BEFORE YOUR SESSION
Please let me know if you have any particular preference or theme for your little one's session. I have lots of clothing options available for studio and outdoor sessions!
WHAT TO EXPECT
Make sure your baby has napped and eaten before the shoot.
It is perfectly okay to bring bribes to the photoshoot. Some crackers, snacks, or other candy that won’t stain their teeth can help a short photo shoot go by smoothly. Please don’t let them eat or drink anything that will stain their face, teeth or mouths.
Be patient. If your baby or child is fussy or alert, don’t stress out. Your baby can sense your anxiety and we want to keep the environment as mellow as possible. We will try to get them comfortable again, but if that doesn’t seem possible, we will take a break or we may reschedule (at the photographer’s discretion).
Be prepared for messes of all kinds. Babies do not care where, when and who they pee, poo, spit up or vomit on. That is why I will be dressed in comfy clothes as I work and why you (if you want to be in the photos with your baby) would want to bring an extra set of clothes.
As the session can take up to 2 hours, I can provide water, soda and light snacks. There are also lots of local shops nearby for food and activities.
CAKE SMASH
Turning one is a major milestone, not only for your baby but for you as a parent too. You have made it through the first year of babyhood! This calls for a celebration with cake and balloon!
Due to (potential) allergies and potential liability, Moonrise Photography will not provide the cake for your session. For customized smash cakes, please contact your baker well in advance to ensure your cake order is reserved or let me know in advance so I may provide recommendations ahead of time. Choose a cake that is easily smashable and has vanilla or light-colored cake inside. Beware of bright and colorful icings that might stain teeth, clothing or the tub when you rinse your baby off. Note that cakes with red icing when smashed will look like a bloody massacre and chocolate will look like poo…unless that’s what you want to go for!
It’s a good idea to make sure you test out a small cupcake or cake before your session.
1) You want to make sure your baby doesn’t have any allergies you are not aware of (i.e. eggs)
2) You want to make sure your baby has had a prior experience with cake smashing so that it is not overwhelming for them at the session and they know what to do!z
