At age 1, your baby is discovering the world! They are in constant motion, eager to touch, see, (and taste) the things around them. Whether it’s crawling to pick up a favorite toy, raising their arms gleefully upon spotting mama, or shaking their head “no” to assert their preferences, their energy and spontaneity are a joy to capture. In this blog post, we highlight three aesthetic ideas that illustrate the curiosity and endearing charm of your one-year old in a first birthday natural baby photoshoot.
The Cake Smash
What better way to celebrate your baby’s first year of life than with a delightful cake smash photoshoot? Picture your little one’s eyes lighting up with curiosity as they poke and prod the yummy cake, and then diving in with complete abandon.
Some babies dive headfirst into the colorful cake, while others delicately sample the icing. The cake smash captures their budding sense of independence and is always a highlight of the session. We sometimes add balloons and a birthday hat to make it extra special!
Vintage Tin Tub
In the midst of elaborate setups, there’s a beauty in simplicity. Our vintage blue tin tub allows us to focus on your baby’s innocence and their journey of discovery.
Although getting these shots may involve a little encouragement from mom and dad for your little explorer to stay still, the end result is well worth it. These photographs are a testament to the fleeting nature of this stage and the pure innocence that shines through.
Clean, Simple, and Boho Chic
We adore capturing your baby’s quirks, expressions, and the twinkle in their eyes as they encounter the world. Dressing them in cute outfits or adorning them with pearls create timeless and heart-melting photographs. We also include props like lovable toys, vintage chairs, and teddy bears to tell a story about their interests.
Sometimes, it takes a little coaxing and the presence of mom or dad to bring out that cheeky, infectious smile. These shots focus on the developmental milestones of your one-year-old. They’re moving around on their own, standing on their own, and babbling away.
