Naomi Ashbel's First Birthday

A simple collage of Pretty Mommy Aimee, birthday girl Naomi and all the colorful sweets! 

Our good friend Aimee and her family has been planning the celebration of Naomi's first birthday for a long time now. 

The family decided to have Naomi's Dedication and Birthday Celebration at the same day. 

The venue of the event was at Largos Nature's Garden which is at the heart of Cainta. I personally did not think that there was a venue as nice as that in the middle of bustling Cainta. It was a big venue with a high roof and lots of different plants, fixtures, Christmas lights and varied decorations.

For me, what made the party extra special was the fact that we got to hang out not only with our good old College friends but we also got to spend time with our godchildren. We took turns taking care of 2 month old Marcus and Bradley. It is always funny to think that the once bottles of alcohol present during our gatherings has now changed to bottles of baby milk but what has not changed is the great friendship that has lasted through these years. 

Naomi had an M&M's themed birthday which meant lots of colors and sweets! :) 

Sponsors got up the stage for a message during Naomi's Dedication .

It was amazing that during Naomi's Dedication, every time the Pastor would say Naomi's name- Naomi would look at the Pastor like she knew that he was talking about her. 

Naomi is really an amazing girl who did not cry one bit!

Food was prepared by the Corporate Chef of Linden Suites, 

There was just one challenge with the event shoot since the place had a green tinged roof which affected the lighting and shade of our photos but of course we had to make the most of it. :) 

It was great covering Naomi's first Birthday celebration and Dedication and being a witness to the love that her family has for her and how miracles happen every day- we just have to look harder and sometimes we also have to look with the wonder of an innocent child. 

Happy Birthday Naomi Ashbel! :)
