Photo Shoot Options for a First Birthday
Parents are delighted to see their baby go from newborn to 1 year old, so it's no wonder they pull out all the stops when planning celebratory parties with friends and family. In addition to hosting a party for your little one, set up a photo shoot with a professional photographer who can capture the true essence of your 1 year old with themed shots. Does this Spark an idea?

Rubber Ducky
-
If there's one thing 1-year-old's know how to do well, it's get messy, which gives parents the tasks of getting rid of the mess and getting them kissable clean. A bath-themed photo shoot can help you capture your toddler playing with his rubber ducky, splashing in his baby bath and surrounded by bubbles.
Little Baker
-
Armed with a chef's hat, wooden cooking utensils, mixing bowls and a kid-sized apron, featuring the words "I'm One!", set up a photo shoot that shows your baby baking up one of his favorite treats. Your 1-year-old will enjoy playfully making music using the props, adjusting his hat and smiling at the camera for this first birthday photo shoot option.

A Piece of Cake
-
Many parents help their babies celebrate turning 1 year old by purchasing a "smash" cake they can dig their fingers--and faces--into. You can select one to match your baby's birthday party theme, or a simple one with chocolate or vanilla icing. Include a large number one on the baby's cake.
Give the baby the "smash" cake, and then have your photographer start snapping, capturing every moment of the baby tearing into her sweet treat.
In Their Shoes
-
Take a pair of you and your spouses' favorite shoes, and let your baby play around with them, while you snap shots for his first birthday photo shoot. These fun shots incorporate the parents, without having their faces featured in the shots. Thoroughly clean the bottoms of the shoes, and be careful with pointy shoes or high heels. You can try shots with the baby standing inside one of each shoe or wearing a shoe on his head.
Fur Baby Love
-
When a child grows up with a pet dog in the household, the two often become inseparable. Celebrate their bond by photographing them together for the baby's first birthday photo shoot. Capture shots of them laying on each other, the baby feeding the dog a treat or the baby giving the dog a big hug. You can even arrange a picture that gives the appearance of the baby walking the dog or crawling while holding the leash.
