3 Ways to Mix Up Newborn Pics (No More Same-Old Shots!)

Hey, busy mums, photo beginners and pros! Fresh bub pics for all!
Sick of every bub pic looking the same—bed, blanket, yawn? I’ve been there—new mum rut, snapping my girl in the same spot, boring myself silly. After 10+ years and 100s of bubs, I’ve got 3 hacks to shake it up—phone or DSLR, no pro gear needed! Mums, you’ll save memories; beginners, you’ll nail cute shots; pros, you’ll snag client-ready tips (my course has even more!). My free masterclass adds tricks—my free 30-min video. Let’s snap some variety, fun and easy!

Why Mixing It Up Wins
Same-old kills the vibe—here’s why these hacks rock:

  • Fast: 5-min switches—new looks when bub’s calm, no faffing.
  • Cheap: Home bits—zero cash, all cozy charm.
  • Real Deal: Fresh shots, any stage—mums save memories, pros wow clients!
    Other tips need fancy sets—mine’s simple, free, and gets those pics popping. Let’s go!

1. Pillow Prop – Angle Twist

  • How: Pop bub on a pillow—soft lift, new height, no boring bed blah. Partner holds for a giggle—angles shift, grins glow.
  • Shoot: Side snap—cheeks catch light, variety pops, no same-old flatness.
  • Tip: Layer a knit blanket—texture sings, quick switch!
    Mums, fun keepsake; pros, client-ready—too easy!

2. Floor Play – Low Glow

  • How: Lay bub on a blanket on the floor—wood or rug peeks through, earthy vibes. Roll a soft toy near—older bubs grab, action shines.
  • Shoot: Low angle—eyes sparkle, floor lifts it, no bed rut here!
  • Tip: Near a window—soft light spills, no dull or dreary pics.
    Beginners, fresh wins and variety for bubs; pros, IG gold!

3. Nest Nook – Cozy Curve

  • How: Tuck bub in a basket or box—line with a linen + knit blanket, cozy nest vibes, mess hides fast.
  • Shoot: Overhead—curls glow, nest frames it, no samey snooze.
  • Tip: Add a flower—tiny hands reach, variety pops in 5 mins!
    Mums, enjoy memory magic; pros, pro-level the easier way!

    “Jess was absolutely amazing with our newborn son during the shoot. I felt so comfortable with the way she nurtured his needs and comforted him during the process. Plus the final product was amazing and there is lots of different packages you can choose from that suit your needs."
