As a Nikon Mom Ambassador, I’m documenting five key moments over the period of a year through my Nikon D3300 DSLR. One of those events includes my son’s 4th birthday. \u00a0Here are some of the highlights of his special day along with some mommy photography tips.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n _______________________________________________________________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n Guess who had a great time at my son’s birthday party? Me! This mommy did. \u00a0You know why? It was because I had nothing to do with it. \u00a0Yes, a hands-free kids birthday party held for 24 kids and 20 adults at Kidville Toronto and I had nothing to do with it and I loved it! Of course, my son and his friends had an amazing day as well.<\/p>\n This was my son’s first birthday party where the guests were his friends from his class, so it was extra special for him. \u00a0Seeing his friends outside of the school setting is always exciting, especially when you’re four years old and it’s a party! \u00a0Since my son is Upon our arrival, we were ushered into the “Giggle” room which was set up with various activity tables. \u00a0The place looked great but what stood out for me, (versus my son)\u00a0was the amount of detail.\u00a0\u00a0The play-doh table included a warm greeting for my son which spelled out Happy Birthday Kyle in play-doh. Another table was set up with magnetic building toys, another had washable sports tattoos, and the last table was set up with a take-home arts & crafts activity that involved decorating a sports themed sippy cup with paint and sports stickers. \u00a0The floor was also set up with large soft building blocks which was a big hit with the younger kids. \u00a0Truly, there was something for everyone. Since the kids were mostly “calm” in this room, it was easy to capture the moments with my Nikon camera. There was also a lot of light in this room so I had no problem taking my time using the aperture exposure setting and was able to control the light transmitted through the lens (using a higher f-stop \/ medium apertures).<\/p>\nslightly<\/del> obsessed with all things sports, we selected the Ultimate All-Star gym party theme.<\/p>\n
