First Birthday Photos
You may remember my client, Kaitlin. I photographed her bridal shower, baby shower and multiple family photo shoots for her and her family. She always plans the most gorgeous events and it was fun to do something a little different and more private for her son, Chase’s first birthday photo shoot.

First Birthday Photoshoot
When you are planning a first birthday photoshoot, it’s always good to have a few props! I like things to be pretty natural and not too over the top. But this big round balloon with the word one on it was perfect! Kaitlin decided to set up a few different scenes for the shoot. First, the grassy, park like setting of her backyard. Next, we moved to a more studio like set up that we created on her back patio. I brought a seamless white backdrop and Kaitlin brought in stylist, Angi, of Angi & Co and balloon wizard Elissa, of Indie Bee Balloons to create a little magic and decorate the blank white canvas.

Small Wooden Stool
Kaitlin also brought along this small wooden stool. I think it was supposed to be the stand for the cake, but I always loving using the cake stand as a prop for the baby, since one year old’s can’t really stand or walk very well yet. It allows them to lean on it and makes for the best shot.

First Birthday Picture Ideas for a Boy
Planning a chic photoshoot for a boy can be tricky! Here are my tips- keep it simple. Less is more. Choose a color scheme. I love white blue and greenery for a boy. Don’t be afraid to add greens or use flowers (sparingly) for a boy. A little nature is always nice to incorporate.
