Set a repeatable photo routine with Arches blocks
Monthly photos work best when the setup stays familiar and only the details change. Radio Flyer Milestone Blocks - Arches give you a classic, timeless look that pairs easily with other milestone blocks or photo props, so you can build a consistent series without starting from scratch each month.
Choose one spot with good natural light, keep the blocks at your baby's side or just in front of them, and take a few frames before nap time. The goal is a simple record of growth, not a perfect studio session.

How to use the Arches blocks month by month
Keep the process short and repeatable. These steps assume you are photographing a baby who can lie, sit, or play near the blocks with your supervision.
- Pick one consistent background: Use a plain blanket or a clear floor space so the Arches design stands out and the monthly series looks cohesive.
- Place the blocks within reach but out of the kicking zone: Set the blocks beside or just in front of your baby, then adjust after the first frame so they stay visible in the shot.
- Add one seasonal or personal prop: The catalog notes the blocks pair well with other milestone blocks or photo props. Rotate a small toy, a sonogram print, or a favorite book to mark the month without changing the whole scene.
- Shoot a few angles and pick the clearest: Take one straight-on frame and one slightly above. Choose the one where the Arches design and your baby's face are both easy to see.
- Store the blocks together after each session: Keep them in one labeled bag or bin so the set stays complete and ready for next month's photo.
Photo ideas that use the Arches look
These setups rely on the classic Arches design and the catalog's note that the blocks pair well with other props. Adjust the prop choices to what you already own.
- Side-by-side growth line: Lay your baby next to the blocks and shoot from above. Repeat the same frame each month so the change in length is obvious.
- Sit-and-play scene: Once your baby can sit, place the blocks within arm's reach and let them explore. The photo captures a natural moment and the Arches design stays in view.
- Prop pairing of the month: Pair the blocks with one small item that matches the season or a family tradition. The catalog confirms the blocks work with other photo props, so this is an easy way to personalize the series.
- Gift-ready flat lay: For a baby shower or new-parent gift, arrange the blocks with a onesie or a small keepsake and photograph the set before wrapping. The catalog describes the blocks as a great gift for baby showers, birthdays, or new parents.
