When Amy reached out to me about Olivia's first birthday session, I had no idea how PERFECT Washington Oaks Gardens would be. I mean, obviously it's a beautiful park, but between her dress and Olivia's Pinterest-worthy, homemade hot air balloon, I can't think of a more fitting location!

Did you catch that the hot air ballon is HOMEMADE?! I was kind of blown away by the simplicity of it, but Amy put together a woven basket, wooden dowels, and a huge paper lantern to create the cutest first birthday prop I've ever seen (shoutout to Chris for lugging it all over the park for us!!). Don't mind me over here googling how to go viral on Pinterest with these photos!!

Happiest of First Birthdays to you, sweet Olivia! And congrats to mom and dad for keeping a little baby human alive for one whole year! In my experience, that's a pretty big accomplishment worth celebrating too! :)
