It is soooo much fun to be a kids birthday party photographer! Of all the days that are exciting and special and fun, birthday party days stand way at the top of the list. Everyone is excited to celebrate the birthday kiddo. And guests arrive ready to have fun! Birthday parties are also sometimes one of the few times when family gathers from out of town.
As a photographer, I know that I&#8217;m a good fit when people tell me they mainly want candid photos of guests having a good time. Capturing smiles and laughter will always be a priority to me.
The kids had so many fun things do and play with at this amazing party: a backyard absolutely packed with toys, a slide, bubbles, and pin-the-tail on the unicorn, among other things. Balloon animals and glitter tattoos by <a href="https://wowpartyart.com/glitter-tattoos/">WOW Party Art</a> were a huge hit! And speaking of hits, the unicorn pinata was tons of fun for everyone. 🙂
Last year&#8217;s adorable theme was <a href="https://stacietatum.com/blog/dallas-birthday-party-photographer-buc-ees-theme/">Buc-ees</a>, which was amazing. This year it was Threenage Dream, full of rainbows and unicorns. Everything was so pretty! It blows my mind to arrive to a birthday party of a child I haven&#8217;t seen in a year. So much changes in a year!

The adults were not left out of the fun, thanks to fun drinks made by <a href="https://www.allureandalchemybar.com/">Allure &amp; Alchemy</a> and lots of fun stuff to eat:
