Glitter, Confetti, and Pure Chaos (The Fun Kind)

There’s just something about glitter sessions that kids absolutely lose their minds over. Add confetti, sparkles, fancy dresses, and permission to make a mess? Instant favorite child moment. 🤪 These sessions are playful, high-energy, and perfect for kids with big personalities. Most girls go full glitter-princess mode with twirly dresses and sparkle everywhere, but honestly? A simple white tee and jeans would also look ridiculously cute.

And before anyone asks, yes, boys love glitter too. Confetti battles, tossing glitter, celebrating birthdays… it’s all fair game around here. ✨

Why These Sessions Work Best for Ages 4+

For glitter sessions, it’s important that kids can follow directions well enough to stay safe and not immediately dump an entire bucket of glitter directly into their eyeballs. 😂 That’s why my recommended minimum age is around 4 years old.

If you’re currently in the “my toddler becomes feral during photos” stage of parenting, you are definitely not alone. You may also love reading How To Get Your Toddler (and Big Kids) To Actually Participate In Photos.

Perfect for Birthdays (Without the Full Cake Smash Production)

These sessions make an especially fun birthday idea for older kids. They’re quick, exciting, and feel special without needing a giant themed setup.

Not Just for Babies

While I’m primarily an Austin based newborn and baby photographer, I definitely don’t stop there. I photograph kids of all ages, and sessions like these are such a fun reminder that personality-packed photos don’t end after the newborn stage.
