Last year, Derek turned one and I was lucky enough to join his MANY friends and family to capture the event. It was like a wonderland for the kids with a bouncy castle, music and dancing, games and of course, cake. It was so much fun for me to capture all the happy little faces.

We started out with a few portraits of the birthday boy.

As I arrived, Derek’s parents and grandparents were still busily setting up since there were torrential downpours the night before, into the morning. Everything got done though and the Airport theme was adorable. I loved that Derek Airlines cupcake cake!

I don’t think there are too many kids that don’t love bouncy castles.

The entertainment was the big hit of the day though. The kids and parents gravitated towards the music and games, even with everything else there was to do.

My personal favorite from when I was a kid, parachute games!

I’m so glad I could be there for such a happy day for little Derek. :-)
