Reminder: There is a solar eclipse today in Maryland. The height of it will be at 3:20 PM. DON’T LOOK AT IT WITHOUT SOLAR GLASSES.
Here are some photos for a birthday photo session. I got a basket, a ribbon mesh, and a large balloon for this and put the rest together. The rest is just letting the soon to be 3-year-old explore the prop and capturing her reactions. Right up until she got grumpy because we wouldn’t let her take a nap in it.
Notice I said soon to be 3-year-old. She isn’t 3 yet and you don’t have to do the birthday photo session on their birthday. In fact, if you want them before it, you might want to do the session before their birthday to get them sooner. Afterall, it takes time to process them and get them just right. But if you work with your photographer, you might be able to come up with something extra for social media and stuff. So, a week or two in advance might be useful. You could even use them for a birthday announcement.
For the props themselves, I got the mesh and balloon from etsy. The hardest part was getting helium but then I discovered Party City will fill your balloons for you for a price if you don’t buy them from their store.
Feel free to contact me if you want to do a birthday photo session.
