot.


Happy girl :)


Just walking away from us.


I mean it; I've had way too much!


Pointing at something Daddy has.


Looking at the flowers.


Emma touching the pink lantern.


Emma kicked over the flowers.


Then got upset and started to cry.


Looking at the lanterns.


Starting to get a little crabby and tired from the photo shoot.


"What are those lanterns doing?"


"I just can't take this anymore!"


Trying to keep her distracted.


About to lose her again; the balloon can only entertain her for so long.


Emma trying to grab a lantern.


Emma's got the lantern in her hand...she's got the whole wide lantern in her hand...


Up walking around.


"What is this thing and what does it say?"


Absolutely beautiful!
