My baby’s Minnie Mouse party – Salem Oregon photographer

I think EVERY ONE should hire someone to take pictures at their kids parties!  You get to be in the pictures (you may not like it now, but years from now you’ll treasure it!) & you get to JUST enjoy the party!  Also, you’ll get more pictures than you would have “gotten around to taking!”  My friend Michelle from Casual Camera Photography took on my daughter’s 2nd birthday party!  It was fun to take some myself, have her take some, and not have to deal with editing them!

My baby girl, Sydney, turned TWO on August 4th!  We celebrated her birthday the weekend before!  And yes, as you can see we got AMAZING pictures, b/c I planned the party all around the time of day with GREAT light!
This should have ended up being a Tangled/Rapunzel party b/c in May/June she decided to become only in to “Punzel” but I had already started the Minnie Mouse theme because when she was 17-18 months she was in to Caillou and Minnie Mouse.  You see which one makes for a cuter party of the two!  That, and her brother had a Mickey Mouse party for his 2nd birthday!

HUGE shout out to Brittanie (cupcakeskissesncrumbs.blogspot.com) for the food!  We brainstormed ideas on food, and she created it all!  All I did was the fun paper decos!
