Amy’s Baby Shower

Yesterday, I shot a baby shower for one of my favorite clients – my sister Amy :-)  She’s due to deliver our first little niece in September and Ryan and I could not be more excited about it!  One of Amy’s good friends Corina, hosted the shower on Saturday at the Claim Jumper Restaurant in Tempe.  Probably the largest baby shower I’ve even been too, the group pretty much filled up the private party room.  Here’s a shot of the room before all of the guests had even arrived yet.

The gals did a wonderful job of organizing and decorating for the celebration.  Here are a few of the fun details!  Everything they used for decor where items that she can use when the baby comes.

Amy loves turtles so the diaper/turtle toy center pieces were especially appropriate :-)

Loved the purple flowers – and the fact that the vases were baby bottles off of Amy’s registry!  So clever :-)

Some happy party guests . . .

Here’s a shot of Amy and Corina – the party planner extraordinaire!

And what baby shower would be complete without a couple of cute babies?  These kids got passed around so much I’m still not really sure who they belong too!

Here’s the Mommy to be getting ready to open gifts – doesn’t she have that adorable “pregnant woman glow”?  She looks so happy :-)

So cute!!! Notice the turtle theme?

Apparently the “Diaper Genie” is a MUST HAVE new mommy gift.  Gotta love Amy’s reaction to the cheering and applause of all the experienced mommies in the room.  Who knew something with the word diaper in it could be such a crowd pleaser?

And last but not least, MY favorite baby gift - tiny pink Cros!

They’ll match Amy’s perfectly . . .

Loving that baby belly!

Thanks to everyone for creating such an awesome shower for my beautiful sister!  And to that little girl in there – we can’t wait to meet you, but you’re not allowed to be born until I get to feel you move!  (She’s always quiet when I’m around - so stubborn already!  Guess it runs in the family, ha ha ha!)
