Kids’ birthdays are a great time to make memories – and capturing the
moment on camera is the only way to seize the emotion and preserve it for the
years to come. Still, terrific pictures take some planning and preparation, so
if you want your DIY photography masterpieces to look fit for a magazine cover,
you will have to do your share of experimenting and scene setting. Lack the
know-how? Despair not – we can help you out with several useful tips on how to create fantastic birthday photos and seize emotional moments to spite the
passage of time.
Backdrop that makes all the difference
Pictures taken in your kitchen or living room are okay, but if you
want to add a special note to the birthday photo, you may want to consider a
different setting. Have your little one pose in the garden, under a tree or
next to a brick wall or wooden fence on the big day: such pictures allow you to
add a caption during the editing and include details about your child’s age,
height and weight, or drop a note about their favourite foods, colours, games
and movie characters at the time. Now, that is a cool birthday picture that
will take you back in time every time you look at it!

A birthday getup to express – and
impress, too
Any professional photographer can tell you: though the clothes do not
make the man, they certainly make a major difference in festive pictures. Dress
up your little model in their finest Sunday clothes or, if they are older, have
them pick out the clothes for the photo shoot that best reflect their
personality at the time. (A friendly word of advice: make sure you snap the
photo before the child manages to get cake all over their getup: stains may not
be a bother to you, but the kid may feel embarrassed over the living testimony
of their childhood clumsiness once they grow up.)
Smash cakes are tasty – and look great on
film, too
One of the latest birthday photography trends gaining popularity
across the globe fast, smash
cake images allow you to
catch your playful kid on camera red-handed (or at least all smeared with
candy). If you are not a lover of conventional birthday pics, letting your
child go loose on the cake and making a photographic record thereon will
certainly prove an interesting experiment. Do note, however, that smash cake
pictures involve a decent cleanup – but that is a small price to pay for the
memory of some mean birthday cake trashing, is it not?

Pictures of gift givers and receivers
look adorable
Opening of the birthday presents is another memorable moment you can
capture with your camera. Ask your kid and their guests to pose with gifts for
you and continue to shoot the birthday girl’s or boy’s surprise as they go on
to unwrap the gifts. The images displaying the joy on your kid’s face as they
say Hello to the toy they always
wanted to have will make an invaluable reminder of their unblemished emotion
caught on film.
Get inspiration from others
If none of the suggestion listed above seem inspirational enough, you
can always check out birthday images taken by other parents. From cool
decorations and birthday venue ideas to lovely tutus and hairdos, moms and dads
love to claim the bragging rights about pitch-perfect execution of their little
ones’ special day – and an image posted by a parent on the other side of the
world can help you get some ideas on both how to organize the birthday and the best camera modes and angles for
the shooting.
Faced with a dire birthday photo shoot emergency? Take a deep breath,
grab your camera and start clicking: after all, the best birthday pictures are a fun experience for the both your model(s) and you as their
loving parent and cameraman.
