We’re proposing a new idea (if you’re hiring a photographer, or having a friend take photos of your little one’s birthday party). A couple of hours before the party starts go out and take some family photos, because you know that by the time that party’s over, you’re going to be exhausted, your little is going to be ready for a bath, and a week later you would have wished you did. That’s what Heather Hawkins did with this cute little fam right before Ryder’s party.
