How to photograph your newborn baby
Start by laying baby on their back and shooting from above them. Roll baby on their side and photography them from a sitting position. If you’re feeling confident you can try nudging baby’s arms under their chin while they lay on their tummy. Laying baby in bowls or baskets flat of their back is another way to add variety to your DIY newborn photoshoot.
