Showcase your new arrival. The best time to photograph a newborn is when they
are sleeping. Generally, if the baby is in a bucket or on a soft blanket, it works best.
One parent should be responsible for spotting the newborn in case he or she moves. Use props. Utilizing the right props for your holiday
session can really enhance your portrait. Stick with a
simple and purposeful setup to keep the focus on the
most important aspect of your photo, — your kids!
PRO TIP: Newborn photo shoots around the holidays can be used for your
Christmas cards. Get the entire family involved, even your pets.
EDITOR’S TIP:
SET UP HOLIDAY THEMES
INVOLVING YOUR LITTLE ONE
Most newborn photo shoots take place
before 2 weeks of age. If your baby
arrives in November, it’s the perfect time
to combine your baby announcement
and holiday photos. In addition to having
your photographer take classic newborn
shots of your baby, send them ideas for
winter scene setups so they can shot
these at the same time. You can use
the images (with or without the classic
photos) for the holiday cards you send
to family and friends.

festive spirit.
