Here are some of my favorite First Birthday ideas and what to do with the images.
1. Find something they like to get into:
Meet Nash. He’s a little over ONE and LOVES toilet paper! Well, he doesn’t wipe with it yet, just plays with it. So, we planned this photo concept with the END result in mind {no pun intended} hanging it in the bathroom above the toilet.
Here’s little Hope! She happens to LOVE her Minnie Mouse, which was a perfect prop for this 1 year session.

2. Get Crafty:
Gone are the days where you sing Happy Birthday and make the cake yourself. In 2015, moms and especially my crafty clients are going ALL OUT for 1st birthday themed ideas! A big trend right now is the hot air balloon. Please don’t ask me how they made these, but I’m sure Whitney Neace and Misty Breeding can teach us. Let me get back to you on that. Misty says she will post to pinterest.
3. Think outside the box:
Is it difficult to load up the baby grand piano? YES! But, not the little one. There is a mozart in all of us, right? Bring it to the studio. Big props are adorable for some fun pictures. And, it keeps the little ones distracted so I can capture expressions like this one. Thanks Adysen.
