- One, your baby needs to have their eyes open and a lot of moms out there recommend that you take a picture after your baby had a good rest
- Two, the background needs to also be white so dressing the baby in a contrasting color will help.
- Three, you can use a white blanket, bed sheet, or even paper.
- Four, if your baby is too young, say a few weeks old then we recommend that you take the baby and lay him or her on the kitchen or a dining room table in their car seat. When your baby is ready and in position, one person should take the photo and another person should make sure that the baby is safe.
- Finally, take a lot of pictures so that you will have at least one acceptable image among them.
