Little Sailor turns 1

This weekend, my best friend's baby boy had his 1st birthday party.  After lots of searching on pinterest for nautical themed ideas and hours of putting together homemade decorations, it all came together.  It was such a precious party and worth all the effort.  We had a great time decorating cupcakes, making wreaths and creating all sorts of other cute nautical decorations.  I'm so glad that this sweet birthday boy had such a fun first birthday party!! Love him so much! Here is a link to his sister's adorable "bubble gum" birthday party we put together a couple of years ago.  It was over-the-top cute too!

a little bit of everything

I can't believe I'm almost done with my second semester of graduate school!! While I'm in school, Sarah Backstrom Photography is on a temporary hiatus, and I have not been taking on any new client shoots.  I can't wait to start taking shoots again when grad school is over! I've missed being able to get behind the camera every week and capture and create images for my awesome clients.  To help with my creative itch, I have taken a few photos of my best friends and their little ones over the past 7 months.  Here are some images from those engagement, bridal and baby shoots. Can't wait to get back into shooting on a regular basis after I graduate in a little over a year!

Some of my favorite little ones...

I spent the weekend visiting with some of my best friends and doing some mini shoots of their little ones. We had such a great time!  I love all of these little kiddos so much! I can't believe how quickly they are growing up.
