How to get GREAT Kids Birthday Party Photos
I have very few decent pictures of my kids’ birthday parties. I’m camera challenged and never planned it out right to get enough photos so that at least some of them would be good for memories. It’s too late for me. BUT NOT FOR YOU!
A professional photographer from down under has written a wonderful blog post full of tips for taking great birthday party pictures. The idea I like the most is designating a photographer- someone with no real party duties other than to shoot a ton of pictures. That way- you’re bound to get a good number of wonderful photos. There are lots of other great tips about where to shoot from, angles and other technical tips, but none overly technical. If you want good party photos, take a read.
And while you’ve got the camera, and hopefully the designated photographer, put it all to use toward your party favor. Kids love pictures of themselves, especially candid shots, and they make a great take home. Far better than the usual ‘goody bag’. When the shots are taken, enlist another parent or older sibling to print out the best one of each child at the party on glossy photo paper, slip them in to your pre-made paper frames, and they’ll be ready by the end of the party.
You’ll find a downloadable paper frame in the Birthday Favors section on the Birthday Party Games Lady website.
And if these party photography tips give you enough good pictures, make a memory book from them to commemorate the celebration.
