Amanda’s best friend bought her a gift certificate, and she saved it for her daughter Brielle’s 1st birthday shoot!

Brielle is just stunning, and no, I didn’t do any “photoshopping” to her eyes! They are THAT blue! Here are some of my favorites (my absolute favorite is the one of her making a crazy face after the cake almost fell over… I just envision her thinking, “did you see me almost lose the rest of this cake?!”):
