One-Year-Old & Kids Birthday Photography
Birthdays are a natural time to photograph how much your child and your family have changed.
Whether they’re turning one, two, five or ten, a birthday photoshoot can include portraits of your child, photographs with parents and siblings, and an updated family portrait while everyone is together.
For a first birthday, you can keep the photographs simple and classic, add a birthday celebration setup, or include Cake Smash photography as part of the session.
Browse some of the different ways we’ve photographed children’s birthdays and family milestones below.

Classic One Year Old Portraits
A birthday photoshoot doesn’t need an elaborate theme. Simple portraits keep the attention on your child’s expressions, personality and all the little details that define them at this stage.
We let children warm up and interact naturally rather than expecting a one-year-old to hold a particular pose or expression.
Birthday Celebration Photography
If you’d like the photographs to feel more celebratory, selected birthday backdrops and decorations can be incorporated into the session.
This gives you the birthday look without necessarily having to include a Cake Smash.

Very good experience… baby is very engaged and entertained by photographer, Syafiq … pictures though simple studio setting but came out beautifully and beyond expectations ….
Cake Smash Photography
For families who want something more playful, Cake Smash can be added as the final part of the birthday session.
We photograph the classic child and family portraits first, before bringing out the cake when everyone is ready to get messy.
Every child reacts differently. Some dive straight in, while others cautiously explore the cake or would rather play with the decorations.
Your Child’s Birthday Is A Family Milestone Too
Children change quickly during the first few years — but so does the family around them.
A birthday photoshoot can include photographs of your child individually as well as with Mum, Dad and siblings, giving you both the birthday milestone and an updated family portrait from the same session.
Grandparents can join too, making your child’s birthday an opportunity to preserve photographs across generations while everyone is together.

Not Sure Which Birthday Photoshoot Style To Choose?
Classic keeps the photographs simple and focused on your child and family.
Celebration adds a birthday backdrop and decorations without needing a Cake Smash.
Cake Smash adds a playful, messier finale to the session.
You don’t necessarily have to choose only one. Depending on your session, different looks can be photographed together.
This is my 3rd time engaging photography services from Bambini and my return visits are proof that they provide really good quality shots and service! My daughter is someone who is slow to warm up to but my assigned photographer, Syafiq managed to make her smile and laugh in the end. Love the photos alot and will definitely consider Bambini again for future family shoots!
Our experience with the photographer Syafiq was amazingly awesome!! He was great with the kids and managed to get great shots of them even though my baby was fussy from his lack of nap. The color theme was very well planned out. I loved every shot of the entire session that I opted to keep all soft copies! Highly recommended for any family with young children!
