/A picture is a great way to visually tell your story.  You want to capture special moments of your loved ones.  All the prepping and planning you’ve done for the party, the reaction of the birthday child when they see the decoration, the dancing, food, laughter and family.  Those are great memories you want to preserve for years to come.  Here are some great tips for capturing your memories.
/
/

/
/1 Get your camera ready – make sure your camera has fully charged batteries and a back up pair.  You don’t want to miss out on some funny, wonderful moments during the party.  Plus you spent a lot of time and effort prepping for the party so why not capture all your hard work!
/
/
/
/2 Ask someone you trust to be your photographer.  I’m sure there are some great shots you’d like to take but sometimes you need to just be in the moment.  If your too busy taking pictures you won’t be able to enjoy the party or the birthday child.  Besides you can’t be everywhere at once!
/
/
/
/3 Take many pictures!  You can always sort through the blurry or bad photos during your down time, after the party.
/
/
/
/4 If budget allows, hire a professional.  I don’t know how many times I wish I had a professional photographer at our parties.  It’s nice to have someone else there capturing your memories while you enjoy yourself!
