3 Tips for Great Baby Photos

There are many things that can be done for great month by month baby photos. To get the best shots there are 3 things that can be done to maximize your success with getting to die for pictures of your baby.


1st understand the stage of your baby to set the best expectations for what type of photo you're going to get.   Little Nora at 2 months as shown by her Baby Month Sticker from Picky Sticky

  • 0 to 3 months - Babies can't sit up yet and typically look best laying down or leaned up in a chair or something else that's very supportive.
  • 4 to 6 months - They can sit up now and will look good sitting in a chair or on a blanket.
  • 7 to 9 months - Here they are much more emotional and wiggly. They may be crawling around so it's good to give them a reason to sit up to catch their full body. Try rattles or other distractions to get them off their tummy and sitting upright.
  • 9 to 18 months - Walking yet??? They may be walking or close to it which is a great opportunity to catch them as they are excited and want to show off how well they stand. Make it exciting for them and encourage how well they are doing.
2nd Make sure they are fed. They will be much more happy after a meal and will photograph much better. A full baby is a happy baby. They won't wiggle around as much and will be much more relaxed.
3rd Pick the best time of the day... for them. Typically they nap mid day so the best time is morning or after a nap when they'll really give you their best. Ensure that the photos are taken during the best time for them.

Great tips!! Picky Sticky has also been generous enough to give away the most adorable Fairy Princess 1st Year Set Stickers

  1. The only pics I can seem to get out of my son is of him walking. He does not sit still or look at me long enough for anything else. I get a lot of side shots!
