Why should I hire a professional photographer to capture my child’s birthday party?
RELAX AND CELEBRATE
Whilst we put so much effort into organising our children’s birthdays, we often forget about how we’re going to preserve those precious memories for tomorrow.
Alas, the morning of the party we run around charging camera batteries, frantically scrambling for clean SD cards or phone a friend to ask them to bring their fancy SLR or worst, we just grab our phones. Then at the party, we’re so busy hosting and looking after the children we don’t actually have time to get the photos we long for, and then someone’s always behind the camera when the candles are blown out. So this time, why not just hire someone to take all that pain away?
Example Sessions
- Birthday Party Coverage – from a garden party to paint-balling to the Frozen cast presenting the birthday girl’s cake – whatever you have planned for a celebration, I can work my way around the venue capturing smiles and key moments.
- The first birthday is a special milestone and an occasion you will always want to remember. A Cake Smash session is great for first (or even second) birthday photographs. For more details, check out my Cake Smash page.
- Celebrate your child’s birthday milestone with an on-location family session capturing Mum, Dad, birthday boy/girl and their siblings all interacting together. Better still, capture the entire birthDAY. I can document you and your family as your little one wakes, capturing his/her face as they see all of their presents, their birthday brekkie, the host of special activities you may have planned for their day, plus any special visitors you plan to host. For more details about my documentary Unscripted Sessions, please request a copy of my New Client Guide.
Everyone on Camera
Another huge bonus to hiring a pro is that everyone is in the photographs. I know in my photographs from my childhood, there is always one parent missing. Birthdays are probably one of the rare occasions when you have an entire family in the room – close and extended – so what better excuse to update the family album?
The Details Captured
You can’t be everywhere at every minute. Plus you’ll be so busy entertaining guests and children that you won’t have time to capture the details. All those hours spent making cupcake decorations, bunting, chalkboard signs – they deserve to be preserved. And whilst your serving drinks, little Tommy is in the corner dancing with his Nanna – you missed that, but the photographer didn’t!
We’re only having a party at home, can we still have a photographer?
Of course! I love photographing families and friends at home. I’m used to working in various light conditions, and dodging furniture and pets. You will certainly have enough to do with hosting and enjoying yourself, so hiring a photographer just means you don’t have to juggle even more!

Useful information to include in your email: the age of the child, event date, party venue, roughly how many guests there will be (adults + children), if there will be an entertainer e.g. magician, clown etc
