Birthdays


Weddings are my specialty, but kids’ birthdays are my true calling. I love the giggles, the ball pits, the colors and the true joy that birthdays hold. The same documentary eye I bring to weddings—anticipating moments, reading rooms, catching emotion—translates perfectly to the  fast, joy-filled chaos of birthdays. As a mom, I know just how important and hectic these days are. So I'm here to capture these big moments of your little ones, so you can stay present and still have all the fun photographed!

FAQ

 

How many photos will I RECEIVE?

I never put a limit on the number of photos my clients receive. You will get all the good shots! Usually clients receive 50+ images per hour booked.

How does the booking process work from start to finish?

  1. Reach out to see if your date is still available.
  2. Submit a 50% deposit via Zelle or Venmo to secure your date.
  3. That's it! The rest of your balance is due on the day of your event.

is there a minimum number of hours I need to book?

I require at least 2 hours to be booked for all event types. I find anything less makes for a rushed and stressed experience for the parents and kids, and that is the opposite of what we are trying to achieve! 3 hours is usually perfect. We can always chat to see how many you truly need!

Do you photograph adult birthdays?

Sometimes! Please reach out so we can chat about your party to see if we would be a good fit!
