6 Must-Have Newborn Images To Get Before You Leave The Hospital
1. Baby's Stats
Capturing photos of your newborn with their birth stats is a wonderful way to commemorate the unique details of their arrival, including their size and the exact day and time they were born. These images create a tangible connection to the precious moment your little one entered the world, making those first milestones unforgettable. If you are local, the Palmetto Market in downtown Concord, NC carries some styles of these signs along with so many other adorable goodies perfect for the arrival of your new little one. Don't forget to pack a sharpie in your hospital bag so you're ready to fill it out once your little one has arrived.
2. Capture All The Details
Celebrate your baby's little rolls, precious dimples and little fingers and toes. These photos celebrate the unique features that make your baby so special and become a treasured piece of art that your little baby will want to display forever. As your child grows, these images will serve as a beautiful reminder of their first moments. A baby study nine-series is one of my best selling products as it's the perfect artwork to show off all the precious details ensuring that you'll always have a tangible connection to your baby's first days.
2. Overhead Portrait
A straight-on, overhead portrait of your precious little one will undoubtedly steal the show when it comes to your birth announcement. Whether your baby is peacefully asleep or wide awake, it's a beautiful portrait that celebrates the arrival of your newest family member. As a graphic designer, I offer my clients customized announcement card designs so your little one can have the unique introduction he/she deserves.
4. The New Family
You'd be surprised, but the family portrait often slips our minds, yet it's arguably the most significant of all the newborn photos! This moment is best captured by a professional photographer trained in photographing babies, especially in the tight quarters of a hospital room.
A professional photographer can skillfully gather the family near the window for the best natural light, ensuring that everyone is touching someone—no dangling hands allowed! Their expertise will help you capture the snuggles and closeness that make these moments so special, creating a beautiful, lasting memory of your new arrival.
5. Size Comparison
Capturing size comparison photos, such as mom and dad's hands cradling their newborn, is a beautiful way to highlight the delicate and tiny nature of your baby in their earliest moments, creating a visual memory of just how small they once were. As your baby grows, these images will serve as a heartfelt reminder of their early days and the profound bond you share. Your artwork will be timeless keepsakes that will evoke cherished memories and emotions for years to come.
6. The Close Up
This is a time in your child’s life when the artwork should be as grand as the memories you're capturing. You could spend $5,000 at Pottery Barn Kids, only to find your neighbor's nursery looks just like yours. Or, you could keep your decor neutral and invest in professionally crafted, stunning artwork that makes your child—and your home—truly one-of-a-kind.
