The baby photoshoot is quite trending in today’s social media. But it can be quite overwhelming for the baby due to the hot lights and staying away from his/ her momma bear. Swaddling the baby makes him/ her calm and composed making a warm envelope around him. Swaddling is stated to be an artificial environment for many mothers’ wombs to calm them down a little and on top of that, makes the little peanut look cute as well. 

 

Hence, having a swaddling baby for the first baby photoshoot is mandatory but there can be ways to modify the style of fabric a little in a way to make the photographs look more interesting. 

Here are some ways you could make your swaddling baby look unique without making him or her feel uncomfortable.

  1. THE SACK OF CUTENESSA sleeping baby makes the cutest baby pose ever. Make sure his half-body is securely wrapped around with the hands left free on the sides. You can choose to make him or her hold a little stuffed toy or a prop for the theme of your photoshoot. Make sure not to wrap the legs as you do with the normal swaddling.

2. BURRITO BITE

 

This one is similar to the first one just with a small modification here and there. You need to just roll the little munchkin, wrapping the fabric around the body leaving his or her hands to move around. Ensure to use a transparent and baby-friendly fabric around the baby to enhance the tiny details during the photoshoot.

3. THE HAND ARREST

 

Hand arrest swaddling requires the arms to be wrapped with the clothes with the legs set free. The cloth has to be wrapped around the upper body of the little demon. Legs need not be tied along. A second piece of fabric could be used to create a basket-like effect where the baby is covered in the cloth leaving the legs crossed and making them peek through the fabric.

4.  BEDDY BY-LAND

If you don’t want all the swaddling baby poses, you could definitely create some alterations by introducing some props along with the swaddled baby. By wrapping the legs of the baby with the fabric, put a blanket over it keeping the hands wandering around. To make it a little sweet and dreamy, use faux- fur blankets and you got your baby enjoying his trip to the beddy by land.

5. LAZY WRAPPED BUNNY

Consider using a muslin fabric for this swaddle. It is the most effortless and cool-looking swaddle you should definitely go for. The fabric must be wrapped multiple times around the baby in all directions leaving the end to be tucked around the baby’s neck very loosely. Leave the hands free for the baby to move around and set the cameras for the next set of cuteness-overloaded photos.

6. PAPA’S SUPERBOY/ WONDER-GIRL

 

Similar to the fifth pose above, wrap your baby in a similar manner as per the instructions given. You just need to add another piece of cloth around the babys legs from between tucking the remaining around the legs and leaving the two sides of the fabric making it appear as if it is flowing like a cape. And you got the superhero trying to save the day.

Ensure to use a very lightweight natural fabric if you are considering adding multiple fabrics around the baby. Make sure the air passes through the fabric allowing your baby’s skin to breathe.

7. CLASSICS

you may think normal swaddling may not look unique for your baby’s photoshoot but you cannot ignore the classics. The main purpose of swaddling is indeed to make the baby feel calm and composed and hence this ensures the baby to do so as well. You can make the normal swaddle look interesting just by adding props around him if you want to give an edge to the photos

8. IT’S ALL HANDY

Wrap the baby with the fabric securely with his arms as well. Ensure to leave a space for the hands to peek outside the piece of cloth one holding a prop with the other one tucked into his or her body making the fingers available for the lens to capture. you can even make the baby wear a wool knitted cap to make a winter cozy vibe for the photoshoot. And the results of the photos will give you a headache to get treated for baby fever.

Some things to take care about the basic 

The cute cuddly babies are known for having smooth skin that is flushed red, fresh, and hydrated. The fragrance of the baby is heavenly and you just want to wrap your baby around yourself, feeling the soft smooth skin. Your porcelain dolls are although heartbreakingly adorable but at the same time made up of glass. Baby skin is extremely vulnerable and gets rashes at lightning speed on their skin. 

 

During the baby photoshoot as well, there are abundant amounts of fabrics used on and around the little cotton ball for the themes that are picked up. No doubt about the preparations taken on both sides, whether it’s the parents or the photographers, but there are often little things that may be neglected. The clothes are preferred for the photoshoot.
