The post In studio 1st birthday session appeared first on Kimi Photography.

Are you excited to celebrate your baby’s 1st birthday? They grow so fast in the first year, they start to stand up and walk around when they come back for their 1st birthday! What a fun time! One year old babies are super cute, but as parents know, they still need some help to coordinate the session, since they need to have naps, snack frequently, and are attached to parents very much.
In studio 1st birthday session would be very helpful to coordinate your baby’s birthday celebration!

Why in-studio 1st birthday session?

Please don’t take it wrong! I love having outside sessions for family portraits and other portraits sessions. However, I have some reasons why I suggest having an in-studio 1st birthday session.

Baby's active time vs. Best photo time

From our experience, babies are usually active and happy 30 mins after their naps. We schedule 1st birthday session considering this timing. That is the time that we can capture more smiles and the interaction with their parents.  Most babies take naps in the morning and early afternoon. On the other hand, the best photo time for photographers in general is right before the sunset. Most one year olds would not last until sunset. We can take you to shady spots, but it would limit the choice of places.

Weather confliction

I write this, because I have been dealing with Portland weather for 13 years now (I’ve lived here for 13 years so far). Summer is great and we can guess the weather most of the time. I can even predict it will be pretty much sunny all day from Mid July to Mid August 2022! Hehe 🙂 Winter time is out of question (Rain, Rain and Rain….), but even in Spring and Fall, we need to be pretty flexible to schedule our sessions. 15 mins of rain makes the ground wet. Most one year old babies want and try to move around and wet ground doesn’t help for a session.

I wish we have more sunny days in Portland. Like I mentioned above, I love outside sessions as much as in studio sessions!  However, depending on the kid’s age and needs, in studio sessions can be very helpful to plan a fun photo session. The least thing we would like is when parents have to hustle or scramble for the photo session.

If it is in studio, 1st birthday session can be planned well enough! Let’s celebrate your baby’s first birthday with joy and happiness.

Even if you don’t know anything about settings, no worries. I can and I will love doing it for you 😀

While I was writing this, I found a fun article about cake smash sessions.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]https://www.photoshopactions.com/blogs/blog/cake-smash-photography-everything-you-wanted-to-know[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4167″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]I think a cake smash session is as exciting as a posed newborn session. It would be even more fun too! 1 year olds will smile more and that even makes parents smile more. We always plan a session right after the nap time of your baby, so usually it works out with them in a good mood.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4164″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”4166″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”4165″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]This page is full of girl’s 1st birthday cake smash sessions, so here is another link for boy’s portrait session!

I ask parents, please do not pressure your baby to sit still or smile during the session! Babies love their mom and dad the most. They don’t want to be away from their parents, so I will ask parents to play and be with their baby until they at least get more comfortable at our studio.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4169″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”4168″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”4170″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
