Tip Tuesday–Capturing A Newborn Baby

Before my niece was born, I made sure to study Your Baby in Pictures so that I would remember exactly what the “essential” shots were!

In the 0-3 months chapter, Me Ra not only discusses tips for photographing a newborn, but she also identifies some of the “must-have” images.

She suggests capturing images within the first 30 minutes of birth.

Because Madison was brought directly to the nursery, my only option was to take pictures from behind the nursery window. If you run into  this obstacle, don’t let it stop you. Just keep shooting and you can still capture special “just born” moments.

Don’t f0rget to capture an image to show just how small they are. Look how tiny her feet were compared to her daddy’s hands.

After the baby is home, don’t forget to capture the cute little traits.

I followed along with the 0-3 Months chapter and captured these newborn baby essentials.
