A pre-birthday photoshoot is a wonderful way to celebrate and capture the moments leading up to a child’s birthday. The timing of the photoshoot can vary depending on your preferences and schedule, but here are some ideal times and considerations:
A) Timing Relative to the Birthday:
One to Two Weeks Before: Scheduling the photoshoot one to two weeks before the birthday allows you to have the photos ready in time for birthday celebrations or invitations. This timing also gives you some flexibility in case you need to reschedule due to unforeseen circumstances.
B) Consider Your Child’s Age and Milestones:
Age-Specific: If the photoshoot is for a milestone birthday (e.g., turning one, five, or ten), plan the session around the time your child is reaching that milestone age. This way, the photos can reflect their current stage of development and personality.
C) Optimal Time of Day:
Choose the time when the Children tend to be more alert and in a better mood Scheduling the shoot during these times can help ensure your child is more cooperative and energetic.
D) Weather and Location:
a) Outdoor Sessions:
If you’re planning an outdoor shoot, consider the weather and season. Choose a time when the weather is pleasant and there’s enough natural light. For example, spring or fall often provides favourable conditions for outdoor photography.
b) Indoor Sessions:
For indoor sessions, plan around your child’s daily routine to avoid conflicts with nap times or mealtimes.
