Sara Turns 2!

I can't believe our little girl turned 2 this past summer - The last two years have gone by so incredibly fast!  We chose an Elmo theme for her 2nd birthday party since he was her favorite at the time.  We were pregnant with our second child and had found out shortly before Sara's party whether we were having a girl or a boy, so we decided to incorporate the gender reveal into Sara's birthday party!  The batter for the cake was colored according to what sex our newest addition was going to be.  (Our families threatened to poke the cake before the party even started so they could find out what we were having!)

 

She was SO excited opening her gifts!

 

It's pink!!!

Sara's First Birthday Celebration

For those of you who know me, know that I LOVE planning parties!  My major in college was Hospitality Management, I was a waitress/server at a banquet facility in college and a Catering Manager for a private club here in St. Louis.  I love thinking of all of the small little details, so planning Sara's first birthday celebration was right up my ally!

 

LOVE these "puffs" - easy to make!  (I'll feature a tutorial in another post)

All of the cousins!

 

Sara 6 Months-1 Year

I haven't posted in a long time, so I have a lot to get caught up on.  The last post of Sara was when she was 6 months old (She is now 2 1/2!!!!)  Instead of creating a separate post for each set of photos I took, I will just include a few of my favorites from the second half of her first year.

 

She is just too darn cute!

 

 

Great family photo - Memorial Day

 

Happy New Year!

I started this blog to share photos I have taken, but I have decided to put a different spin on it.

I am going to blog more often and incorporate other topics into my posts.

Captures of a Lifetime isn’t just about photos  it’s about living life to the fullest and capturing those moments as memories, whether it be a photo, a story, or simply just a memory in your mind.

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to be inspired and to inspire others, and to live life to the fullest.  With that being said, I am going to dedicate this year, 2013, to being the best that I can be and I’m going to use this blog as a form of accountability by documenting my inspiration and journey, so others can, in turn, be inspired too.

Cheers!
