FINALLY!
Yes I'm that mom, that doesn't prioritize my own kids pictures and takes care of other families first. I know I'm not alone in this guilt though!
Since it is summer time I feel that it is fitting to share my little Ry Baby's special 2nd Birthday Pink Lemonade Styled Shoot and Party.
Her birthday falls right at the end of summer which means it was stinkin' HOT when we did this shoot, so I set up the scene while she played inside then I just let her do her thing in the yard (with minimal coaching) until she was tired of the heat and bugs! Before posting this I decided to re-edit all of the images because my style has evolved a little bit over the last year and I am still in love with the images we got on that sticky day.
I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration from our little play date in the yard!

| Love Ry's dress? Her auntie bought it online from JustFab kids. Ohhhh if only it still fit her! *mom tear* |
 |
| My props were an easy find thank goodness. The banner, lemons, and pink lantern were all from Hobby Lobby. The suitcase and chair were a trade from a vintage second hand store. The flowers were a happy blessing from the previous owners of my mom's house! |
 |
| Party time! We enjoy having summer birthday's good ol' backyard style. Ry's little lemonade stand table was made by her grandma and cake made my yours truly. I'm working on the baking skills. ;) |
 |
| Make a wish and eat some sugar! Big sister thought it was fitting to wear her princess dress to the party, but of course! Cupcakes also made by me! Funfetti cake, strawberry frosting, lemon slice candies. |
