When clients are looking for professional photographers to record their baby’s first birthday photography (first birthday photography), Cake Smash photography is undoubtedly a great choice. This form of Cake Smash photography provides a platform for our children to play, explore and try new things, while also giving us the opportunity to capture their priceless moments and reactions. So when is the best time to do Cake Smash first birthday photography? Generally speaking, the recommended best time to shoot is when the baby is 8 to 10 months old. This is not without reason, let’s take a deeper look.
First, we can observe that babies in this period are just between the stages of learning to crawl and standing. Their ability to explore and move is richer than that of newborns, but they are not moving around like babies who are just learning to walk. They are curious about new things and will focus more on the cake in front of them, making it easier for us to capture their various reactions to the cake and their pure joy of understanding and getting close to new things. In addition, babies at this stage can also adapt to new environments better, such as photo studios, and show enough patience and curiosity for new faces and environments. Their smiles, naughty eyes and free play will all become a warm and moving part of your photos.
Of course, every baby develops at a different pace, so to ensure a smooth photography experience, it’s best to discuss with your photographer and be prepared to accommodate a variety of possibilities. Our professional photography team is committed to working with you to capture the brightest and most dazzling stars in the galaxy for your baby.
Between 8 and 10 months old, your baby goes through some impressive changes in their growth and development. Here are some of the main ones:
- Improved motor coordination: Babies at this stage begin to learn to use their fingers to grab things, their grip becomes stronger, they can grab toys independently and even try to feed themselves.
