birthday photo

Annual occasion picture

A birthday photo is a photograph taken to commemorate someone's birthday, either a candid shot from a party or a formal portrait marking the occasion.

Parents often take annual birthday photos to document a child's growth: We do birthday photos every year with the same stuffed bear for scale.

The term also covers the ubiquitous cake-and-candles snapshot.
