The One Pose That Makes Newborn Pics Pop (Even If You’re a Total Beginner!)

Hey, knackered mums (beginners, even pros!). Ever snapped your bub and thought, “Cute, but…why’s it looking so meh”? I’ve been there—sleep-deprived new mum, fumbling my phone, pics that didn’t do her justice. After 10+ years and 100s of bubs, many workshops with world renowned newborn photographers, I found many tricks that the workshops missed and I’ve found the pose that makes every shot pop—no fancy skills needed! There’s a pro twist to it (clients beg for this!), my free masterclass teases it, and my course spills all the juicy bits. Click below for my free 30-min video to snap those cuties like a pro—let’s make it easy and fun!

Why One Pose Changes Everything

A killer pose saves time and tears—here’s the deal:

  • Quick: 2 mins flat—no faffing, just fab pics.
  • Simple: No pro gear or know-how—phone or DSLR, you’re golden.
  • Wow: IG-worthy shots—mums glow, pros bring in cash for the family!
    Other tips push tricky setups or hours of prep—mine’s a breeze, free, and nails it. Let’s get those pics popping!

1. The Magic Curl – Tuck ‘Em In

Struggle: Flat poses—bub looks stiff and uncomfortable, pics feel boring (my early flops were all this!).
Fix: Curl bub into a “C”—knees up, hands near face, on a blanket or beanbag. Cozy comfortable vibes, instant cuteness!
Tip: Side angle it—cheeks and lashes steal the show, no effort.
Mums, memory gold; beginners, confidence boost—too easy!

2. Calm First – Settle the Wiggles

Struggle: Squirmy bub—blurry shots, total chaos (I’ve cried over these!).
Fix: Swaddle snug or shush with a vacuum hum—sleepy in seconds, pose holds steady.
Tip: If the room isn’t toasty-warm – try warm the spot first (hot water bottle, then remove)—toasty bub = happy shot!
All, less stress; pros, client-ready—pure joy!

3. The Pro Twist – Secret Sauce (Tease!)

Struggle: Good, not great—missing that “wow” factor (even pros skip this bit!).
Fix: My course unlocks it—one tweak to this pose makes clients say ‘awwwwwh!”, no extra gear. Hint: it’s all in the tilt!

    “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."
