Molly Turns 3 | A Golden Birthday Session


This session is especially close to my heart—my sweet Molly turned three this May, and we celebrated in the best way I know how: with a birthday photo shoot full of sparkle, sugar, and her favorite things.


This year was her golden birthday—turning 3 on the 3rd of May—so of course, we went all in with the gold theme. She wore the prettiest gold dress, twirled in front of a shimmering gold backdrop, and topped it off with a cupcake and a whole lot of giggles.


After all the birthday glam, we did a quick change into something just as sweet and pink (her favorite color)and a soft pink backdrop to match. I feel like saying pink is her favorite color is an understatement. Everything must be pink. Pink has always been her favorite color, so it was the perfect way to finish the session with something that felt 100% Molly.


It’s hard to believe my baby is three. She’s curious, silly, confident, and so full of personality—and I feel so lucky to have these photos to remember exactly who she was at this moment in time.


Happy Golden Birthday, Molly Dolly. You light up every room!
