FAQ

Newborn photo ideas: questions

What photo of my newborn should I use?

A clear, close photo in soft daylight where your baby's face is visible, asleep or awake. Avoid heavy filters and harsh flash. The prompt keeps the face and changes the outfit, the setting and the light around it.

Are these like a real newborn session?

They borrow the look of one, with knit wraps, soft linens and window light, without posing your baby at all. Every scene keeps the baby dressed and resting on something soft, so you get the keepsake without the long session.

Can I include parents or siblings?

Yes. Add a photo of each person, or a photo of you together, and say who holds the baby or sits beside them. Keep the setting simple, such as a bed or a sofa, so every face in the picture stays recognizable.
