Something I’ve always wanted to do, is custom birthday sessions that really capture the essence of who the child is as they celebrate the start of a new year. Unfortunately, I have a much easier time showing you what I want to do, than telling you. Fortunately, my life is filled with cute nieces and nephews that I love dearly and know super well and are happy to help me out!
My sweet niece just turned 4. She’s a little mini mother who loves playing dolls, dressing up in my dresses and dotes on her younger siblings and cousins. I’ve had this idea in mind for her for a couple of years now and the timing felt perfect with her turning 4 and her youngest girl cousin small enough to fit in the stroller and just big enough to sit when propped up.
I asked Muddie Puddles if she could help me out with some vintage inspired outfits and searched Facebook marketplace until I found the perfect vintage doll stroller for our session.
Of course, it’s not really YOUR special birthday session if your Aunt styles the entire thing and doesn’t leave room for a little of your own flair. Ellie brought not only her own babies to her session but she brought her special mermaid necklace and her own sparkly shoes.
And as, as a girl after my own heart, she was sad to see me take the amazing doll stroller with me when I left. Don’t worry, I promised her she can play with it anytime she comes over ;)
I loved planning this birthday session for my sweet niece and I’m looking forward to creating one for your child next! Click here to get started!
