This has been such a fun project for me as a DFW baby photographer. I can’t believe my own Baby J is already 11 months!! Where has the time gone?? As much fun as this monthly photo session project has been, I am glad it’s almost over. This little dude won’t sit still for anything. I bribe him with Cheerios and crackers, but he’s off like a shot. It is a two man job to get just a single photo of him, so I’m grateful that there is only his one year milestone session left!
Speaking of, now that we are at the 11 month mark, I need to get serious about planning this dude’s first birthday photo session. I typically work from my residential studio in Roanoke, but I think I will do a mix of studio and outdoor shots for J. His birthday is mid-June, so the outdoor options are a lot more open. My older son has a late December birthday, so I’ve always struggled to find places where the grass isn’t dead, etc. I think that having a boy with a summer birthday basically requires me to do at least some outdoor photos.
My plan is to keep it simple. I know babies hate being changed into a million outfits, and my general rule of thumb is to let their personality shine more than the clothing. I have purchased three outfits so far, and I’m giving myself a round of applause for keeping it in check.
I also still need to order his smash cake! Also, add in the fact that this is the last month of school for my older son before summer break, and I think we have a recipe for me being uber busy in the next few weeks.
If you are interested in checking out cake smash inspiration, my Pinterest has a ton of info and I’m sure I’ll be posting even more in the coming weeks as I look into options for my own goober.
Here is a look back at the past few months:
