1. Provide your infant with the greatest lighting possible

Choose a place with plenty of natural light to achieve the glowy, angelic effect that baby images are known for. (Thank you for no flashes today.) Make your DIY baby photographs studio in the room with the best natural light in your home. If you want to shoot on the floor, Pregnant Chicken's Amy Morrison shows a greater window or folding door that lets light in all the way back down to the floor.

2. Schedule your photoshoot around your baby's schedule

Because your subject can be a diva, think about when your infant is most happy during the day (say after a meal) and film around those times. Keep in mind that some infants are easier to photograph when they're sleeping, so schedule your shoot around nap time. Casey first From DIY Playbook recommends using a radiator to maintain newborns warm and playing calming music to keep them calm.

3. Use neutral, textural accessories to let your baby's personality come through.

To avoid distracting your infant, choose objects and garments that are neutral in color and tone. A light color will reflect light rather than absorb it, which will help with the coloring of the picture. Use a textured item, such as a knit blanket to provide visual interest. Blankets can also be used as a backdrop because they don't wrinkle like linens and drapes.

4. Before you start shooting, make sure you're baby-ready

Before you set your infant in location for the shot, Bridget from DIY Handbook suggests changing your lighting. This will save your time since you won't have to continuously readjust, and it will make the baby happier because they'll be able to get into and out of this chevalier scenario faster. It's also a good idea to have extra baby costumes and props on hand in case they have an incident or if they're in a positive mood and willing to swap their outfit for a different set of foreground/background combinations.

5. Prepare your camera for the finest possible shot

Set your point and shoot the camera to portrait mode. This helps to obscure the background & smooth the skin colors and hair, making the baby look more attractive.

If you're using a DSLR camera, set the aperture to the minimum amount possible to achieve a soft, bokeh effect. Use it in conjunction with a portrait shot (around 85mm). Focus on your baby's eyes by zooming in.

6. Onset, keep your baby supported

Shooting your kid on the baby stroller allows you to obtain the above images while also ensuring that your child does not roll off anything. How much does the average baby stroller cost? For the most part, what you can purchase for your child is determined by your budget. You want high-quality baby goods, but you can't afford them. A stroller is one of the most expensive expenditures a parent can make for their child. While some inexpensive umbrella strollers can be found for under $50, a bigger multi-seat stroller with multiple features can easily cost over $500.

7. Photograph from above

To be safe, keep your DSLR strap on. You do not want it to fall out of your grasp. Because that doesn't look flattering on anyone, angle your camera so that you're aiming down the baby's nose instead of up. If you're shooting your infant from a high vantage point,
