i’ve had a couple of awesome willette followers email me asking if i had a “shot list” for birthday parties. and, though i am not an event photographer or a kiddie party photographer, i DO have a little list here. i’m super happy to share it with all of you mommas, daddys and photographers. this is my “must have” shot list for children’s birthday parties!
i’m in the midst of planning baby girl flossie’s first birthday party as i write this (can you believe baby girl will be one in four short weeks). this is going to come in handy as i plan for her birthday (and, if you’re local to me and reading this….does anyone know any children’s birthday party photographers? i’m in the need for one for sunday, december 12th).
and no post is complete without a photo. this one is from my son’s birthday party two years ago (it was a star wars part at tidewater gymnastics academy).
