Choosing the best Time

Choose a time when your baby is fully rested and full awake. Most kids are seen weeping or in a bad mood in their birthday photos because they are either tired or sleepy. Great photos are taken in great moods. So before anything, keep in mind your baby’s nap time. If he sleeps early at around 9 pm, then don’t plan the birthday at night. And if he is a day sleeper, then he would be wide awake at night time, and that’s when you should hold the party so that you kid looks happy in his first birthday photoshoot.

A perfect venue

Choosing a place for your kid’s first birthday is also important considering how do you want the pictures to turn out. Would you go for the natural settings, or you’d rather prefer a more contemporary or urban style? For a natural mood, nothing can beat the late afternoon light at the garden, a hill or anywhere outdoor. But for a more contemporary and urban setting, studio lighting can also give a very modern touch to the pictures. So if you are planning the party indoors, keep in mind the sort of lighting that is available, because that’s how good your pictures are going to turn out.

Choosing a theme

Where choosing a theme for your baby’s birthday party gives the impression that you have put a lot of thought into planning the birthday, it also gives a very cute touch to the birthday pictures. A themed birthday party includes accessories, birthday gifts, smash cake, and other party decorations based on a single theme. It gives a sense of wholeness to the event and also looks great in the pictures.

Some kids birthday party theme ideas include; A cowboy themed birthday, Winter wonderland theme, Pretty in pink theme, Red balloon theme etc etc.

Smash Cake

Keeping a smash cake is also a great idea for fun. A smash cake is a cake that is made just to be smashed, by the kid. Nowadays smash cakes are all the rage for the first birthday parties. A kid enjoys it, and while photographing the whole thing, the expressions of excitement and joy on the kid’s face are priceless.
