A picture says a thousand words, but you can make it say even more. A simple chalkboard can be the perfect addition to your kid’s yearly shoots. Take a large chalkboard and list things about your child at that age. It will help you remember them at this age even better.
Ideas of things to list:
- Favorite color
- Favorite toys
- Favorite foods
- Favorite sayings
- Favorite activities
- Favorite TV shows
- Things they are really good at
Be sure to list your child’s age, just for future reference. It is probably best to prepare your chalkboard in advance. The less time a child spends waiting during a photo shoot the better behaved they will be.
If you’ve got time, why not let them finish the shoot with a master piece? I let my daughter color for about five minutes and then snapped a few more photos. She loves the pictures with the chalk all over her face.
SO cute! Now I just need a chalk board 🙂
