Little Miss Elise's birthday was on New Year's day and before we could get into the festivities on that Friday, I met with her and her mom to do a quick shoot in her birthday tutu that her mama made.

We met at one of my favorite parks in San Jose around sunset and it was so much fun!

On Friday we celebrated her birthday with some friends complete with a smash cake! Her actual cake matched her dress perfect with all the beautiful swirls.

It was so much fun. Here are some of the photos from her mini-session along with some birthday photos.

I feel so honored to have been able to photograph her all these times. She truly is such a gem.

Happy Birthday, little Elise. It's going to be an awesome year!
