Q&A:
1. How early should I book my 1st birthday photo shoot?
Answer: It’s best to book your 1st birthday photo shoot a few months in advance, especially if you have a specific photographer or location in mind. This will give you plenty of time to plan and prepare for the big day.
2. What kind of props should I choose for the photo shoot?
Answer: The kind of props you choose will depend on your baby’s interests and the theme of the photo shoot. From balloons and toys to themed backdrops and outfits, choose props that will make your little one shine.
3. How can I keep my baby entertained and cooperative during the photo shoot?
Answer: Keeping your baby entertained during the photo shoot can be a challenge. Bring their favorite toys, snacks, or even a silly puppet to grab their attention. Also, make sure the session is scheduled during their usual naptime to avoid any crankiness.
4. How do I clean up my baby after the cake smash?
Answer: Cleaning up after a cake smash can be messy but fun! Keep wet wipes or a damp washcloth handy to wipe away excess cake before giving your baby a warm bath. Just be prepared for plenty of splashing!
5. What should I wear for the photo shoot as a parent?
Answer: As a parent, it’s best to wear something comfortable and neutral that won’t distract from your little one. Avoid patterns or loud colors that might clash with the overall aesthetic. Ultimately, the focus should be on your baby and their adorable birthday moments!
