you are my sunshine.

beautiful mommy-to-be.

JOY! That is the most appropriate word to describe the feeling when celebrating the arrival of a friend's baby girl.

I hosted my friend Courtney's baby shower for her little Ella Jane! I wanted to use supplies and decorations that would suit Courtney's fancy. Since her and Nehemiah didn't get married too long ago, it was pretty easy to know what direction to go in. I knew her favorite flower was baby's breath and that she prefers simplicity over anything. I had a lot of fun putting it all together with the help of her mom, stepmom and some of Court's lovely decorations. Below are a few photos of what I came up with!
