Want to know how we create the perfect newborn front pose?
It’s all about the little details!

✨ Gently position the baby on their tummy with their arms comfortably in front.

✨ Carefully bring the hands together under the chin, keeping the head fully supported.

✨ Make sure the shoulders, elbows, and wrists stay in a natural, comfortable position.

✨ Adjust the fingers and camera angle to capture that sweet little face.

The secret? Patience, gentle adjustments, and never forcing a pose!

For any position that requires additional head support, we use hands-on support and composite editing to keep baby safe.

Save this for your next newborn session! 🤍

Getting one baby to cooperate is a challenge… now imagine two!

When photographing twins, patience is EVERYTHING!

One baby is sleeping while the other is wide awake. One is perfectly posed while the other decides it’s time for a snack.

And just when you think you’ve got them both settled… someone moves!

That’s why twin newborn sessions require extra patience, flexibility, and a whole lot of teamwork.

We follow each baby’s cues, take our time, and never rush the process.

Because getting that perfect shot of two tiny humans? Totally worth it!

Here are a few tips to make sibling posing easier!

1. Swaddle the newborn! A snug, comfortable wrap helps keep the baby calm and settled, making sibling photos much easier, especially with toddlers.

2. Keep the posing simple! Choose a comfortable position for both the newborn and the older sibling. Lying side by side can be a great option!

3. Use a prop! If the toddler is too young to safely hold the newborn, use a stable, supportive prop to create a beautiful sibling photo without having them hold the baby. Always keep the newborn fully supported and have a spotter within reach.

4. Make it fun! Don’t expect toddlers to sit perfectly still. Keep them engaged, give simple instructions, and work with their attention span.

5. Be patient! Sometimes you only have a few seconds to capture the perfect moment, and that’s all you need!

Remember, never force a pose. Safety always comes first!

Want to make your newborn sessions flow more smoothly?

One of the biggest things that changed our workflow was learning to work smarter with each setup.

Instead of constantly moving the baby or changing everything between shots, we plan our posing flow, make small adjustments, and create as much variety as possible before moving on.

Of course, every baby is different, and we always follow their cues.

Less disruption, smoother transitions, and a more efficient session without rushing the process.

One backdrop, so many possibilities!

You don’t need multiple setups to create variety in your newborn gallery.

Sometimes, all it takes is changing the baby’s position, adjusting your camera angle, adding a bonnet or headband, or bringing in a simple prop.

Small changes can make a big difference without having to start a whole new setup.

The secret is knowing how to get the most out of what you already have!

During our newborn sessions, we usually move through 3–4 different poses, depending on how comfortable and sleepy the baby is.

We usually start with side lying, then move into bump up, facing forward, and sometimes froggy pose.

The best part? These same poses can also be done with a wrap!

Of course, every baby is different, so we always follow their cues and adjust the session to what works best for them.

The froggy pose is one of the most loved newborn images, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood.

What you see in the final photo is not a baby balancing on their own.

Every second, the baby is fully supported. Hands are carefully placed, the pose is guided with patience, and the final image is created by combining multiple photos in editing. At no point is the baby ever left unsupported.

A beautiful image should never come before a baby’s safety.

This pose isn’t about tricks. It’s about experience, training, and knowing exactly how to keep your little one safe while creating timeless portraits.

Safety always comes first. Every single time. 🤍

Pinterest is full of those perfect newborn photos

But what you don’t see is everything that goes into creating them.

The patience.
The gentle movements.
The constant soothing.
The little adjustments that make all the difference.

Sometimes a single pose takes longer than expected, and that’s completely okay.

Every baby is different, and every session moves at its own pace.

Behind every beautiful newborn image is a process that requires experience, patience, and most importantly, safety.

Our priority is never just getting the perfect shot. It’s making sure your baby feels safe, supported, and comfortable throughout the entire session.

Because the final image might look effortless, but there’s so much more happening behind the scenes.
