What I absolutely adore about photographing children's events are the colorful decorations, dedicated parents putting on a great party, and kid stuff that kids do. I love capturing moments (cliche, yes, there's a reason) and this birthday was no different. I have been building myself as a children's birthday photographer, and I very much enjoy attending them as a photographer.

This past July, I covered this first birthday party with a carnival-theme. The venue was at Willows Event Venue, and its naturally-lit windows are ever gorgeous. Parties that are heavily themed and ladened with decorations, goodie bags and a nice cake make for a wonderful time shooting birthday details! In the outdoor area, there was a bouncehouse and a fishing game involving a swimming tub that our birthday girl got very obsessed with! Little Miss V also had a cake for smashing, but she preferred to dip her toes in it instead.

Check out my favorite selections from this birthday. I especially love the birthday girl's curiousity and adventures with the swimming tub.
