A birthday is always a cause for celebration, and even more so when it's your child's first! My friends at InfiniteArt (infiniteart.in) were asked to cover Indira's first birthday party. The family wanted both, traditional, posed photos and some candid event coverage.

I was brought in to assist their team with the candid coverage of this happy event. Here are the results!
