need to click countless photographs to ensure
that you capture the right moment. For instance,
try to catch the kid's cheeks puffed out as
he/she blows the candles on the cake. Click
around 10 pictures to make a document of one
special moment like the cake being taken to the
table, some kid rubbing fingers in the icing,
kids eagerly waiting to blow out the candles, and
finally the cutting of the cake. This makes a
pleasant image documentation of the party,
however it also serves to capture the right
moment.

exploring.

• If possible, as with any image, contemplate your
  background and confirm it does not distract from
  your main subject. Generally at a celebration
  event it's not possible to get rid of muddle from
  your foregrounds and backgrounds. Just
  concentrate more on catching smiles of the kids
  and guests.
• Many kids don't have much idea when to smile even
  when asked for. To get natural smiles, you don't
  have to say, "Say cheese!" In fact tell the
  children to mention something silly funny that
  may build them laugh like, "Say your dad has
  smelly feet!"

• While capturing photos of a group, make an
  attempt to confirm everybody can be seen. This
  can be tough to try with an oversized cluster of
  kids at a birthday party. Take countless shots to
  make sure that every face may be seen at least
  once. Ask elderly guests to sit on a chair to
  face on top of the children. It will allow you to
  get more and more people in the photograph.
