think I’m starting to take a liking to photographing “1st Birthday” Parties. There are just so many priceless first time moments to be captured during this celebration. Blowing out the candles for the first time, eating birthday cake, & of course opening birthday gifts. All for the first but certainly not the last time. When I think of turning 1yrs old or a first birthday party, it reminds me of this birthday card in one of our family photo albums back at home. The card is an image of a 1 yr. old with his bib, birthday hat, & a face full of birthday cake EVERYWHERE. So, every time I photograph a child’s first birthday party & get the “cake” shot, it takes me back down memory lane.
These images are from Kirsten’s first birthday party on April 25. I’ve known both of Kirsten’s parents (Josh & Christina) for several years now & we even took a couple of classes together back in college. So it was an honor when Christina asked if I would photograph the party & Kirsten’s christening. Everyone really enjoyed themselves & had fun watching Kirsten eating cake & opening her birthday gifts.
I hope you all enjoy these images. I have several favorites but the one that stands out the most of the black & white image of Kirsten looking up into the camera with a face full of cake lol. PRICELESS….
Awe… I met Christiana through my BFF and she has the cutest little angel. These pictures are great! You did it again Chris!!
OH MY GOD! What a cutie! I LOVE THE HELLO KITTY STUFF!!!! I know Christina! OMG! Her baby is so cute! I’ve known her since she was in probably Jr. High. She is from the coast. She has always been a very, very sweet girl. So good to see her happy!
