Simple First Birthday Baby Portraits | Baby Portraits in Woburn, MA

Celebrate your baby’s first birthday with timeless, simple baby portraits that focus on your little one’s sweet personality.

At Alice Lin Photography, I offer a Signature First Birthday Collection that includes a variety of setups and outfits to ensure you receive a diverse and beautiful gallery. While many families love the colorful themed cake smashes and family portraits, I also offer simple first birthday baby portraits—classic and elegant photos that truly highlight your baby.

Why Choose Simple Baby Portraits?

Simple baby portraits are all about putting the spotlight on your birthday baby. These timeless images focus on natural expressions, clean backdrops, and minimal props. They’re perfect for families who prefer a more refined look or want to preserve this milestone in a classic style.

To make the session more engaging for your baby, I include a few simple toy props that they can hold or play with. This encourages natural interaction and helps capture those heart-melting smiles.

Wardrobe and Styling for Simple Portraits

My studio includes a curated wardrobe of outfits designed specifically for 12–18-month-old babies. These outfits are carefully selected to complement the simple setups and bring out your baby’s charm. You’re also more than welcome to bring your own outfits—especially something sentimental like a favorite piece of clothing from when your baby turned one.

As a mom myself, I know how special these outfits can be. I’ve saved some for my own baby’s grandparent photos and I encourage you to do the same!

I also provide personalized guidance on what to bring and help you choose the perfect backdrop color to match your chosen outfit.

Include Cultural Touches

Simple portraits are a great way to incorporate meaningful cultural elements. I have had the honor of photographing many beautiful traditional outfits from different cultures. As a Chinese photographer, I also offer traditional Chinese outfits for birthday babies. These portraits are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful for families wanting to celebrate heritage.
