Remember These Few Points Before You Photograph Your Baby

It is important to capture the ephemeral, squishy moments of your child to cherish forever. You do not require to hire any photographer or go to a studio to do so. Simply set up the easy and correct set up for the photo-shoot in the comfort of your home.

Remember that the comfort of your baby is most important while you carry out the baby photoshoot ideas at home. Keeping that in mind, choose a time like after a meal or while they are asleep and then shoot. Photographing a newborn when sleeping is the easiest thing to do, so coordinate accordingly. The room where you shoot should be kept warm and you can play soothing music to create a comfortable environment. If you have a garden and the weather is good you can do an outdoor shoot with the help of your partner.

Choose a space that has ample of natural light. You do not need to use any kind of flashes. Flashes disturb the child and flash photos aren’t ‘trendy’ today. The room with most sunlight is best for converting to a DIY baby photo studio. If you intend to shoot on the floor then find a window or sliding floor that will let the light inside all the way down to the floor.

When picking up props and outfits, choose neutral colors and similar shades thus the focus remains the baby and nothing serves as a distraction. Light colors reflect light so pick a light, neutral, pastel color. Blankets can be used as a backdrop. The sheets and curtains might wrinkle till the time the photos are done. Visual interest can be added with the help of a textured prop like knitted toys, blankets and scarves.
