I think that the best pictures are pictures that capture time and life, with poses and props they are nothing but faces that people put on. I sugguest that you give all the adults there a camera, digital or not and have all of them take pictures that aren't poses. Once they are developed you will have more than just smiling faces on film, but you will have emotion and life's wonderful gift of love. Good luck and remember that pictures are what makes our life remember the little miracles in life.

I used to do portrait photography (especially kids). My favorites were when parents would bring in a smash cake (a small one layer, usually round, cake with white frosting) that the child would smash around and play with. Your baby would wear only a diaper. It's super cute. Just make sure you ask your photographer if that's ok. and make sure it's the LAST pictures you take and bring a white sheet so the cake doesn't get all over the studio floor. (JC Penny's portrait studio is where I worked and at Cub Foods in MN would give you a free smash cake for your child otherwise I think the cake was only 1-3 dollars)

Whatever they suggest at the studio! They do this every day. What counts is a good expression and you have to go with whatever will bring that about.
They don't have a closet full of props to choose from, so just take one or two favorite toys, which your son will be familiar with. Maybe they will keep him from crying and ruining the session.

For the perfect smile and responce i had a photographer place a toy train on there own head, got the childs attention in th right direction and made him smile. As for props i think a small framed photo of mum n dad in his hands facing the camera would be different way of showing a family portrait.

This is what I did.....
My small city has a AAA baseball team. I bought an adult team jersey, a small baseball cap, and a baby bottle in the shape of a baseball bat. I just place him on seamless background paper. He just looked adorable.
I then made a photo of him in the jersey on his birthday for the next 17 years. You can just watch him grow into the jersey.....it is really pretty special.
I know of another photographer that did this with his daughter and a one piece bathing suit over 18 years.

Lots of places are doing halloween-ey stuff, like dressing the kid as a pumpkin or fall-type props in the background. Be sure to bring his favorite toy/blanket/ binky. If he's got something comfortable to sit with, he'll be more likely to smile!

Don't get it too cuetsy, it'll look like you don't think your kid is handsome, ot think he's a posing doll.
Just make sure he looks good and smiles a bit, it'll look much better in 20 years time when he looks it out.
Unless you hate him and want to embarass the crap out of him, then give him a perm and a barbie doll

At my studio, I like to take a conventional one year picture, then strip the child to a diaper and let him/her dive into a small cake brought by the parents. Different babies create different amounts of mess, and this is just one more aspect of the personality. I try to avoid party hats, as babies find them uncomfortable and get distracted or even upset by them
