Brianna shares Harper's beautiful celebration: I wanted Harper's first birthday party to compliment her sweet and sunny personality, so we got all of our closest friends and family together for a backyard picnic.

After days of sewing, and baking, and crafting and cooking, the end result was something that was incredibly dear to me. The little handmade details like the baby-sized bunting and the felt party hat made by an incredibly talented friend instantly became important pieces of our (albeit brief) family history. (And, luckily for us, we count a few incredibly talented photographers among our friends, who were able to capture this milestone in gorgeous ways.)

Thanks Brianna!
