A {Carnival} Party

Our sweet little guy turned

ONE!

I love me a good themed party {lately}. After eyeing some adorable themed parties all over pinterest, I wanted to give it a try on my own. 

So here we go, this is what I came up with on my {GRAND} $20-$30 budget.  

Some may say over the top for my

{1 year old}

But come on, I'm a stay at home Mom/ Photographer. I want a good picture and I have lots of time to dedicate to my little guys. I made all the printable's and decor after the boys were in bed(in under 2 hrs). And spent less than $25.00

..So why not?

I got my adorable pictures that I will treasure for a lifetime.

And don't worry, I probably won't do this for EVERY birthday, just the important ones ;)

Check out pictures from the {SMASH CAKE} session here, on my photo blog.
