Welcome party for baby Eloise

What an incredibly sweet and adorable family. My dear friend, Kate and her sassy Mom, Pat {pictured above} welcomed a bunch of beautiful friends and family to her home in Black Mountain, North Carolina to meet baby Eloise! Since I was one of the lucky few who had already met her {see previous post}, I thought it would be fun to capture some moments throughout the afternoon. We had a delightful time embracing her and indulging in the most fantastic spread....just look at how yummy the cake is!

Baby Zach & Mama Sara

This sweet little man is an absolute charmer! Zach and his wonderfully adorable Mom, Sara had me over last weekend to take some pictures. She is a terrific Mom! I had photographed Zach as a wee little one over a year ago, and to see how much he's grown, has been amazing. He's walking and talking. They grown up fast, don't they?

So, while it took him a bit to warm up, after about a minute or two, he was ready for the camera. Zach learned from his cousin, Chloe, that you have to say "cheese" when getting your picture taken, so that is all he kept saying! He melted me from that point on.
