During the first 12 months of your little one’s life, your baby will have many first milestones. First foods, first time they coo, first smile, and of course first holidays. All, which in my opinion, should be captured by camera (or iPhone). However, during the holidays I always go a step up and getting that baby in front of the camera is a must.
With Easter just around the corner, there are many who have booked their Easter portraits or who are gearing up for a spring photo session. That said, it is always fun to have a little inspiration to keep in mind when you’re heading out to visit your photographer or when you do it yourself. Look for props or things around your home to capture the perfect memory. With a few quick tips, you’ll have the perfect Easter portrait in no time!
Happy Easter!!

Pick a prop in a spring-inspired color. There is nothing cuter than a baby in a bucket! Especially when it's my baby. This was taken when Sadie was just shy of 6 months old.

Isn't this just adorable? This is such an easy way to capture the moment. Just place a blanket inside a basket you already have at home and snap a picture outside.

Just don't think you can capture the moment on your own? I highly recommend having a professional capture important first year milestones. These are moments you will never get back and it is nice to have the memories framed inside your home where you can cherish them everyday.

How cute! Place baby inside a basket but fill it with flowers too! I just love the crocheted bonnet and dress -- it doesn't take away from the photo and is perfect for Easter. I love the wooded area as the background too!
