I am super excited to be bringing these sessions back this summer!

I thought it might be a perfect idea to do a First Foods blog post of a past session to show other Moms and Dads exactly how adorable these sessions are.

WHY “FIRST FOODS”?

If you're like me, you want to document every stage of your child's life. One way to do that is through professional photography sessions. Recently, I did a First Foods session with a six-month-old baby girl. This type of session is special because it captures the baby as they are starting to explore solid foods for the first time. This is a huge milestone for them!

The expressions on their faces are priceless, and Mom and Dad get a beautiful 5x10 composite of their little one trying out baby food!

First Foods sessions are perfect for sitting babies, approximately 6-9 months old.

Before the Food

Just like in a cake smash session, the photoshoot starts with the baby sitting on their own.

We snap a few photos before the food is introduced and then we bring in the food.

Time for the real fun to begin!

During the Session

Once the session gets going, we let them try the baby food and capture their expressions along the way. The food is presented in a little jar with a wooden spoon.

These sessions are so much fun, and I always love seeing the babies interact with their food!

Sometimes they make a mess, but that's all part of the fun.

Time for a Milk Bath

Once we’re all finished trying the food and snapping those photos, we usually finish with a milk bath.

This is where I put them in a tub of warm water with milk and let them splash around.

It's so much fun and makes for some great photos! The parents always love this part of the session.

It’s a win-win because we get some great shots while also cleaning them up from the mess!

First Foods Milestone

The session is 20min and includes the edited digital images + a custom 5x10 printed composite with 5 images of your little one adventuring with their food and feeding themselves. See below :)

If you're thinking about professional photography for your child, I highly recommend it! It's a great way to document their growth and changes.

If you're interested in capturing your baby's first foods experience, I highly recommend professional photography. These sessions are so special and the memories will last a lifetime! Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the photos :)
