DIY newborn photos?

Question

Has anyone here taken newborn photos at home themselves instead of paying for a professional to do them? I have a decent camera not just a iPhone camera. It’s a canon something and I would love to save money on newborn photos if I can pull them off. I would be willing to order some props/outfits on Amazon as long as they aren’t too expensive. If you have any amazon product recommendations or tips and tricks I would love to hear them!

Answer

I did my son’s at home bc it was the beginning of Covid and no one to take them in the hospital. I have a Nikon d3300 and thought they turned out nice. I didn’t buy props or anything. I just made my bed look nice and took them on there.

Answer

I've always done newborn photos at home. I can't imagine getting everyone all prettied up that soon postpartum and having a photographer in my house. I've used both a cellphone and a DSLR.

Answer

This was one of my daughter’s. I couldn’t find the ones I was trying to, but you get the idea. Haha!

Answer

My sister and I took both of my babies newborns. This is one of my son’s. You just have to have a decent camera, extra lighting, and the ability to photo edit. The props are a bonus. Amazon and Hobby Lobby for the win with most of mine.

Answer

you could find a fairly new photographer, they’re usually a LOT cheaper, but I would personally get them done professionally if you’re not familiar with poses, edits and taking pictures. it’s sooo worth it!!

Answer

I did some of my son on my iphone using the portrait mode and I was pleased with how they turned out ☺️

Answer

Nothing wrong with doing it yourself. Everything doesn't need to be professionally done. Photos are for the parents so all memories are beautiful. If you are wanting to share baby photos with others, then YouTube ideas or Google search ideas. I wish you the best! I know you will get some amazing photos with your Canon camera. 😊
