Growing up, I was always the friend who brought their camera and was in charge of making sure that our lives were well documented. So when Ellie’s mom reached out and asked me to take pictures of Ellie & her friends during her surprise birthday, I was so excited to do it! I remember just how special all of my high school friends were to me and I knew that this was going to be a fun session.

All of the girls arrived early and were so excited to surprise Ellie when she came down. One of her friends had asked to take her to dinner and the two of them were upstairs getting ready while everyone else was excitedly waiting outside. We waited quietly on the back porch for them to come down to “go to dinner” and Ellie’s face was PRICELESS when she saw that everyone was there for her. And to top it all off, Ellie’s mom had surprised the girls with an awesome limo to take them to dinner and then out for dessert afterward.

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of such a fun celebration - you are so lucky to have such a strong friend group and you are clearly so loved by so many people!
