Baby Photographer Columbia SC – Birthday Party Photography
November 3, 2011This post is way overdue!!! I photographed Henry’s 1st birthday a couple of weeks ago and loved every minute of it! This is another one of my newborn subjects and my how he has grown!!! He is precious and sweet and sooooooo well loved.
His party theme was based on the children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. I was so impressed and excited to see all the amazing goodies and decorations Henry’s mommy prepared for the party that were inspired by the story, especially since this was one of my daughter’s favorite books. I still remember rocking her in her nursery and reading the story out loud to her and how we would make munching noises as we turned the pages and worked our way through the caterpillar’s menu. Sigh. Those days are so very very precious, and way too fleeting.
For this birthday party I did a short 1 year portrait session prior to the party and this is how I will be booking all future birthday party session……as a combination 1 year portrait and party session package. It worked out beautifully and I know the parents will be so pleased to not only have the great coverage of their son’s very grand 1st birthday, but some adorable portrait art as well:)
To the family, thank you so much for your warmth and hospitality with which you treated me. You have a lovely family and charming group of friends………so much love around Henry as he grows!!! I hope you enjoy your preview. Tell your friends and family members to check out the images and leave a little love on your blog post. Blog love makes me very, very happy and I like to say thank you to my clients for sharing my work. If you get 35 comments from unique visitors (with a unique email address), you can choose your favorite image for a 5×7 print on me! If you get 50 comments, it’s an 8×10!! It was such a pleasure working with you! Enjoy:)

an amazing shoot! what lucky parents!
ok, not to be nosey (but i am), would the owners of the house mind sharing where they purchase their art work? it is just stunning! what is the piece in the living room that looks like an old map or something? it is matted in a red. and then those pieces in the dining room and over the fireplace- wow. we live in ohio, so nobody will ever know we stole your thunder
