Thank you cards would be the perfect solution!</p> <p>@swurlygurl: I think I would regret "cheating" more than not having them at the party... plus the hubs just bought me a dSLR for my 30th, so I hope to get some good images by then. I better know how to use it by July! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-do-one-year-photos#post-720002 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:52:05 +0000 swurlygurl 720002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said 11 months, but that's because I think showing the pics at the bday party would be most important.</p> <p>Which would you regret more later - not having them at the party, or having them done 1 month before she was one?</p> <p>Could you compromise and have them a week or two before turning 1, and have the party a week or two late? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-do-one-year-photos#post-719941 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:38:24 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 719941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Babies grow and change so much I wouldn't "cheat." You can always decorate with candids at the party and send out a thank you card from with the pro pics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-do-one-year-photos#post-719899 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:23:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 719899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I said in that case, 11 months. </p> <p>However we opted to just do the shoot at his party so everyone could watch his cake smash :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-do-one-year-photos#post-719879 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:17:53 +0000 HabesBabe 719879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So C's 1st birthday is coming up and I bought a Groupon for a photo session with a children's photographer. I'm thinking a couple cute outfits, maybe a cake smash, and maybe with my wedding dress. BUT! I don't know when to do the pics.</p> <p>The photog said she would have images back to us in about 2 weeks, so if I wanted to have some cute cake smash photos displayed at her party, I would have to take them around 11 months (which somehow seems like "cheating" to me?). If I got them done around her birthday, they wouldn't really see the light of day (just us and close family).</p> <p>When did you take/plan on taking 1st birthday photos? Does it really matter? </p>
