Job reached out to me about photographing his son's first birthday party at the Knights of Columbus event space in Hamden, CT. He invited our boys to come and have fun, but I knew they wouldn't let me work in peace haha. So Roody & I showed up and I was drawn to the Baby Shark themed dessert table, like a moth to a flame. Look how pretty!
