Isabel's baptism

Isabel was able to be baptized by her dad on Oct. 12, the day after her 8th birthday. Brian's parents, his sister Kelley and her husband Leo and their kids Cameron, Parker and Cesaleigh, as well as my brothers Nate and JJ, and Nate's wife Alli and son Aidan joined us for the special day, as well as a number of our friends.

My mom made Isabel's dress; she had also made her blessing gown. My photographer friend Kristie got a couple of shots of Isabel in her dress after we had family pictures done, but we ran out of light and time and weren't able to get some additional pics I wanted, so my sweet friend Lindsey, also a photographer, offered to do a photo session of Isabel in her dress with some fun ideas incorporated, like hanging her blessing gown in the background; I love the idea of the three white dresses and hope we will continue this when Isabel gets married.

Isabel chose purple as her accent color, which turned out so well. Loved how everything came together.

Special day! I had seen this idea for a cupcake dress months ago, and couldn't wait to make one for her. So easy, but so cute-

Family-

We are so proud of this little lady and her decision to be baptized.
