This handsome little man just turned THREE and had an amazing backyard birthday party to celebrate with family and his friends from pre-school. I’ve been so lucky to be his birthday party photographer 3 years in a row now and each year it’s so much fun to see how much he’s grown, what he’s currently obsessed with, and how many new friends he’s making!
This kid is so sweet and is so well loved by everyone at school. He’s adventurous and smart and has the best little smile! He’s newly a big brother too! He’s been obsessed with cars and trucks since he was a babe, last year his party was Finding Nemo themed, and this year he had a Mickey Mouse theme! His Uncle Tom made his delicious themed cupcakes.
Before the party started, we made some time to take a few family portraits. Baby sister was sleeping at the time, so we started with a few of just these three, everyone in their Mickey Mouse shirts!
While waiting for his first guests to arrive, we played in the sandbox in the play area his parents just put in the back yard! It was gorgeous and shaded and as you’ll see, so much fun for all the kids to play in!
Once his first guests arrived it was party time! Throughout the day the parents chatted, the kids played so nicely all together in the play area and around the yard with various toys, everyone ate pizza and had delicious cupcakes. It was a beautiful day and so much fun to photograph!
Eventually baby sister woke up, dressed as minnie mouse – such a cutie!
Towards the end of the afternoon we sang “Happy Birthday”. Dad lit the candle, he blew it out on his first try to get his birthday wish, and then everyone loved all the cupcakes! (And I loved photographing their chocolate covered faces!)
Wishing a very Happy 3rd Birthday to this little guy! Looking forward to capturing your 4th birthday party next year! <3
