Bright. Lovely. Pink. Joyful. Laughter.

I can still hear the sounds of joyful laughter and tears in celebrating this 1st time mama-to-be, as she was surrounded by her best friends and family at this absolutely beautiful baby shower. It was held at the Venetian in Garfield, which is an outstanding venue with great food, service, and a variety of beautiful rooms for many events and celebrations. {and their creme brulee is to die for!}

This was the first image I posted to social media; a candid, quiet moment amongst life long best friends that Jill just so happened to look up and catch my camera for. <3  It’s a favorite of mine!

Her family decorated the room adorably, sticking with the theme of gray, pink, and elephants which is reminiscent of the babys room. Each table had a different holiday bib for Jill to take home. Such a nice touch!

The Baby Pool was a big hit! …and everyone left super sweet (and sometimes silly) wishes for the princess.

Throughout the celebration there was a delicious buffet, served entree’s and dessert. Guests played games, I took a series of group photos with mama-to-be, and lots of fun was had!

Here’s an adorable photo of Jill and her mom, giving a speech. This is also where she announced the babies name for the first time.

I just love this little guy hiding in the gifts!

Generosity abounds. This family was given so many thoughtful, sweet, and useful gifts to help them out with their first child.
