Its my first time doing a little birthday photoshoot at home so here are some of my tips and also what I learnt in the process, don’t make the same mistakes 🫠
Preparation
Start early 😩 this will save you lots of money!! If I decided to do the photoshoot earlier I probably would have had time to source more props from Taobao/ asked around to borrow from others but it was a last min decision so I had to buy from local sellers on shopee.
What I bought/had for props:
1. Backdrop stand
2. Backdrop white cloth (2m x 3m)
3. Smaller white cloth for cake stand
4. Various candles
5. Fresh flowers
I did not want to spend money on buying standing lights so I used whatever lamp I had at home (which explains my inconsistent lighting) but I feel that it’s ok to make do, which is also why I think it’s important to mentally prep yourself that not everything will go smoothly and it’s more important to have fun!!
The shoot will also take long, this took me about 5 hours from set up and prep to packing up and I didn’t even take that many photos — I wasn’t prepared enough, I had some inspo pics but they were not exactly how I wanted my photos so I spent a lot of time rearranging the set up and thinking of how to make things look better.
Be patient with the photographer — mine was my sister and I had to actively remind myself (and her) that it’s a birthday shoot and the last thing I want was to be annoyed or upset, so we went into it being extra patient and this really helped set the mood 🫶🏻
Plan the flow of your shoot, make sure things make logical sense, like lighting the candle towards the end etc ((“: it’s also important to know what look/aesthetic you want before planning the props, if not you’ll end up having mismatched vibes 🤧
💐 Fresh flowers 🌸
These were super pretty, I got tulips and baby’s breath from Far East Flora at clementi however, I got them 2 days before the shoot and my tulip petals were already falling apart. I knew tulips died quickly but I was not prepared for this… I would still have picked tulips because its my favourite flower but will definitely try to buy them 1 day before instead!
We were resourceful though we used the petals as decor!! HAHAH
🎂 Cake 🍰
For me, getting a pretty cake was more important than the taste so I chose a bento cake. I also ended up paying quite a high price for it because I didn’t order it earlier from a cheaper bakery but it’s ok, this tasted quite decent and the design came out cute 🥰
Overall I think a birthday shoot should definitely be something you #AddToWishlist and do it at least once!! It’s a nice way to spend the day and also capture your special day 🥳
