First "professional" shots weren't done until she had school photos at daycare around 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173933 Wed, 30 May 2012 17:52:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 173933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: thanks! We honestly just let him put himself in the position he wanted, this was his favorite position for the whole first month haha. </p> <p>@HabesBabe: I upload them to photobucket, then you just copy the HTML code, viola :)</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: @mrskc: @MsMamaBear: @googly-eyes: thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173926 Wed, 30 May 2012 17:45:19 +0000 Mrsbells 173926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like newborn pictures. the baby was squished inside the womb anyway so I dont think the uncomfortable looking poses hurt the baby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173917 Wed, 30 May 2012 17:34:19 +0000 googly-eyes 173917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee SO cute!</p> <p>I like newborn pictures but some of them make me think "ouch that looks uncomfortable." I also think some moms go overboard, but that's just my personal opinion, if that's what they want and they can afford it, great.</p> <p>We will have some done because our hospital contracts with a photographer, so they will be done at the hospital. I was really happy to find that out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173915 Wed, 30 May 2012 17:31:17 +0000 HabesBabe 173915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: OMG so cute!!!!!</p> <p>When the heck did we start posting pics?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173914 Wed, 30 May 2012 17:30:16 +0000 MsMamaBear 173914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Cocobee's is cute!

I read somewhere not to bring baby's legs up to their chest, and so many of these pictures have a baby "sitting" in that position... </p> <p>Anyway, we didn't do super posed shots, but I love our newborn pics.</p> <p>This was our favorite one: <a href="http://s1150.photobucket.com/albums/o607/CocoBee22/Cobi/?action=view&amp;current=25.jpg"><img src="http://i1150.photobucket.com/albums/o607/CocoBee22/Cobi/25.jpg" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p> <p>You can look at the rest of his shoot here: <a href="http://photobucket.com/JacobiR" rel="nofollow">http://photobucket.com/JacobiR</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173854 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:30:26 +0000 Running Elley 173854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The kind of newborn pictures that we are getting will be done in the hospital. We’d like to have some special moments in our son’s first few days of life captured as memories. There won’t be any “in the delivery room” pictures but I’d like a picture of my husband announcing the news to family in the waiting room, reactions, baby first meeting all of the immediate family, a picture of baby with our name on his little bracelet, etc.</p> <p>I also think the newborn pictures propped into weird positions are a little awkward…even though some can be unbelievably cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173850 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:27:11 +0000 photojane 173850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>as a newborn photographer, i love them. :)</p> <p>i'm totally with y'all though... the modern poses and props are creepy as heck. i keep all of my newborns sessions as natural and authentic as possible. whoever thought to put a baby on his/her elbows anyway?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173840 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:22:06 +0000 heffalump 173840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love them!</p> <p>We kept our lo's pictures very simple. I wanted the focus on her, not props and clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173801 Wed, 30 May 2012 16:03:21 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 173801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry if this is blasphemy, but most newborns are not that cute. I much prefer pictures of older babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173790 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:57:59 +0000 hilsy85 173790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love newborn pictures...but I agree, the ones where they're super posed are awkward and creepy. @jessiejo17: YES totally agree. I also hate ones where they're suspended in things like hammocks or stockings. It makes me SO nervous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173782 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:52:31 +0000 autumnlove 173782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like normal pictures when the babies aren't contorted into awkward positions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173772 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:39:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 173772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like them, however I enjoy the ones when they are older better. When they get too "Anne Geddes" it freaks me out a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173766 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:35:27 +0000 Andrea 173766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those super posed/baby in baskets kind of thing creep me out too so we didn't do those. There was a photographer in the hospital and he got a few sweet shots of us just holding the LO. They came out great and that was our newborn photo shoot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173759 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:32:29 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 173759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until 5 months to take pictures of Cecilia and we plan to do the same for M. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173757 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:32:06 +0000 HabesBabe 173757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like newborn photos that aren't SUPER posed (like @mediagirl said-- none w/ their heads propped up on their hands, please). But I like seeing them curled up and sleeping.</p> <p>I'm trying to find an up-and-coming photog to do our newborn photos, because there is no way in hell I am going to spend $500+ for some pictures of a sleeping baby-- even if it's my sleeping baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173751 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:29:54 +0000 mediagirl 173751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like the ones where they are propped up in unnatural positions. No babies lay with their heads on their hands, propped up on elbows. I mean, come on. I do think some sleepy baby pictures of babies laying on blankets or in their cribs are special, though. I don't plan on spending money on newborn pictures but I do plan on taking lots and LOTS of pictures of our LO when she is first born. I did buy a white blanket from Ikea to use for said pictures so they have just her and a simple background. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-any-not-like-newborn-pictures#post-173748 Wed, 30 May 2012 15:27:23 +0000 Rock n Roll 173748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The maternity picture thread made me think about newborn pictures. I don't dislike pictures of newborns as a rule or anything, but I kind of find the ones of them sleeping and propped up on stuff kind of creepy. We didn't get any pro pictures of my daughter until she was old enough to be awake in them. </p> <p>But I know a lot of people LOVE the sleepy baby pictures. How do you feel? </p>
