Hey Guys! So I know I usually stick with my opinions on various topics, but I recently posted a DIY Photo Session that I did for my son on Facebook. So many mom's loved it and I received a few questions on what I used and how I set everything up. So I decided to do a blog post for anyone else that might be interested in having their own photo shoot at home.- Plain White Blanket (I steamed it with my steamer to get some of the wrinkles out, but you can use a sheet and an iron instead)
- Old Curtains (Thanks Mom!)
- Christmas Balls (Dollar Tree)
- Red & Gold Tinsel (Dollar Tree)
- Mickey Mouse Wrapping Paper (Dollar Tree)
- My Own Christmas Tree (Walmart)
- Empty Shoe Boxes (I wrapped them with old wrapping paper to look like presents)
- Balloons (Dollar Tree)
- A Christmas Dog (We got this as a gift when my fiance purchased my engagement ring)
- Christmas Lights (Target)
- iPad (to take the pictures)
Now you don't have to use an iPad, any camera is just fine. It's just that my digital camera is broken and I have to wait until Christmas to use my new one. You can check out a few of the images that didn't make the cut below to get an idea of how I did everything. As you can see, we had wardrobe changes and everything!

This would probably work well for a newborn too. And it'll be easier since a newborn baby doesn't move nearly as much as my two year old. Also for pregnant women, couples, families, etc. You can customize it any way you like. Go ahead and try this out. We did to save some money. We got some great pictures to send out to our family that has been asking us for some updated pictures for a while now. It's fun for you and fun for the kids too. Just be prepared for the clean up! Until next time.......
