I need ideas...besides using a cake what are some other ideas you have seen used for pictures for a childs ..?

first birthday portraits!?!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Here is one of the best ideas I have ever heard, but it takes some dedication.

Dress a little boy in his dad's suit. Take a picture (or a bunch!) Next year, when he is two, do it again. Then again the following year. Do it every year until he is an adult himself. I read of a photographer Dad who did this with his son and had this wonderful record of growth in a personal, measurable way.

I guess you could do it with a little girl in Mom's dress, but men's suits are almost alike from year to year and dresses change in length and style.
