This is a blog post about our experience having our baby’s half-birthday photos taken at “studio Loulou,” a photo studio in Miyoshi, Koto-ku. We’ll report in detail on everything from the “before and after” shots using the same composition as the maternity photos taken before the baby was born, to the professional techniques used to get our shy baby to smile, the flow of the day, costume changes, and delivery of the photos. We’ll also include suggestions for two-shots with mom and dad and stylish compositions, making this a must-read for anyone who wants to beautifully capture their baby’s growth.
