Try a floral hat for your 6 month kids photo session.

I love adding the cutest props for childrens photos. One of my favorite new props to use is a flora bonnet or hat.  The have a nice rim of flowers that frame out a child face.   I purchase my flora hats from a local distributor or from Etsy.  

The floral bonnet adds the cutest touch to your 6 month olds photo session. The floral bonnets I have been using are up cycled.  They are made from the arms of old shirts and sweaters.  The flowers are then sewn or glued onto the hats.

First Birthday Shoot.

We did a quick shoot in the studio in Parkersburg, WV for some last minute first birthday photos. Hadley was looking as cute as she can be.  Her mom decided on a super cute mini mouse theme.  I had just purchased this awesome vinyl backdrop off the internet. It was the perfect match for our mini themed session.  I had a large Styrofoam one we also used.


When children are one year of age it can be super difficult to get a shot.  They are on the move so much it is hard.  I had a little red rocking chair that matched perfect for her birthday photos.  We were able to keep her seated for long enough to get a few photos.   We decided that using the studio in parkersburg, wv would be better for photos than an outdoor location.  At that age it is very hard to keep children still for long enough to do one photo.  To set up your child's first birthday photo session in WV  Contact 740-683-6339

How to get a good children's studio photo.

Anyone who has ever tried to snap a photo of a young child would know that it is extremely hard. Many children between the age of 1 and 4 are just simply all over the place. They will not sit in one spot for more than 5 seconds. This can make taking photos of children very challenging. One trick that I like to use is to switch up the props frequently. Children have a very limited attention span.  So constantly changing props around will help to keep their attention. I also try to have lots of toys on hand this will keep them engaged in looking your way for more than just a few seconds. Suggesting I parents to bring children after they have had a nap,

or at their happiest time of day is also a big help. Keeping patient and trying very hard will always result in a beautiful photo.
