If I used my own camera, I would have to wait until I have used all of the film on the roll and then had to wait to have them developed. Technology has come a long way and most people even carry a smartphone that has a built in camera. Today, I wanted to share some tips on how to take your own newborn photos.
When Should I Schedule a Newborn Photo Shoot?
Most professional photographers recommend that you take newborn photos before they are 10 to 14 days old. Babies typically sleep during a lot during the first few days of life and it makes photo shoots go smoothly. Plus, you can easily pose them in different positions without them waking up every time they are moved. A sleeping baby doesn’t need a pacifier in their mouth, cry, cross their eyes, flail their arms, or make weird faces.
