Baby Poses For Newborn Photos

Baby poses for newborn photos are about capturing these precious moment of your just born baby. 

When is it the best time to have your newborn photoshoot for these baby poses? 

My favourite age is from 9 days old. Babies are still fresh, sleepy and more flexible to have those curly baby poses for your newborn photos. 

However for the parents, the first week is a rollercoaster trying to settle at home- Your breastmilk  is coming in if you are breast-feeding and you will have home nurse visits during that first week as well.

I always suggest parents to wait until they have settled home and to get in touch to organise their session once ready. I have the flexibility to the photoshoot within that week of getting in touch.  

Some parents might want to wait a little longer than 9 days before getting out of their house. It sure took me a while before I left my house for the first time therefore I totally understand. 

After 2 weeks old, babies are more alert, less sleepy and not as flexible for those curly baby poses. However it is still a sweet age to photograph them still so little.

Where are the newborn photos done?

Newborn sessions are done in my studio in Endeavour Hills. They are in the morning as babies and parents are a lot fresher in the morning. 

I also offer in-home session if you prefer the baby poses to happen in the comfort of your own home- especially after having a cesarean section. 

It is totally up to parents and how they feel when organising their newborn portrait session.

My baby poses for your newborn photos are all about capturing the genuine emotion and authentic connection between the family members. I have a variety of images during the session between mum, dad, Bub and all the siblings. There is an extra fee for additional extended families like grand parents.

What baby poses will you have for your newborn photos?

There will be a variety of posing during your baby photoshoot without disrupting baby too much. These posing are done in variety of combination between all the family members participating during the shoot. 

Images with family posing all together. It is mainly about capturing the authentic connection and emotions between all the members of the family with Baby. 

Siblings shots. These are done at the start of the session. Especially if you have little toddlers during the shoot.

Mum with Bub and the kids. These are precious capturing of mum with Baby, mum with Baby and all the children of the family. These can also include breastfeeding shots if wanted.  

Dad with Bub and the kids. We can’t forget Dad with Bub and all the children as well. 

Baby by him/herself. These baby poses are done when Baby is asleep. Lots of cuddles are often required and these baby cuddles are the best part of the session 😉 

Details/close up shot of baby- Remembering his/her little toes, little fingers, the hair the nose and parents hands holding baby’s hands. These are little details you will cherish in remembering how little they were. 

Prompts and guidance will be given during your photoshoot to achieve these baby poses for your newborn photos. Sessions generally go for 2-3 hours all depending on Baby, feeding, nappy changes, cuddles, siblings wanting to have a break.
