Joint Birthday Party, Event Photography

I have been a bit behind on my blogs due to such a busy schedule. I thought I would give you an insight into one of my latest joint birthday party, event photography sessions. The birthday party was for two three year old girls called Daisy and Maisie, how cool are those names to put on an invitation.. The party was at The Play Station in Gosforth, Tyne and Wear. I walked into the building and thought “Oh no”.. The room itself was big enough with high white walls but it just seemed so dark. I had my work cut out for me to get everything right. Hey, I got to play in the soft play area which was pretty good fun so I guess I can’t complain. I knew I would have to put the ISO up high to get some light into the camera which is fine but the down side to that is it can cause grain. I used my Canon 430EX II flash s best I could because the children aren’t going to hang around to make sure you are happy with the shot. They are there to go nuts and have as much fun as possible. I spent a couple of hours with them all shooting as many of the children as possible in a kind of reportage photography style. The photography sessions were split up into  three sections. Firstly getting the children playing around the soft play area. Secondly, to get them having their food and to definitely to photograph the birthday girls blowing out their three candles. Finally, Peppa Pig was the guest of honour so to not capture that would be a big boo-boo. This was the hardest and yet funniest part of the day as I have never know so many children run away and cry from the thing the must love the most, I guess it must be a bit too much for some. The children who were happy to be with Peppa Pig it was so hard to photograph them with there idol as all the parent were there with their phones recording the moment as I guess all parents would. I got there in the end and everything turned out pretty well. So I must thank Anna and Vicky (Daisy mam and Maisie’s mam) for giving me the opportunity to photograph and experience a “Joint 3rd Birthday Party”. So thank you 🙂
