Newborn Pose Ideas
Welcoming a newborn into your family is an incredibly special time, and capturing these precious moments can create memories you’ll cherish forever. In this blog post, we’ll explore the different types of newborn photography, help you plan for your upcoming session, and highlight some popular poses to consider. Whether you’re interested in lifestyle photography or in-studio wrapped sessions, we aim to make your experience smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable.
Lifestyle vs. In-Studio Wrapped Newborn Photography
Lifestyle newborn photography celebrates the authenticity of family connections in the comfort of your home. It’s all about capturing those genuine moments and interactions between family members. In contrast, in-studio wrapped sessions focus on stylized poses using wraps and props for artistic portraits. At Lori Pickens Photography, we offer both options to suit your preferences and make sure your newborn photographs are exactly what you envision.
Top Lifestyle Newborn Poses
- Family Snuggles: Capture tender moments as the family cuddles together, showcasing the love and warmth shared.
- Nursery Serenity: Embrace the tranquility of the nursery environment, highlighting the bond between parent and child.
- Sibling Bonding: Encourage siblings to interact with the newborn, creating heartwarming images of their growing relationship.
Top Studio Poses
- Wrapped Bundle: Swaddle your newborn in soft wraps, capturing their delicate features while ensuring comfort and security.
- Prop Perfection: Incorporate carefully selected props to add depth and texture to your images, creating timeless portraits.
- Dreamy Poses: Explore classic newborn poses showcasing your baby’s flexibility and innocence.
Wraps and Props
We provide a variety of wraps and props for your session, but you’re welcome to bring your own for a personalized touch. Consider outfits, wraps, or props that hold sentimental value to you, adding a special meaning to your photographs.
When to Schedule Your Newborn Session
It’s best to schedule your newborn session around your due date, and then we can adjust the session according to the baby’s arrival. You want to have your newborn session within the first two weeks while they are still sleepy and flexible. This timing allows us to capture those adorable curled-up poses that are characteristic of newborn photography.
Bump to Baby Bundle
Our exclusive package includes a maternity mini session, newborn session, milestone mini sessions, and a one-year milestone mini session. You’ll receive high-resolution digital files, a session slideshow, and a $500 print credit to customize your gallery. It’s the perfect way to document every precious moment from pregnancy through your baby’s first year while enjoying significant savings.
