The perfect baby photos - precious memories of the first time together 

The first weeks with your baby are very special. With the perfect baby photos, you can capture these emotional memories and the development of your child forever. Because the first few weeks usually fly by and babies develop so quickly and conquer the world. To capture this development between all the feelings of happiness and stress, we prepare you perfectly for your first baby shoot with us. We give you valuable tips for the preparation, show you ideas for the photo shoot and answer the most common question about the ideal time for perfect baby photos.

The perfect time for baby photos

When is the right time for a baby photo shoot depends entirely on you and your ideas and wishes. If you decide on baby photos in the first 10 days after birth, the baby is sleepy and can't be disturbed by anything. Fluffy blankets, pillows and sleeping positions are ideal for baby photos. If you prefer more active baby photos, we recommend taking the photos approx. 4-6 months after birth. Your baby will be more awake and aware of its surroundings. Most babies can hold their heads on their own. So here you have the choice between a newborn and a baby photo shoot.
If you wait a little longer, the babies can usually sit upright and imitating gestures and activities is particularly fun for them. So you can also capture your baby's development with baby photos.

The preparation before the first baby shoot

The best trick for baby photos is calmness and relaxed parents. Therefore, preparation for the first shoot is important. To make sure your baby is comfortable, the time of the shoot should be based on your baby's natural sleeping rhythm. If it works, feed your baby in advance so that your little one is happy during the shoot. If your baby gets hungry during the shoot, you can of course breastfeed or feed your baby to replenish his or her energy.
For especially beautiful baby photos, you should choose a comfortable outfit for your baby without large prints and patterns. In addition, it would be advisable to have spare clothes in case of a small mishap. Coordinate your outfits and use muted colours. This way the focus is on you and your baby. In addition, you are welcome to bring along personal items such as cuddly toys, soothers or blankets. These are sure to bring a smile to your baby's face.
We give your baby enough time to explore the new environment and to get used to it as best as possible. A photo shoot like this is also exciting and stressful for you. After all, you want everything to go smoothly during the photo shoot. Don't worry - our photographers are specially trained to put you and your baby in the limelight and to lighten the mood so that you too can be completely relaxed. After all, the most beautiful baby photos and family photos are created when everyone feels comfortable.
