Monthly Baby Photos
I have seen other friends do monthly photos of their babe sitting in a chair, next to a chalk board and many other random things. However it is documented doesn't matter, all that matters is that EVERY month is documented. From month to month so much change and growth happens. Check out these adorable monthly photo ideas on Pinterest.
I decided to keep it simple because I wanted to make sure I wouldn't keep putting it off due to having a crazy set up. So I just put her in our cozy chairs, pushed it into a good lighted area (well I have to open all the curtains to get that) and snapped a few (ok more like 20-50 photos, she is just so dang cute with so many different expressions I just keep clicking). Looking back at them now I kinda wish I would have done a little bit fancier set up, but I was working with what I had available when I decided to do these monthly photos.
On one photo I add the age along the bottom and this helps me to easily keep track of her age. They also have stickers that you can put on baby's shirts that show the month.
I also have 5 more months that aren't pictured. I haven't decided when I will stop taking monthly photos, but I'm for sure going to go till age 2. Maybe after that I might do her photos in 3 month intervals, we will see what I decide. Either way she will and is a very photographed little girl.
Whether you take monthly photos by yourself or hire a professional to do a monthly photo, the year really needs to be documented.
