From 2011-2016, we had an inspiration blog featuring nurseries, baby showers, parties, and portraits that were submitted to us by photographers, designers, and parents. We no longer accept submissions or post new blog content, but we have left the archive here for those who have saved this content, or for new readers looking for inspiration

When the mom-to-be, Lilit, loves nature, but happens to love glamour too, an elegant "woodsy themed" baby shower was the perfect fit for her big event. Lilit's sister, Rima, hosted this fabulous party and hired Event Du Jour to plan all the details. The event space, Bistro Garden at Coldwater, was the perfect backdrop and it was filled with gorgeous florals by Celio's Design, including an impressive floral arch framing the dessert table. Guests enjoyed a delicious lunch set to music by a live pianist, and followed it with chocolate soufflé and gelato ice cream from the restaurant, and then even more treats by Roobina's Cake.

This session is the perfect example of a fantastic holiday family shoot with its beautiful photos, a well styled and coordinated wardrobe, and a darling family. And while this might be a family session, little Charlotte completely stole the show with her bright smile and effusive joy, captured so wonderfully by Bojana Korach Photography

It's time to start wrapping those holiday gifts, and we teamed up again with our favorite food blog, Our Best Bites, to make your presents a little prettier with a set of all new, totally free, printable gift tags.
