Cydney Turns One!

This past weekend we had the honor of photographing Cydney's beautiful birthday party.
The event was coordinated and designed by the amaizng Michelle Gainey from Lemiga Events at the Clara Meer Dock & Visitor center in Piedmont Park.

It was a beautiful day and kids and adutls enjoyed this fun-filled day alike.

There were many fantastic details and elements at this event and it is impossible to include it all in just one post. But I wanted to start with an overview of the party.

The color scheme of the event was navy and fuchsia... matching Cydney's beautiful dress.

Here are Cydney and mom Natasha arriving in style.

The receiving table, where guests could leave good wishes for Cydney and sign her very own football jersey :)


An overview of the fabulous inside space... for all the scoop and details about how this space was created I suggest you visit Lemiga's blog. I know Michelle will be much better at explaining all the in and outs of the decor and space.


The gorgeous centerpieces check out the blueberies!

Michelle put together the most amazing gift bags for kids...

This outside terrace was especially for adults, with games, a Wii station and the coolest couches and decor.


I love how the blue and pink drapes frame the space in the oustide terrace...


where daddy had some fun time with his little girl :)


There was a caricature artist on the terrace and most guests made sure to enjoy getting their cool caricatures done!

This is an overview of the kid's area., right by the lake.

Some cool play time with the most humongous bubbles you can imagine.

They also had additional entertainment with magic and balloon art!


And of course, inside the castle bouncer.

This is the tent where the kids had lunch and worked on crafts...


And then it was time for cake!


Of course Cydney had her very own cupcake!

well... all kids had cupcakes and they really loved them :)


I will be making another post about this event soon with some more images of this stunning event and some information on all the amazing vendors!

The images from the event were done by my husband Rich and myself with the collaboration of N'neka Scruggs.

Thanks Natasha, Calvin & Cydney for allowing Andrea Taylor Studio to capture this fantastic family memories!
