Today, I’m sharing a fun 1st Birthday celebration from this weekend for Anand. The party took place at Palisades Park, with beautiful views overlooking the ocean from the Santa Monica pier towards Malibu. The theme was based on one of Anand’s favorite books, A Very Hungry Caterpillar! This is actually the second time the family has had me photograph a first birthday. The first time was for Anand’s older sister Shana who had a birthday a couple years ago in the summer at the same spot. I love seeing this family grow and being a part of their milestone events.

Here’s some of my favorite highlights:

Location: Palisades Park, Santa Monica Califorina
Photographers: Sherri J & Kelly M
Food: Susiecakes & Bay Cities
Entertainment: Ladybug Music
Games: gardening, painting pots, playdough, ball pit, and bubbles
