1st Birthday Photoshoot Ideas | Outdoor Photography


MAKE MEMORIES THAT WILL NEVER FADE


Every parent wants their little bundle of joy’s first birthday to be special and quite memorable. I have two beautiful girls myself and I honestly understand that. It's such a special day. Infants of this age are so cute and adorable. You want to capture their little faces being so high-spirited and so excited on their very 1st birthday ever.


A couple of years later, you will look back and thank yourself that you got to capture all those wonderful moments, and better yet, that you were part of them. 

KIDS ARE GROWING FAST. LET'S CAPTURE THEIR CUTEST YEARS WELL

BE PRESENT IN YOUR CHILD FIRST BIRTHDAY PHOTOS


Remember to be on these photos with your sweet child. Many people focus only on the one-year-old child but not the parents. In fact, it is a celebration for the whole family. In a few years, your child will be looking at these photos and will want to see himself in the embrace of loving parents.

Beautiful Moments with Mom


Nothing comes closer to those magical moments with mummy. You can enjoy each other's company and I will capture the natural moments that you share with your child. There is nothing more wonderful than the closeness of a mother and her one-year-old baby

fun time with Dad


Daddies are not always happy to participate in a photo session dads are not always willing to participate in a photo session (I get it as I don't like posing for photos myself) but there is nothing better than having fun with the kids. I promise no posing .. you will not even notice that I have already taken some wonderful photos of you. These are those wonderful moments that you want to remember forever.

DETAILS ARE IMPORTANT


Those little feet that are just starting to walk, the little hands that hold you so tightly. You want to remember those little details that change so quickly.

Balloon Time


There is no party without balloons. First year celebration is definitely unique. Helium-inflated balloons are very cute and more importantly, they can perfectly entertain a one-year-old child who does not think to sit still.

4 TIPS FOR TAKING A GREAT FIRST BIRTHDAY PORTRAITS


  1. Make sure everyone is well-rested and well-fed before you arrive at the photoshoot location – fatigue and hunger will cause restlessness and impatience that will set the tone for the photoshoot.
  2. When choosing outfits, aim for complementing colours and prints instead of completely matching clothing.
  3. No ‘say cheese’ tradition – remember, not everyone has to be looking and smiling directly at the camera at the same time for a successful photo.
  4. It’s okay to have fun with your family. The more fun you are having, the less staged and forced your photos will look and the more your personality and bond will shine through.
