Baby Shower + Maternity | Rachel

• Rachel is a past client of mine from 2009.  She looked more beautiful yesterday than the day of her wedding!

• The shower was held at Vittorio’s in Wickliffe and was SO delicious!!!

• Her bridesmaids are some of my favorite EVER.  Seriously.  The day of the wedding they couldn’t have been any more helpful and fun.  I simply adored them.  I was really stoked when they decided to get together and hire me as a surprise for Rachel’s baby shower.

• The bridesmaids also decided that a post maternity shoot was a MUST so they also made sure to get a cute umbrella and raincoat when they saw the weather was not going to be very dry.

• I am still amazed by how much hard work Crystal & Jacki put into the shower.  It was so amazing and adorable.  I am still astounded to how much work they put in and how lovely everything looked.  They made everything from the cake (Jacki is just AMAZING!) to the centerpieces to the favors.

• They did such a good job that I almost decided that IF we ever have kids I’d concede to having a baby shower (currently I’m still on the oh-hell-no side of things but they almost changed that).

Isn’t this cake AMAZING?  I can’t believe Jacki made it herself!

The guest of honor is here!  I was hiding in a nook so she didn’t see me immediately.

Isn’t this little girl CUTE?  I pretty much loved her on sight – she not only posed for the camera but had an adorable dress with SQUIRRELS on it!

Rachel’s Aunt made a scrapbook for the baby – some pages were filled out like the above and some were blank to be filled in.  LOVE!

This girl was a cutie too, she wasn’t a big fan of the camera but I was able to get a sweet picture of her and her Dad.

Rachel purchased gifts for the girls that all threw the shower which were necklaces from Etsy Store Fezinafelina.  I am in LOVE with them and plan on ordering some ASAP.  Each necklace was custom made for the recipient.  Here is Rachel Mom’s with the baby’s initials.  SO precious!

The weather was downright miserable so we didn’t take too many shots because it was SO cold and windy  but Rachel braved the weather for a few shots.

Got to have at least one image with the awesome ladies that threw the shower.  If you can’t guess… it was REALLY windy!
