I recommend bringing a ton of wipes, a towel, paper towels, a few grocery bags\/dog bags for the messy things, extra diapers, and a trash bag. Many studios don&#8217;t allow you to leave food behind in the trash so be prepared to leave with the leftover cake. For my fellow photographers: most studios have cleaning supplies but frosting on studio floors is tough to cleanup! I recommend having a cleanup kit in your car with paper towels, a generic cleaning spray, and a handheld vacuum (also so good to have if you ever use confetti!).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68429b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"68429b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UpPs28\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-sm\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Shop The Vac<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-31c4cbc\" data-id=\"31c4cbc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ca7fe6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5ca7fe6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1067\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/carissamoorephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maddox1stbday-67_websize.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1119\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carissamoorephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maddox1stbday-67_websize.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/carissamoorephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maddox1stbday-67_websize-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carissamoorephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maddox1stbday-67_websize-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/carissamoorephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maddox1stbday-67_websize-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carissamoorephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/maddox1stbday-67_websize-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea3f810 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ea3f810\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Backup\/Going Home Outfit<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd399ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dd399ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Leaping off of the cleanup kit, I also highly recommend packing spare photo-ready outfits for the WHOLE family in case of accidents as well as clean clothes for after the shoot since most likely baby (and everyone else) will be covered in cake!
