My twin girls jut turned one and in the stress of planning the best party for them I wanted to make sure that I would capture every moment for them so that once they were old enough to actually appreciate that special day; they would be able to do so.  I am a photography nut. I think everything is worth capturing on film so I was worried about enjoying the party and taking pictures at the same time.  

That’s when I decided to hire Jen from Jenny B photography: http://www.jennybphotography.blogspot.com/ . 

She showed up at the party ½ an hour early as planned and took some family portraits.  She then spent the next few hours documenting everything that went on at the party.  That very night, she had a few sample pictures posted on her website for us to look at!  They had already been edited and Jen even added some special effects to some of the photos!

Included in her package was 40 photos touched up and edited as well as a disk that she was going to send to me with all of the photos on so that you can have them all printed on your own.It is so nice to be able to sit back now and go through all of the pictures and be able to see how all of my hard work paid off. I loved seeing the pictures of the kids having fun and all the moments that I missed as I was busy being social, thanks to Jen! Jen did such a great job. 

I highly recommend her to anyone whose celebrating a special milestone in their life- and let’s be honest, we want to document each moment - we just don’t have the time to do it all!

Thanks to her I was able to enjoy the party knowing everything was being captured for me, or shall I say my little 1 year old girls to cherish.

My daughters 3rd birthday was coming up.  Where do I begin?!Planning her party was a no-brainer.  I heard about Gymalaya  (http://www.gymalaya.com/) a few months ago and knew that it would be the perfect spot.  And it certainly was.Having about 25 children and about 35 adults doesn’t give you too many options that can accommodate that many people.  Gymalaya, offered up more than enough room in the air-conditioned state-of-the-art modern facility.The staff were amazing.  They were helpful from the minute we got there.  Setting up the food, plates, party hats and just ensuring everything that we needed to organize was taken care of was such a treat for Mom and Dad.  It’s nice to feel as though you can take some time to sit back and watch your child and interact with them at their party. The room was set up wonderfully for a birthday party. It lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes, 1 hour of fun instructed activities in the gym where they taught gymnastics through “Fun, Fitness and Fundamentals” , followed by 45 minutes in the largest and cleanest decorated party room that I have seen.Before I knew it, lunch time had arrived and once again the staff made it so easy and enjoyable for me that I was actually able to sit down and enjoy lunch with my daughter.  I didn’t have to lift a finger.  I had brought matches and a knife for the cake, but they were all prepared with the essentials that I didn’t even have to take them out of my diaper bag. One less thing to worry about.All of the kids had a wonderful time, and the parents were equally impressed. Most importantly, my Birthday Girl had a blast and really, that’s all that mattered to us.
