I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!
What little girl or boy wouldn’t want an ice cream birthday party? I just had to share this amazing event that my dear friend Courtney put together for her daughter’s 9th birthday.

Invites from Etsy

Ice Cream Cart Courtesy of her hubby!
Our friend Courtney designed this party for her daughter after just giving birth to her 3rd child. I am not sure where she found the energy or the time, but she put together a smashing event that her daughter and all her guests loved. She also found time to shoot the party and blog about it, she owns her own photography company, Courtney Anderson Photography.
Courtney’s creative style and her artistic eye capture the most amazing moments, a gift only the most talented photographers have. Here a bunch of detail shots that Courtney captured during her daughter’s party:

Ice cream cups with a cookie cone party favor

I am loving the pink cones, how cute!

Mason jar beverages adorn with a cool straw- PERFECTION!

Make a wish!!

Time to Eat!
Her handy hubby designed the ice cream cart and her mama made this ice cream cone birthday cake. I think they all need to go into business together creating fabulous events, don’t you???:)

One Scoop or Two?

Courtney’s mom created the perfect cake for an ice cream party!
Here are some of my favorite shots of the birthday girl!! She is just adorable and I would go as far to say that she is comfortable in front of the camera :). Watch out, Vogue!

Best gift ever: Gift certificate to learn how to sew!
