10 Adorable DIY Newborn Photo Ideas

Palm of Your Hand
This photo makes me teary because it is too precious for words. One of the benefits of taking photos when your child is a newborn is their ability to sleep (and sleep), and their size, making it easy for you to get this same photo. image source: Pinterest

Sibling Love
I don’t have any other children but if I did, I would definitely take a photo with the kids only. Being an older brother or sister is a big deal and there’s no better way to convey that message than with a photo. image source: Pinterest

Basket Case
For whatever reason, people love putting their newborns into some sort of basket to take a picture. Hopefully, you have one that’s somewhat decorative at home or can borrow one should you want an adorable photo of your little one chilling out inside a basket. image source: Bella Grace Lynn

Booty Bump
Let the oohs and ahhs begin; you know there is nothing more darling than a newborn’s tushy. This is a top pose when it comes to newborn photography that never gets old. image source: Carrie Sandoval

Foot loose
Get those tootsies ready for their closeup. Once you are doing with your mini shoot you can even ink them for footprint wall art and other keepsakes. image source: Jiffer Doodle

Shirley Temple
Don’t let the name fool you as this pose is perfect for girls and boys. Prop up your newborn by placing their head in between their hands. image source: Kelli Higgins Photography

All Smiles
Babies’ faces can do some pretty hilarious stuff as they find their way outside of the womb. If you are lucky, snap a picture of your newborn smiling that you can use for an announcement or personal album. Just note it will take a little patience. image source: Katie Anderson Photography

The Yawn
This one is not to be confused with The Scream as parents of newborns already have to deal with this nonstop. Keep your camera handy to take a photo of your little one yawning while their are asleep. image source: Shutterbox Photos

Hanging Around
Okay before you strap your child to some contraption from the ceiling, please make sure it’s secure with safety precautions in place. Nevertheless, a snap of your newborn just hanging around is a photo viewers will cherish. image source: Pinterest
