I had the pleasure of doing Emelia’s Smash Cake session a couple weeks ago. And was also asked to photograph her first birthday party. I love all the candid moments you see while watching a party from afar. I feel that they best capture the joyful feeling of celebrations. But what makes my heart really sing is seeing my work on display at such an event. I’m proud of my work, but when my clients love it just as much and more, it means the world to me.
And of course it’s not a party without some tears shed! I don’t think there has ever been a first birthday, {at least that I’ve attended.} Where there hasn’t been a meltdown. I call it the meltdown hour. Its usually during cake time. The birthday child rings it in, and it slowly hits all the kids. I love it, because it always makes for great candid pictures!
Stay tuned, I have some crafting, and more sessions to share soon!
