One month we were on vacation and I just did the photo on the beach in a diaper. I also did weekly photos but I really just used a picture from that week, usually of a skill she learned that week. They are really cute to compare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1/page/2#post-2539572 Tue, 03 May 2016 09:22:34 +0000 ValentineMommy 2539572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made sure to take a pic on their month-iversary (lol). There was no consistency or anything to outfits/props/location. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1/page/2#post-2539570 Tue, 03 May 2016 09:21:44 +0000 looch 2539570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a monthly photo drop out, lol.</p> <p>I tried, I really did, but I just lost steam. I had intended to do two sets, one where my son was on a white background wearing a white onesie (I got to about 6 months on that project).</p> <p>The other was to have photos with my husband and son, together, wearing their coordinated Ralph Lauren polo shirts. I got to 7 months on that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1/page/2#post-2539560 Tue, 03 May 2016 09:09:01 +0000 Littlebit7 2539560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we did the same chair, blanket/quilt as a backdrop and lucy darling stickers. I found good light to be the most important aspect and then when I edited each photo I could just lift and stamp my edits from the previous month so they all have the same color temp/feel. </p> [attach=6581/16/o6ltz1.400x600.IMG_5364.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1/page/2#post-2539558 Tue, 03 May 2016 09:06:12 +0000 Happygal 2539558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I laid her down on a different blanket each month with a sticker and the same animal. Once she started rolling, it was no longer a relaxed event! So I would either be ok with having them switch positions, or start sitting up from the beginning if you want continuity.</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I used the Snuzzler to create a snug fit for my daughter in the Bjorn bouncer for awhile. She seemed to really like being snug like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1/page/2#post-2539540 Tue, 03 May 2016 08:50:43 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2539540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: hmm, Im going to try that. So far I have been using it as an awake activity. Your monthly photos of your little guys are just beautiful! Very fun stuffed animals too :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1/page/2#post-2539530 Tue, 03 May 2016 08:39:03 +0000 yin 2539530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I put him in it right away, and he didn't start to protest until he was older and more mobile. Since LO was mostly sleeping in the early days, I would plop him in close to nap time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1#post-2539529 Tue, 03 May 2016 08:36:49 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2539529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: speaking of Bjorn bouncers, when did your LO like using it? I have put LO in his a few times and he cries bloody murder. The only time he lasted a few minutes in there was when I was showing him some B&amp;W graphic prints. He's 11 days old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1#post-2539523 Tue, 03 May 2016 08:31:57 +0000 yin 2539523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had monthly photos done in LO's room on his rug with a stuffed animal for scale. LO1 ended up joining in on the photos, and I loved how it turned out to be a sibling photo shoot. I also did weekly photos on the couch and Bjorn bouncer with rotating stuffed animals. </p> [attach=138/16/o6ls99.600x397.21839704836_42e2680cdd_o.jpg] [attach=138/16/o6ls9b.600x600.15540408982_21f5b0eaf7_o.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1#post-2539490 Tue, 03 May 2016 08:05:45 +0000 snowjewelz 2539490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! I tried to take them on the glider with the same set up, but as she got older it got more difficult so I kinda gave up on it. So while I don't have a uniform set of pictures where you can really see her grow, all the pictures pretty accurately depict the stage she's at! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1#post-2539485 Tue, 03 May 2016 07:52:30 +0000 Adira 2539485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did them lying down on a blanket. I didn't have anything to show scale. </p> [attach=340/16/o6lqfi.404x600.0-12_months.jpg] [attach=340/16/o6lqfj.402x600.0-12_months.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1#post-2539465 Tue, 03 May 2016 07:29:33 +0000 Reese 2539465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that would be an amazing idea!! You can change the color of the backdrop (bed sheet, table cloth, blanket) to "match"'the superhero. That would be so cute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1#post-2539443 Tue, 03 May 2016 07:13:57 +0000 ShootingStar 2539443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We propped him up in an anywhere chair and put a stuffed elephant next to him for scale. We used belly stickers for the month, but next time we'll use these blocks - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0194M6Z6C/ref=aw_br_ov_dp__5?colid=T9NGCB1INTE0&#038;coliid=I3SHAYAT8N1MZU&#038;vs=1&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0194M6Z6C/ref=aw_br_ov_dp__5?colid=T9NGCB1INTE0&#038;coliid=I3SHAYAT8N1MZU&#038;vs=1&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1</a> </p> [attach=2504/16/o6lon9.600x337.image.jpeg] [attach=2504/16/o6lona.600x519.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1#post-2539440 Tue, 03 May 2016 07:05:42 +0000 Alba4 2539440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sleepybear: We also started on our glider, but once DS hit 8 months, he was so active, that I gave up on the consistency factor! The final 4 months I just used my favorite monthly picture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1#post-2539436 Tue, 03 May 2016 06:50:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2539436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG these are the cutest kids! Too many to reply to individually.</p> <p>@Reese: his shirt is inspiration for me to do a superhero every month. DH would love that!</p> <p>@kiddosc: totally sold on the laundry basket! LO has a bright blue swaddle blanket that I can use for the background.</p> <p>Is it weird to have a bunch of set ups? Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1#post-2539434 Tue, 03 May 2016 06:38:53 +0000 sleepybear 2539434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to get monthly pictures in our recliner, draped with a blanket with DS's name knitted in every month. They got harder to take as he got older because he didn't stay still and switched to putting the blanket on the floor, but almost all of them still go well together. And we lived in 3 different houses in his first year. </p> <p>Those laundry basket pictures are so cute, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1#post-2539431 Tue, 03 May 2016 06:17:46 +0000 erinbaderin 2539431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend made us monthly onesies, and we took pictures in the same chair every month for scale. </p> [attach=6329/16/o6lm1n.400x600.image.jpeg] [attach=6329/16/o6lm1o.450x600.image.jpeg] [attach=6329/16/o6lm1p.450x600.image.jpeg] [attach=6329/16/o6lm1r.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-photos-1#post-2539426 Tue, 03 May 2016 06:03:43 +0000 ms.line 2539426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing month stickers on a white onesie with LO laying down on a dream blanket, next to a stuffed kitty that she'll eventually hold.

We took a monthly picture in the La-Z-Boy in his room with the same knit rabbit gifted by a friend. He always wore a white onesie with a month sticker on it.
