5 Photo Shoot Tips for Spring Babies

The weather is warming up, giving you the perfect opportunity to have a spring photo shoot with your baby. But what should you do to make your photos stand out for spring? From playing with spring colors and flowers to what to have your little one wear, here are some ideas and a couple of examples of how to use them that will help you take Insta-ready photos of your baby. Grab your camera and some baby blankets, and get ready to have fun setting up your baby for pictures. 

Receiving Blanket

 
Use Vibrant Colors

The first part of creating the perfect spring photos with your baby is to use the right colors. Spring brings renewal to mind and an explosion of colors as flowers start blooming. Incorporating this abundance of color is easy and can give indoor photo shoots a sense of springtime without needing to go outside. For example, orange flowers will convey a sense of vitality, while the flowers’ petals help add texture and depth to the photo.

Playing with Flowers

If you can find a place with blooming flowers, taking photos of your baby in them is the perfect spring photo. You can put down a baby blanket if you need to protect your baby’s clothes from the dirt or pick flowers and frame your baby with them on a receiving blanket. To keep the photo cohesive, pick a blanket with complementary colors, such as golds, peaches, and oranges, or other complementary colors for the flowers that you’ve chosen.

Capture the Mood with the Right Wardrobe

Next, like the blankets above, you need to have the right wardrobe that goes with the setting. First, it should be light and airy, with bright colors to capture the mood of spring. Gowns, rompers, dresses, and light vests are good choices. Material matters, too, as lace details add a softness that calls spring to mind, while heavier material is better suited for fall or winter.

Use the Right Props

Pick props that exemplify spring. Flowers are an obvious choice, but your pets are also great props, assuming they can follow commands. Baskets, stuffed animals, food, and more are all spring-related and can make for a great photo. Anything that can provide layers and textures to the shot is also good, making the photo more interesting.

Picnic in the Park

Putting all of these ideas together, you can have a picnic photo shoot with your baby. Bring a baby blanket, a picnic basket, and some spring-themed food. Baby-themed props can include a bib or stack of color-coordinated burp cloths, which can also provide texture, especially if they are made of 100% cotton muslin. This gives a contrast to the lace of a dress or a sweater over a button-down. Flowers surrounding the picnic area can provide more color. Put together, you’ll have an Insta-ready photo showing off your little one with a bright, vibrant spring theme.

As a general guideline, if you are hot during the heat of the day, assume that your baby is too.

One of the essential skills a new parent can learn is how to swaddle their newborn with a receiving blanket . Sleep can be tough to come by in the first few months after having a baby, but you and your baby can get better and safer sleep by swaddling your baby. Here is what you need to know about swaddling, including when you should stop swaddling. Baby Blankets What Is Swaddling? Swaddling uses baby blankets to wrap your baby up, holding their arms down and legs fairly close together while allowing the hips free movement. A baby blanket is usually enough, though specialized swaddle sacks are also available but are also less versatile. The goal is to keep the swaddle tight enough to keep the arms in place, but not so tight that your baby is uncomfortable. What is the Moro Reflex? The Moro reflex, or startle reflex, occurs when a baby is asleep and throws their arms and legs out to the sides. This startles them awake. Swaddling prevents their arms and legs from moving, which in turn do
