On Sunday, I was Event Photographer for local self-published success story, Tania McCartney who was launching the second children’s picture book in her Riley series – Riley and the Dancing Lion.

above: Tania had fun activities organised for the kids – Beya again, concentrating on some colouring in.

above: Tania likes to read to the crowd of children (and their parents!) at each event – it is gorgeous to see them all so entralled.  Tania makes the book come alive for them.

Tania has loads more of my photos (and an excellent wrap up of the day’s festivities) on her blog post – I gave her a disc with almost 100 photos on it.  If you were at the Book Launch and would like a copy of your child’s photo – stay tuned.  I’m organising that soon.

You can see more of the photos that I took for Tania’s book launch at my Event Photography page.
