“We’re all mad here” 🎩🃏❤️

Tonight, we celebrated a very special 4-year-old girl on her birthday! It was an intimate and beautiful celebration with her friends and family surrounded by her side. For the last 2 years Ny’Aree has suffered from Aplastic anemia and needed a bone marrow transplant to survive. Her 9-year-old sister was an almost perfect match and thankfully saved her life! She is not out of the woods yet but she is on the road to recovery🙌🏼
We hosted an Alice in Wonderland themed tea birthday party complete with a surprise visit from Alice and the Mad Hatter! It was a beautiful night - from the decor, the food, the cake...... And the cutest venue ever!!

Happy birthday Ny’Aree!!!

We are excited to finally share some highlights from Harper’s cowgirl party of our dreams!

“Harper’s story is a testament to the power of hope and perseverance. Diagnosed with medulloblastoma in 2020, she bravely underwent treatment and was declared cancer-free in 2021. However, the tumors returned in 2022, and Harper and her family have been on a quest for new treatments and trials ever since. We are humbled by their strength and commitment to making the most of every moment. The cowboy couture party we threw for Harper will always be remembered as a celebration of her unbreakable spirit.”
🐎✨💖🤠
Special thanks to Adam Sally for capturing this party! 🥰
