Viva Nova

We celebrated Nova's first birthday with a fiesta bash with our friends and family!

It was so much fun. Here's what went down...

Adios,

Birthday Breakfast

For Nova's first birthday, we wanted to do something special just for her. We found an amazing recipe for fun-fetti pancakes with whipped cream flavored icing, and made Nova a special little crown for her big day. Grandma Raquel had also made Nova a lovely little one-sie she wore. She woke up and we went right to celebrating in style.

She doesn't get to indulge in sweets, so this was a fun little event. She definitely ended up loving these delicious pancakes though! (as did we...)

love her

cheers,

dad

So, we just so happen to be lucky enough to be friends with some of the most talented creatives and artists anywhere. Two of those friends are Brooke Schwab and Jamie Kutter. If you're not already familiar with either their work, you may recognize the names anyways, considering Brooke captured our birth story images and Jamie captured our wedding images!

Anyways, each of them blew us away with some incredible newborn photos for our little lady, and we'd love to share them with you now! We hope you love them as much as we did! Feel free to leave some love on their blogs if you'd like. We'll also include a couple gems on here so you can get a peak :)
