instax

A small birthday gathering on instant film!

I love instant film.  My sister gifted me the mini instax when E was born, so I've been using that a lot since. I recently purchased more instax wide film my for instax 220 and I've been wondering why I wasn't shooting more of that! It is so nice to have larger photos. 

M's first birthday party was rescheduled due to rain and half the household being under the weather, but we still had a really nice and intimate celebration with the immediate family, his nonnie and his paw paw, my sister, and our favorite aunt emma who brought a delicious cake.  Sadly, I forgot to take a shot of our grilled lobster, boo!

I highly recommend getting an instant camera. They also make a ton of super adorable albums for instant film.  My favorite place is www.mochithings.com (I am not affiliated with them!). There is something so great about having these tangible little photos. E loves to help me wave them around and do the Polaroid dance!

Shake it like a polaroid picture :)
