Setting the Stage

When planning a baby photoshoot, there are numerous ideas and possibilities to choose from. Some prefer to start by choosing a creative theme or backdrop which ultimately decides the props or materials you would use.

While others keep it simple with a special outfit or soft blanket. Whatever you choose, just make sure it is fun and memorable for you and your baby.

Helpful Tips for A Baby Photoshoot

Here are some tips to get you prepared:

• Use good lighting. When taking photos, try to use the best lighting in your home, whether it is by a window or from an appliance or device. Look for the part of the house that receives the best natural daylight and observe how it changes throughout the day so that you can plan to make the best of it.
  Natural light is the most ideal for a photo shoot at home and the best time of the day is in the early mornings in a room with lots of windows and doors. You may also consider taking photos outdoors in the garden in warmer weather.
  However, be sure to avoid strong and direct sunlight in the afternoons. Ensure the lighting is not too bright, which will make the photos look overexposed, or too dark which will make them appear underexposed. You can easily adjust natural light with white curtains or bedsheets as a reflector to manage the light effectively
• Make sure your baby is comfortable, safe, and warm by propping them up with pillows and blankets
• Never leave your baby unattended during the photo shoot to avoid accidents
• Make it a family affair by asking older siblings to help out in positioning the baby. They may also enjoy lending a hand with any creative props, fancy props, and ideas you plan to use. You may choose to include other family members in some of the beautiful shots and memorable shots of your baby
• Keep something consistent in your photos, especially if you plan to take new photos every month. This will allow you to create a sort of series and at the same time track your baby’s growth and development
• Choose natural, neutral colors for the plain background, like white or cream. This will allow your baby to stand out and be the main focus of the photos.
• Make good use of props to add creativity and a different dimension to enhance the photos

Photoshoot Ideas

Some ideas for capturing your baby girl’s first month:

• Holiday/ seasonal theme
