Jefferson’s 3rd Birthday

I absolutely loved photographing this party! It’s true what they say about red heads, they can be a bit mischievous!  The birthday boy was as sweet as pie, but I just love some of the pictures I was able to get of that little glint of trouble in his eye. He had a some very adorable guests also. This is baby brother helping out in the kitchen, he’s such a cutie. I have never seen so much food at a little kids birthday and it was all amazing!

This is the birthday boy in the bounce house, which he only left probably twice the while evening. This was probably the only five seconds of non-bouncing. This was a very difficult shot to get because this particular bounce house had a very small opening. when they say only kids aloud they mean it. Although I know a couple of dads and one mom joined in on the fun and squeezed though there. The birthday boy loved it, the kids loved it so what more could you ask for, right?

When the birthday boy wasn’t in the bounce house or eating cake he was doing chores and mowing the yard. What a great kid! They had a huge yard to play in and let me tell you those kids more then took advantage of it.

Sorry I know my logo is covering his face but this was so fun, because he was going through pulling all the balloons down and threatening the girl behind him that he was going to pop them. I think it was a little red head flirting  she was giggling it was so funny.

This is that mischievous glint I was telling you about. This is the look right before he gets to dive into the cake, making everyone laugh around him. He really plays to the crowd lol.

I love this look, can you tell that that cupcake was just absolutely amazing!!! Like I said he really played to the crowd making funny faces and just having a blast. I think all the kids enjoyed the cake & cupcakes they where hovering like hawks and always about an inch from one of them putting their fingers in the cake or falling right into it. I always think that is so funny how kids can get so excited about a little thing like cake and then almost manage to wait patiently. I mean why don’t they wait like that when you tell them you cleaning and your going to give them a cookie in a minute. Is it just that your not dangling a scrumptious cookie on a string in front of their face lol. Kids are so funny they just crack me up. They had already divvied who gets what side of the cake, so amusing.

Dad asking “was that good?” which it obviously really was. Then something happened that so rarely happens at kids birthday parties!!! He used a napkin, all by himself with out being asked and of course all the mommies are looking at him like aren’t you the most well behaved child on the planet. But mommies don’t get to over the moon he has red hair so you know those teenage years are coming lol. However, I just love daddies and little boys together and this was just so sweet

Birthday boy really has some manners, I told you it was impressive. This was one of the cute little girls at the party and while we where getting pictures of the two of them I asked him to give her a hug. What amazes me is the hug while getting no frosting on this little girls dress or face lol. Most little boys can’t wait to smear a girl with frosting but you have to give it to him he is a perfect gentlemen.

I  came upon this little one and laughed out loud and her poor mommy was just looking at her. I love those moments as a mom where you look at your child and your like really?, seriously, that’s what where doing right now? Then you say well sigh ok, have at it. I told her mom well at least that’s what diaper wipes are for and its not like its permanent marker, right? I just love the frosting facial and then deciding to rub it all over her arm, but you have to admit she still looks so cute even covered in frosting

This is just one of the family pictures, I also did the whole family, grandparents included, but it’s just not done yet and I wanted to get this one out to you. Look at this family aren’t they just adorable. The two brothers are super cute, I could not believe how much the little one hammed it up for the camera. What a good baby right? If all babies where this easy to photography my job would be sooo easy. But I love this family picture everyone looks great! It was a great party and I”m glad I was able to get the whole family together at the end it just ended everything on a great note and of course everyone had a blast. Kids left with goodie bags and hats and worn out and hopefully slept for their parents, I know my little one did all the way home after this party. Well Happy Birthday Jefferson! Congrats on the BIG 3 🙂
