Professional Photos: Studio Babies
Some of my favorite photography, is to no surprise, babies! Taking professional photos in a studio is so much fun. Using a studio gives you so much freedom to decorate and create whatever backdrop you would like. Maybe you would like to keep it simple, and maybe you would like to go all out and make it super fun and over the top. I think both methods are just as great.
Whether you have a specific occasion to celebrate or not, I make these professional photos as fun as can be (for both the parent and the baby of course). Here are some fun studio shots I’ve taken in the past.
Baby Cake Smash Professional Photos
The good ole cake smash photos will never get old! Your baby is free to be themselves, have some fun and we end up with cute photos in the end. The easiest part about this photo idea, is that all we have to do is provide the cake and sit back and watch.
No need to spend a lot of time outfit planning, and using props and poses. Instead the baby gets to do what the baby does best, make a mess! The babies also get so excited and interested in the cake that they forget I am even there.
This is one of the cutest ways to remember your child’s first birthday. A cake is such an icon for birthday celebrations and one of the best memories I have of my children, is giving them their first birthday cake.
As they get older, the cuteness doesn’t stop, but just becomes different. You start to try and teach them how to blow out the candles which results in them spitting all over the cake, another great memory for me.
This girl is just fabulous! Her parents wanted to incorporate the cake idea, however they wanted the backdrop to be an entire party. We used necklaces, hair bands, and all of the party decor to give these photos so much excitement and life.
Let’s just say she had her own little birthday party and I got to photograph it. I love how this turned out, and if you ask me, I think your baby should be celebrated this big!
If you aren’t so into thinking the cake idea, there are other ways to celebrate your child’s birthday with professional photos.
Birthday Professional Photos
Maybe you’re not sold on the cake smash idea. There are so many other cute ways to document a birthday! For example, this young fella turned one and we utilized letters, balloons and other props to enhance the studio photos.
This photoshoot was just as fun, and there wasn’t a mess to clean up in the end. Using props and letters are a great way to tell a story through the photos. Years ago, the photos printed all had the dates and times in the corner, or if you were like me you would write the date on the back of the photo. Using these props to say that you are celebrating his first birthday is a great way to remember he was turning one around the time these were taken.
A cute way to document your own photos at home, is by using a letter board to type out the celebration or the date that the photo was taken.
Sibling Professional Photos
Why just photograph one baby when you have three adorable little girls? This photoshoot was super fun because I got to work with three daughters. We also got to use a flower wall backdrop which was super fun and pretty.
Having photos of not just your newest born, but all of your children at once is so special. I’ve noticed that the babies often feel a lot more comfortable when they get to imitate their older siblings. How cute are these girls?!
We spent time getting individual shots of each of the daughters and then had some fun posing all three of them together. They made my job easy, because siblings are really good at making other siblings laugh.
Final Words
Newborn photos are my speciality, but toddlers are some of the most fun to photograph. They are old enough to sit up on their own, play with what is in front of them, use props to stand, and start to really grow into their personality.
I’m biased, but I can’t get enough pictures of my children. I think one of the best things you can do for them is document their childhood. I know even for me it’s still so fun looking back on old family photos and reminiscing about those times. Your children will be grown in the blink of an eye and what will you have to look back on?
It’s not too late either if you feel like you’ve missed the chance. No matter the age, it’s always a great idea for family photos. My children will be teenagers and yes I will still be making them take pictures.
I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I did and if you were looking to schedule a photographer, check out my information page for package details and prices.
