A Mardi Gras Birthday Party for Sterling Glenn Hurst!

We had Sterling's final first year portrait session booked for the day of his birthday at the studio, but Amelia called a few days before wondering if I would be able to attend his birthday party instead. Luckily for all of us, it fit right into my packed Saturday schedule so I went straight from Chloe's party to Sterling's! I loved the diversity of themes!! Amelia is from New Orleans and planned a Mardi Gras party for little Sterling, complete with a custom-made crown for the birthday boy, a King cake, metallic beads, hurricanes, shrimp, rice & beans, corn bread and a New Orleans soundtrack. It was just a blast to document!
Amelia dreamed of photographing her first baby's birthday party with a Polaroid camera- so finding a free one online the day before the party was a dream come true! Very vintage- love it!

Happy Birthday, Sterling!!

And now, here's the whole show!! Enjoy everyone!
