Celebrating milestones is a right of passage for parents....and for parents of little girls, the dress up birthday is an absolute must! Don't worry boy moms, we have hosted some great boy parties too! If you are looking for something truly memorable for your child's birthday party a themed photo session with friends is a great way to document the celebration AND provide your child and their guests a memorable keepsake. Our party room has plenty of room for cake, food, guests and of course pictures.
Tips to help you get started:
- Choose a theme or let us know and we can help you design a look and style that showcases your child's personality and passions. If your child is very young consider a theme that highlights their favorite book or activities (or you can go with just plain cute). For older children, ask theme for ideas, they will enjoy the process of brainstorming themes.
- Choose a time of day that fits within the most cheery and active part of the day for your child and his/her guests. Remember to consider busy schedules for parents when selecting a day and time. One of the many amazing things about hosting a party in a portrait studio is that the light and the environment is always ready and great for photos and fun!
- Keep it intimate, a smaller group allows you and your child to be the best host. Giving you and them the time to connect with guests and family.
- Consider comfort. Costumes and outfits that allow for play and imagination are always the most fun, and more likely to be worn for a longer period of time.
- Plan ahead, the more time you give yourself and your guests the more anticipation it will build for them and the more time you will have to prepare stress-free.
- Enlist help...when you plan a photo party at our studio we make it fun and easy for you and your guests!
FEATURED SESSION
Ava's 9th Birthday! I can't even begin to tell you how fun Ava's 9th birthday part was at our photo studio in downtown Hendersonville NC was! Ava's mom came to us and wanted help throwing an unforgettable birthday party for her girl, and we set out to make sure it happened! I loved throwing my girl's princess themed party, and since they're grown up now, it was so fun to have them help me plan everything out for Ava and her friends.
When the girls arrived the makeup artist pampered them and styled their hairs so they felt like models for the day. We took the girls casual photos first in white shirts and denim. The girls had sweet treats and played a few games before getting dressed in their princess gowns for their final photos!
We're not sure who had more fun; the girls, the parents, or us as we took these princess's photos! The tween age is such a beautiful time in a young girl's life to celebrate. I love that we got the chance to capture these moments for Ava and her friends and family to cherish for years to come!
