Baby Pictures | The Photography Shack

Baby pictures of your newborn can be shown to family members, friends and relatives. Some family members may be living in far away towns and overseas, so you may need to share some of these images of your baby online.

We, as a family are so proud of a new addition to our family, that we want to send images of our newborn to everyone that cannot come and see the baby. I have even received requests from those who have come to see our newborn, that they want to see new images of our baby, as they become available.

I am setting up a family website with videos and images of our newborn. I am looking at updating these images every few months, as the baby grows to a young child. I will inform my friends and relatives when I have updated our family website with new baby pictures.

Images Of A Cute Photogenic Baby

I knew that my baby was cute – what parent does not feel that way? Still, when I got back the baby shower pictures, I was pretty surprised. That was one cute, photogenic kid in my opinion.

The first few baby pictures that we had taken – the ones of Julie right after the delivery – looked like all newborn babies look. She had a pinched, scrunched up, red face, and was strange, pudgy, and wrinkly all over.

Entering A Baby Picture Contest

After a few weeks, however, she had transformed pretty much completely. She looked very different from how she had at first. She even had a little bit of hair starting to grow in on her head!

When one of my friends first suggested that we enter her in a baby picture contest, I was not thrilled with the idea right at first. After all, I did not want her to be one of those over-pressured child actor kids who end up not being able to live a normal childhood.

Hiring A Professional Baby Photographer

Still, I had to admit that the baby pictures did look very good and, with a visit to a professional baby photographer, they could look even better. It seemed like it was worth a try.

When we went to the photographer’s office for the first time, we got to really get a look at her work. There were baby pictures all over the wall, and in every nook and cranny.

There were cute baby pictures, ones that looked more sedate and serious, and even a few abstract studies in form that involved babies in them. It was clear right away that this woman knew her business, and really had quite a passion for babies.

Baby Was Grumpy And Hungry

Unfortunately, getting your baby pictures done can be kind of a hit or miss proposition – especially with a newborn. If she is not in the mood for it that day, that is it. There is no reasoning with a kid that small.

Anyway, that day was a waste. None of the baby pictures really came out all that well, and after only about 5 minutes of shooting, we had to go. She was hungry and needed to be fed, and seemed pretty sleepy and grumpy as well.

The next time we went, however, was pure gold. We had some of the most gorgeous, well-put-together pictures of babies I had ever seen! I’m trying not to get my hopes up too high, but I bet we can win that contest.

Setting Up A Family Website

I am looking at sending some of the images to my friends and relatives who live too far away to see my baby. I have even set up a family website, where some of her images will be placed, showing her as she grows from a newborn to a young child.

These images will be in a secure section of the website, with password access only, as I do not want everyone to see all these images, just my nearest and dearest. Some of my friends had shown me images of their children online, so now it is my turn to show my images.

Online Video Clips Of My baby

I have video clips of my baby, soon after she was born, and I am looking at placing these videos online too. We are so proud of our baby, that I cannot wait to show everyone what she looks like. I want to show my friends living in far away towns and those overseas, as it is difficult for them to come and see my baby.

I have received many gifts from these friends, as I will send them a thankyou email with a link to my website, to see the latest videos and baby pictures.
