I’m getting another nephew, and I’m crazy excited! One more month and we’ll get to welcome little Landon into this world. I can’t wait to spoil him with all of the things a favorite Aunt does, and capture his growth in photographs.

Last weekend was the celebration to prepare for him: Nicole’s baby shower! I had the honor of designing the invitations, but other than that, this gorgeous event was planned by Kerry, Lyndsey, Maureen and Rachel. They did such an amazing job transforming the Church basement into a pink and black themed party, that I had to share it with you. One of my favorite parts was the “Mocktail” bar, featuring delicious virgin cocktails!

Nicole LOVES pink, which made designing the invitations a small challenge. How do we let people know its a boy while using the chosen color scheme of pink and black? Well, the creative solution came in the way of a poem on the back all about Mr. Landon Parker. The guests figured it out, and Nicole was graced with many monkeys, baseball paraphernalia and books to surround Landon when he gets to his new nursery.

Congratulations Nicole and Matt! Looking forward to getting my lens on –I mean, hands on– Landon Parker!

Guests were invited to choose a book and leave Landon a message inside!
