1 Year Old Girl, Party + Cake Smash | South Florida Baby Photographer

You might remember these beautiful blue eyes from a year ago when I took at-home newborn photos of Avery and her family.  Somehow an entire year has passed and the family celebrated her 1st birthday perfectly at Plantation Woods park in Plantation, Fl.  I loved the first birthday chalkboard with Avery stats and likes... and the month-by-month Instagram photos which served as the perfect decoration.  Surrounded by their closest family and friends, this was Celebrate Avery Day!

photobooth - christmas eve eve | Fort Lauderdale Event Photographer

What happens when a photographer throws a Christmas party?!  Hours of PHOTOBOOTH fun!  I kept it simple - my "booth" was made up of a Nikon D90 on a tripod, a SB800 flash on a light stand with a shoot-through umbrella, a Botero collapsible grey background and my MacBookPro for viewing purposes.  Add a wireless trigger for the flash, a remote control, a cord to tether the camera to the computer and a box of props from the party store... and voila!  Its probably safe to assume that not many people actually read my list of photobooth rules posted in the entryway but I guess it wasn't too difficult to figure out:  Stand in front of camera, press the remote to take a photo, view the photo on the screen... and repeat.  The next day, I suddenly had 523 images to go through and a group of people who can't wait until the next photobooth event!  As suspected, the pictures only started out fairly innocent and wholesome.  Here are just a few that passed the public viewing test...
