Is there an official newborn baby photo thread?
I would love to look at some pictures and get some ideas. I havent' decided if I will do newborn pics but maybe it will help inspire me. I am also very nervous about doing this. Newborn pics are between 6 to 13 weeks? This is will be my first child. I think I'm nervous just holding the baby let along posing the baby for pics. Who poses the baby? The parents or the photographer?
Also, if we do, I'm sure the popular photographers are all booked. If you can suggest a photographer that would be greats! My due date is 6/21.

Newborn pictures should be done before the baby is 2 weeks old, but even thats pushing it. I recommend no later than 1 1/2 weeks.....
I think alot of the photographers on this site keep some dates open for newborns...

woah! 2 weeks is way too young. I think we'll pass on the photo session.
Maybe we'll take a stab at it with DH's DSLR at home.

We did newborn photos last week at 6 days. It was an absolutely beautiful experience and I can't wait to get the pics back!

You can do them after that, but you wont get the cute smooshy sleeping baby poses that you see on this site.
Order some cute hats, use a bean bag chair or boppy to position and do them in natural light (near a window) with no flash. You'll get the best results that way

Thanks! That's definately an option.
Do you think there will be any available photographers left if we wait till after the baby is born to book? Maybe 3 days after birth, when I feel comfortable enough? I really want those photos and I don't want to regret not having them. I'm so indecisive.

Re: Is there an official newborn baby photo thread?
best time for newborn pics are between 7-14 days old...the baby is more posable then, more sleepy, not a high chance of baby acne at that point
we did my sons pics when he was 9 days old 
the photog came to me, brought props and posed him the way she saw fit
here are some pics
this is the one we used for the birth announcement

pinkandblue, those pictures are adorable!!
Great choice for the birth announcement.
I love the idea of having the photographer come to you. I'm sure you paid an pretty penny for that too. Do you mind sharing who you used as a photographer?
