Birthdays Are For Celebrating!

I love birthdays, especially if it's the birthday of a little one. From first birthday cake smash celebrations to our oldest becoming a preteen and more, birthday photographs are always fun to look at. Syrus is Three!Taken about one month before he actually turned three to give enough time for ordering of party invitations!

You might have a big or small party planned. Personally, the last thing I want to do, is having to worry about meeting with a photographer the same day. Birthdays are for celebrating! So go ahead, enjoy the day, share some laughs and clap even when it took more than the first try to blow out all those candles.

Although you can hire a photographer to capture the entire day, it's also fun to dress up your child for special birthday photographs.

However, for those, you should meet with your photographer before the actual birthday. There are two reasons:

1. If you plan on sending out party invitations what better than to use one of those photographs from the session.
2. If you are anything like me, the anticipation of a birthday is gone the second the big day is over and all of a sudden getting those photographs is the last thing on your mind. Well, I have found myself regretting this decision many of times! I just don't want to do that again!

Syrus is three!The child doesn't always need to look at the camera for the photograph to be special! What three year old doesn't hide behind things or needs bribing in order to pose!? So when you book your birthday session, make sure you give yourself ample time to wait for your photographs to be processed by the photographer and still be able to get those invitations printed. Generally, I think 4 weeks or more is best! That way, you can get it off your to do list and plan for the big day!

Go ahead, contact me and then go back to planning the best party of the year!
