While most of my outfits are for one year olds, they can easily be clipped to be smaller. I do also have outfits 6 months sized as well. Just message me!

If you're already coming to my studio, might as well jump in front of the camera for a couple family photos too! We can take family photos, sibling photos, or some simple photos of your child before we move on to their birthday photos with a white background for no extra cost.
Family photos

I have over 200 backdrops for you to choose from for the adorable festive birthday photos. Small things like ONE signs can definitely be switched out. Just reach out if you want a theme that's not already on there and I'll see if I can help.

The Half Birthday Investment Details
"This was my daughter's first photoshoot experience for her half birthday and MaryKate made everything look so easy even when my baby was not being cooperative. She pulled out every trick to make her smile and we got all of the photos we needed. Very glad I found her. She is an expert at what she does"

Questions
1. Can we include a cake?
Yes, IF your child is already eating solid foods they can have a couple bites. DO NOT expect them to really smash it - that'll happen at their first birthday. We can also just have the cake there for decoration. I can provide the cake for $25 extra, you choose the simple design from the list of options on this blog post HERE. I can provide a fake cake, which you can view on that blog post as well. Or you can bring it, if you bring the cake I recommend a 6 inch size and to avoid red frosting.
2. Can a parent or sibling jump in for some photos?
Yes! That's why I offer photos on a solid white background for no extra fee, this is where people normally do the family and sibling photos. However if you wanted to do them on the themed setup, that's perfectly fine too, You'll just have to sit on the ground since the backdrops are small since they're sized for toddlers.
3. What's the turnaround time for the photos?
I will send you a watermarked gallery within 24 hours from your shoot, you'll choose the photos you'd like from there. You'll receive the finished edited photos 7 days after you've chosen them. If you need them earlier just check in with me before booking.
4. What if my child isn't sitting up yet?
That's fine! I have boxes and seats for them and we can take plenty of them on their stomach and back.
