Timing is Everything
Schedule your baby's portrait session during his "good" time of day. After his nap or mealtime, for example.

Make it Personal
Her favorite blanket, toy or stuffed animal will add a personal touch and make her more comfortable during the session.

Mix up the Wardrobe
Bring a variety of different outfits to the session, from casual to more dressy, but don't change him too many times or he might get tired and fussy. Solid colors and simple lines tend to work best.

It's a Family Affair
Include other people in portraits with your baby. Holding hands with mom and dad. Big sister kissing her new baby brother on the nose. You will cherish these for years!

Be Open-Minded
Sometimes a frown, a wail or even a sleeping baby makes a great portrait. Don't shy away from expressions that capture your baby's personality.
