Is there anything more precious than a baby?The new baby smell is intoxicating, those tiny fingers and tiny toes. Treasure that first month and make sure to capture as many photos of your little one because you will want to remember this darling stage later when they are toddlers, teenagers and then some day adults.
Whether you hire a photographer for photos or snap some yourself, make sure to get an outfit that is:
- Accessible:
You will want an outfit that is easy to get on and off a newborn baby. - High quality:
Make sure your outfit is high quality. Many parents love to save the newborn photo outfits for memory boxes later. - Variety:
Your newborn photo shoot theme is special to you so make sure the outfit fits into whatever theme you choose.
At Belle Threads we have any outfit you can imagine for a newborn photoshoot. Rompers, Lace, Baby Wraps, even accessories to go with your outfit too. We also have the best outfits for baby’s first cake smash photo session.
Cake Smash Sessions are SO MUCH FUN.
If it is baby’s first sweets you never quite know how they will react. Will they devour the cake and make a huge mess? Will they cry and hate the feel of the cake? Who knows. But either way its going to be a moment you’ll want to freeze in time and remember.
Tips for cake smash success:
- Be ready for a mess. Don’t worry about the mess Mom! This only happens once you can worry about the mess later.
- Ditch the highchair: A good mess is exactly what a smash cake session is about so let the baby roam free, plot a yummy cake in front of them and let them go at it.
- Think about your theme: You’ll want the cake, outfit, props and background to mesh well together so make sure you think of your theme and pick things that compliment each other, even the yummy frosting.
- Take them before the party: You don’t want to rush the shoot or have to worry about hosting friends and family on the day of the cake smash session. Schedule your session on a day before your party and you can decorate with adorable photos of baby’s first cake smash.
At Belle Threads we have every cake smash theme you can think of: Princesses, Holidays, Mermaids, Unicorns and more. Throughout the years your little one will have many holidays. Make sure to document those sweet traditions you share with your family each year. Here are a few tips for sweet holiday memories:
