Experts suggest scheduling newborn photos within 5-14 days<\/a> after their birth. This is an ideal time to take newborn baby pictures because your baby is still easily put to sleep and putting them in specific poses will be much easier. However, there’s no wrong time to take photos of your baby.<\/p>\n As a parent, you might want baby pictures for every stage of your little one’s life. Taking these photos might be easier said than done, though. You can’t always control your baby’s mood, facial expressions, or poses.<\/p>\n With the right guidance, you can get some of the best newborn pictures possible! In the guide below, you’ll find several helpful tips and tricks to keep in mind when scheduling professional photography sessions for your newborn. Continue reading to learn more!<\/p>\n \nWhen scheduling a photo session for yourself, you don’t have to put much thought into it. You pick a day and time and make sure your schedule is clear for that day. The same isn’t true for your newborn.<\/p>\n If you want the best outcome, then you need to consider their schedule. Don’t set up a photo session during their regular feeding time, for example. Try to get a feel for your newborn and their feeding and napping schedule before deciding on when to schedule the photo session.<\/p>\n Don’t forget to bring feeding supplies and plenty of diapers with you as well, just in case.\n<\/p>\n \nIt could be a better idea to use natural lights when taking pictures of your baby rather than using a flash. Flash from the camera could cause the baby to make an irritated face or cry. Find a nice sunny spot near a window or outdoors and place a blanket down.<\/p>\n Put your baby on the blanket and start snapping photos. Natural lighting is better during certain times of the day, so be sure to choose a time that works well with your baby’s schedule and natural light.\n<\/p>\n \nIf you want to make your baby smile, then it’s time to get silly. Being silly can help get those big smiles you want to see. Bring your baby’s favorite toys and other helpful props to make them smile and laugh.<\/p>\n You can even consider playing a few silly songs on your cellphone and dancing along to them. Play peek-a-boo with a blanket and have fun. If you’re smiling, being silly, and having fun, then your baby is more likely to do the same.<\/p>\n In the end, you’re more likely to get some awesome happy pictures.\n<\/p>\n \nIt’s important to get in lots of photos of your baby’s smiling face, but don’t forget all those small important details as well. Think about the things you wouldn’t normally focus on. Maybe it’s your baby’s cute little toenails or their one small curl on the back of their head.<\/p>\n Get a few close-up photos of all those little details so you have them to remember. When still pregnant, you might get a 3D or 4D ultrasound<\/a> done. What were some of the features the ultrasound focused on?<\/p>\n Now that your baby’s here, you can take photos of those same features and compare.\n<\/p>\n \nYou don’t want there to be too much going on in the background of your newborn’s pictures. Remember, your baby’s still a tiny little thing and you don’t want anything to take away from them in the photo. For this reason, we recommend using a simple backdrop.<\/p>\n This could be a white sheet laid down on the grass or a fluffy white comforter placed on the ground inside your home. If there are some things in the background that you can’t eliminate, then take close-ups of your little one to ensure everything else is cropped out of the photo.\n<\/p>\nConsider Their Schedule<\/h2>\n
