Hats Off to Baby Catalina

Bundling sessions into a package is a great way to document an on-going family story. From bump to baby, including an epic shower in the middle, I was blessed to be along for the ride as we awaited the joyful introduction of Catalina Cay into the world! Those who follow me on social media may recall Coronado’s fine-art maternity session and how much love they received. Well, I was happy to see some of those prints included as decor.

This Kentucky Derby-inspired tea party overflowed with layers of soft ruffles, decadent foods, and elegant ladies (who know how throw a fun party!). Fancy hats topped off the heads of smiling guests, adding an extra point of interest in the wider angle shots of the room as well as casual small groupings.

Now who doesn’t melt at the sight of perfect little feet? I’d say the baker got them just right… but before the scrumptious little Catalina arrived, guests were having a delicious time at the buffet, which featured more sweet AND savory offerings than we could show here. Of course, for some guests it was merely a feast for the eyes, as they joined the fun remotely through a laptop.

Another aspect to the shower theme was the mother-daughter bond. Pictures of the two of them throughout Coronado’s childhood graced the wall next to the gift table. Grandma Sherri (affectionately known as She-She) came along to the newborn session to lend a hand, and we got a great portrait of her with her favorite little mermaid. I can’t wait to see this baby grow and what kind of cake she’ll smash in about a year!
