A couple of weeks ago I received an email from a couple asking me about taking photos of their daughters 1st Birthday Party. I thought it sounded like a heck of a good time. The only thing better than capturing weddings and engagements is taking pictures of children. Did I mention it was at a
PARTY, not just trying to set a 1 year old in front of a back drop and coaching them into smiling like our friends at Wal-Mart, Sears, etc… This was going to be a heck of a good time. As I corresponded with Jamie and Mike about their daughter’s party I learned a few more cool things. First was the reason for wanting a photographer for a 1st birthday party. They told me they wanted to document the party, but also wanted to enjoy the party with their daughter. I had never really thought of it that way, but it made perfect sense. So many times we have birthday parties, graduations, etc.., and we are too busy trying to take pictures of the event to actually enjoy it. And that is the whole purpose of having party to begin with. So... Jamie and Mike set out to get a photographer. Heck of an idea if you ask me. Then they told me where they were having this extravaganza. It was going to be a pool party!! How cool is that for a 1st Birthday party!! You get cake, ice cream, presents, and a swimming pool all in one day. That is what 1 year old dreams are made of…. Here are a few of my favorites from Macy’s Magnificent Masquerade…..
If only she could say what she was thinking when she shot this look my way :)
And a party wouldn't be a party unless some adults lost their inhibitions and found their inner child. Macy is going to have a good time growing up with a Mom and Aunt's like these...
