Arya's first birthday was an absolute blast, thanks to Kayla and Javier. They threw a beautiful mermaid-themed party complete with a water slide, splash pad, and amazing island foods. And just when we thought the day couldn't get any better, there was a surprise proposal!


Check out some of my favorite shots from the party below. If you're planning a special event and need a photographer to capture all those unforgettable moments, let's make it happen! Book your session with me at The Vinyl Lens today.
