I had the absolute pleasure of photographing little Mika’s 1st Birthday party.  Lucille is her grandmother and organised the whole party at her house.  This was my second visit to the family as I have also taken Kirsten’s matric farewell photos with a studio set-up at their house. They had loads of activities lined up for kids of all ages and sizes.  There was of course an old classic face painting, so we had fairies and boys with ben 10 watche walking around everywhere And what would a themed kiddies party be without a merry-go-round?  The kids truly enjoyed this ride and the caretaker adjusted the speed of the merry-go-round according to the children’s ages.  So no worries of anyone getting hurt!Then there was the jumping castle with a motorized surfboard in the middle of it for the older kids, this looked like so much fun I was thinking about giving it a try!Lucille really pulled out all the stops for her little granddaughter   As you can see they even got a little motorized train which took the kids for rides up and down the street.Doesn’t this little guy just have the cutest face, everytime he came around he waved at his mother and everytime she would wave back.  The wise people say that only once you understand an occurence like this will you be ble to understand the meaning of life.Little Mika’s birthday decorations was done by a company called Crazy Chameleon and the party was themed 101 Dalmations.  The little table was set with little dalmations money boxes and everyone got kitted out with a dalmation dog maks   And last but not least here is a pic of little Mika.  She is a very happy little girl and looks exactly like her cousin Kirsten   She had a fun filled day and I captured some great memories!
