You've been planning her first birthday party since before she was born. You've put all the hard work (and hard-earned money, let's be honest here) into the planning, the decorations, the thoughtful favors, and the gorgeous cake. But sadly, unless you spend the whole party taking your own photos of every last detail, your sweet little one won't remember any of it, years from now.

Unless.... The Event Session.

Sit back, and don't stress. Just be the consummate hostess and enjoy this lovely party with your children. I've got the photographs under control for this extraordinary first birthday.... and for every special day after.

Event Sessions include....

• a mini-session with the Guest of Honor and his/her immediately family, just before your guests arrive

• detail shots of decor, catering, activities + special treats, party favors, all that work and planning... and that stunning cake!

• the birthday girl/boy at various activities, depending on your party theme/schedule

• candids of your guests -- and you (hooray!) -- having a wonderful time at the party

• post-cake-smash bathtime (age-appropriate, of course)

Typical shooting time is 3-4 hours. Final gallery usually yields 100+ images from which to choose. All prints and/or digital negatives are sold separately, either a la carte or via Print Collections / Digital Collections.

Tip: Families often choose to have me create an art book with these images as a final keepsake of this special day. I'd love to do the same for you!
