I really enjoy being a first birthday party photographer, and this was such an awesome event!
I first met this family the previous year when I photographed this <a href="https://stacietatum.com/blog/engagement-party-dallas-event-photographer/">sweet engagement party</a>. They&#8217;re one of those families that are genuinely such a pleasure to be around. They really seem to have a lot of fun together and I was so happy to shoot another event for them! The best thing about hiring a photographer for your special event is that you can actually enjoy yourself without worrying about having to think about taking pictures.
Their casual backyard birthday party was perfect. The weather was threatening to cause problems earlier that day, and I could see the dark clouds looming for awhile. But they fortunately stayed out of the way and it ended up being a beautiful, sunny day. Which was perfect since all the kids wanted to get in the pool more than anything else!
This sweet one year old is just adorable. She was sporting a fun animal-print outfit to match the &#8220;Wild One&#8221; them. I could tell she loved being surrounded by all of the special people that came to celebrate her. She wasn&#8217;t too crazy about cake smash time, but she was all about the pool! And I know one year old birthday parties can sometimes be kind of more for the adults, but I think you can tell from the photos that she had a really fun time!
Photographing birthday parties has truly become one of my favorite things. It&#8217;s got all of the best things to photograph &#8211; laughter, family &amp; friends having fun together, cute kids, candid moments, and awesome details. Be sure to check out all of the photos below to see all of those things!
