💃 2. Don’t Forget the Outfit Vibe Check
Your outfit speaks before you do! Choose colors that pop, textures that play with light, and accessories that shine just right.
✨ Pro Tip: Coordinate your outfit with the backdrop or props. A yellow flowy dress with sunflowers or a pastel lehenga with soft curtains — chef’s kiss! 😍
🌈 3. Choose Props That Add Personality
Props aren’t just fillers — they’re personality enhancers!
🎂 Hold that custom cake with pride
🎈 Float with helium balloons
💄 Pose with a vintage mirror
👑 Rock that crown like a queen
Your Insta feed deserves more than just another ‘cake-cutting’ photo. Add drama. Add story. Add you.

Indoor, outdoor, rooftop, garden, cafe, or your own bedroom — the shoot location should match your vibe. Want something exotic? The Still Story Studio can recreate setups from scratch — from flower walls to vintage props.
💫 6. Candid or Curated? Mix It Up!
No one likes stiff poses. The secret sauce to Insta-worthy birthday pictures? A mix of posed portraits and laugh-out-loud candids.
