Elias’ 1st Birthday Celebration with a Dr Seuss Theme Party | Singapore Birthday Party and Children Photography

by | posted in: Children | 0

It was a great pleasure covering Elias’ 1st birthday party. Being the first baby of a close friend of mine, this was extra special. And to top it off, Elias was just too cute for words. And he really knows how to make hearts flutter with that sheepish, kiddy smile of his!

The theme this time was Dr Seuss, and the party room was decorated with the theme banner, balloon bouquet, Dr Seuss cupcakes and cake pops.

I am not too sure where you can find Dr Seuss themed party accessories anywhere in Singapore, but those you see here were sourced from online websites!

As for the birthday cake, I was totally blown away. It looks GREAT, period.

Done to perfection by Fantasy Cookies, it looks so good that I wouldn’t have the heart to cut and eat the cake if it were mine! The “pen” marks around the cake and on the hat makes it look so much like a 2D drawing come to life.

Babies tend to go off into blank stares like this from time to time. I find it to be good photo opportunities it’s as though you get a momentary glimpse into their souls and personalities.

Animal Safari Theme Birthday Party Dessert Table and Cake | Singapore Birthday Party and Children Photography

Here’s another cute and fun jungle theme party! If you haven’t noticed, safari and animal themes seem to be all the rage recently!

It’s not easy to come up with different elements that complement well with one another, and I must say that it’s working great here!

Jungle theme dessert table and cake
Overall look of jungle theme dessert table and decor with accompanying stickers and balloons.

The cute tree stickers on the wall go with the real twigs and leaves on the table. Even the table sheet was very well thought out!

I can’t help but feel drawn to the woody and slightly rustic feel of the overall look (as always). Such textures and elements ALWAYS turn out well in photos.

The dessert table is practically overflowing with sumptuous-looking pastries!

Heard of “hedgehog” cream puffs and “moss” cupcakes? If you haven’t, continue scrolling down.

And check out the “tree stump” swiss rolls too.

In case you’re wondering, the dessert table and cake were done by the talented eatliaomeimei!

And I was surprised to see casuarina cones, which transported me back to my primary school days where the school field was always littered with them!

Now who wants to go pick some forest berries? Excluding bumping into grizzly bears of course (which I really did in one of my travels but that’s another story altogether!)

Animal Themed Party for Cayla’s 1st Birthday Celebration | Singapore Birthday Party and Children Photographer

by | posted in: Children | 0

We had the privilege to photograph Missuschewy‘s (also known as Charlene) very cute 2nd daughter, Cayla’s 1st birthday party celebration at SAF Changi Seaview Resort recently. Since Cayla was born in the year of the monkey, Charlene decided to hold the party with a cute monkey theme. Jungle-themed parties are rather popular among the local kids and this time was no different! Everything looked so cheerful and joyful thanks to the vibrant colours of the decor and props.

Thanks to the resort overlooking the sea, the location was relaxing and breezy. And most importantly it had minimal crowd!Β All in all, we consider this venue to be a cozy and private setting for celebrating baby showers, children’s parties or even just for a short family getaway.

Needless to say, we totally enjoyed ourselves photographing Cayla, her candid moments and genuine expressions. We believe that children often display their authentic personality and character when left on their own to explore the world around them, and Cayla fits this description perfectly! Every moment is a truly precious moment in a child’s growing up years because they grow too fast!

Amazingly cute macarons by our friends at Bake Avenue! I have never thought macarons could be shaped to this extent.

This is the first time I have seen food catering with such a vibrant look. I’m sure any child would love to bring a soft toy (or two) home after the party πŸ˜€

I love how Cayla smiles. So cheerful and natural.
Taking her baby steps. It’s unbelievable how fast children grow. In no time she’ll be running all over the place.
I thought I saw a pussy cat!

There are chocolate eclairs, cupcakes, macarons, candy jars, butter cookies and more. And not to miss out the matching bunny theme mouth-watering birthday cake! To say that I love the colour coordination is an understatement. Everything at this candy station complements perfectly with one another, from the elegant shades of red and pink of the balloons, down to the details of the personalised labels and toppers.

There’s nothing more meaningful than looking back at such photos and reminiscing the good memories. Check out the photos below of this awesome rabbit theme set up!
