essentials for A DIY newborn photoshoot


A DIY guide to creating the perfect newborn photos this could be for family, friends or even your own baby, you will need the following:


  • A baby - which would be a good start!
  • A large window to allow lots of natural light coming in
  • A simple white body grow/sleep suit (and extras) - completely timeless outfits!
  • A white blanket or duvet for baby to lay on
  • A bed, sofa or ottoman can replace a beanbag
  • A camera phone
  • Any cute little accessories or teddies
  • A heater to warm the room up
  • White noise - I use Spotify however a lot of my clients say Ewan the sheep is really good
  • Milk, Milk and more Milk - nothing beats a nice full tummy


I hope this rough guide helps if you are looking to create your own newborn photos from home.
