I’ve got a huge amount of photos on their way, after I covered three birthday events for one special little boy last month. In the meantime, I can share the instant photos I took at those events. Rather than my usual combination of Polaroid cameras and Impossible Project films, I opted for my Fuji Instax 200 and Instax wide film for Shiv’s parties. There was a mundan ceremony Saturday morning, a BBQ Saturday night, and a brunch Sunday morning. It was so fun being there for all of it! Here is a sampling of instant photos from those celebrations.

These photos barely scratch the surface of all the photos I have to share with you from Shiv’s birthday festivities. More to come, very soon!
The soon-to-be married folks arrived and were immediately bombarded by nieces and nephews.
This is how loved the nieces and nephews are: Kat and Thomas brought them goodie bags

So much going on in this photo. But Kat has the most expressive face

I, of course, then took a photo of them with my camera
