100 Days Baby Photography Session – Baek-il 백일

100 Days Baby Photography Session – 3 Months Old

This little cutie was lovely to have in the studio! Mom and Dad brought her in for her 100 Days baby photography session, and then took some family portraits with her as well! We were so happy to have this amazing family come in and work with us. Her outfits were so adorable, and the opportunity to have her with us in the studio was wonderful.

100th Day Celebration – Baek-il 백일

The Baek-il is an important milestone in Korean culture, celebrating the baby’s first 100 days of life. In the old days, if your baby lived through his/her first 100 days, it was worth celebrating! Health and living conditions were a lot more challenging back then!

For twin cake smashes, I create one cohesive set that works beautifully for both. We start with family and sibling photos, then photograph the twins together before it is time for cake. Outfit changes are a great way to add variety without switching sets. This way, parents get a gallery that feels polished and cohesive while still showing each child’s personality.
🌈 The Rainbow Luncheon is one of our favorite NCL events to photograph — a celebration of every hour, every project, every moment these senior girls gave back to their community from 7th–12th grade.

It’s more than a luncheon, it’s a legacy.
At two years old, most kids have endless energy, and that’s completely normal. The key is to work with it, not against it. For this Sesame Street birthday session, we kept the backdrop fun and colorful, encouraged play, and let her personality shine. The result? A gallery that feels authentic, joyful, and true to this stage of life.

Pro Tip for Parents:
Choose a theme your child loves. Their excitement helps keep them engaged and gives you photos that capture their personality at this exact age.
Every newborn session is special, but this one was extra sweet. After three boys, this family welcomed their baby girl!

If you’re booking a newborn session with older siblings, here are a few things to know:
	1.	Sibling shots are always included. We’ll capture big brothers or sisters meeting their new role.
	2.	I balance family, sibling, and solo newborn portraits so you get a full story of this season.
	3.	Don’t worry about energy or chaos. After photographing families for over 20+ years, I’ve seen it all. The goal is connection, not perfection.

Your gallery will reflect your family just as you are … now with a brand new little one to love.”

💗 Save this if you’re planning newborn photos with siblings.
💎 “How do I choose the perfect outfit for a cake smash?”

One of the best ways to elevate your baby’s session is to coordinate their outfit with the set. For this Tiffany & Co. theme, mom went classic…a black dress, pearl necklace, and even tiny sunglasses! It made the whole setup feel polished and timeless while still playful.

Think of colors, accessories, or even a favorite brand that inspires you. The outfit doesn’t just photograph beautifully, it tells the story of this stage in your child’s life.
