Who it benefits
Idaho Food Bank
Idaho Families
Chunky Baby is meant to be a fun contest celebrating adorable babies and their beautiful rolls. But we know that not every family can provide the food necessary to feed their children. While it may seem like a problem for third world countries, it is effecting families everyday in our Idaho backyard. Out of immense gratitude for our own "chunky babies" we wish to give back to our community by helping others in need and working to provide food for all Idaho children.
Are you excited !?!???

Our Chunky Baby milestone sessions are quick 20 minute intervals with immediate ordering appointments directly afterward so unfortunately we won't have time to take photos of the entire crew. However, f you'd like to involve the whole family let us know and we can upgrade your chunky baby to a full family session and still grab the images needed to enter the contest at the same time.
can you take photos of the whole family at the same time?
Chunky Baby sessions will be shown on our website as well as on our social media accounts for voting purposes, therefore a signed model release allowing us to show your images is required. However, we are more than happy to do a private milestone session for you separately from Chunky Baby. Visit our Milestone Session page to learn more.
can i keep my baby's images private?
Digital files are purchased separately from the $90 participation fee. We know how important having a digital copy is so we offer a variety of digital file purchasing options. Read more about our pricing and products here.
are the digital files included?
Voting will begin on March 6, 2023 via our online voting platform. All chunky baby participants will be added to our email list so you'll get all of the details and links for when the votes will take place. Voting is open to the public and we encourage you to send links to family and friends to vote for your baby!
when does the voting start? and where?
Just the baby! We invite you to show up with nothing but your adorable chunk. We will provide everything else- even baby friendly snacks since we know modeling is extra hard work.
what do i need to bring?
Yes. We don't discriminate! If you baby is adorable and you want to help us support the Idaho Food Bank, you're more than welcome to apply for a spot.
my baby isn't really chunky... can they still enter?
