Baby-Led Posing: Capturing the Most Natural Moments of Your Baby | Montreal Newborn Photographer

Updated: Dec 28, 2023


As a new parent, you want to capture every special moment with your little one. You go to great lengths to ensure that their first photos are perfect, right down to their poses. But what if I told you that the best way to capture your baby's essence was by letting them do whatever they want and not posing them at all? This is what baby led posing for newborn sessions is all about. As a photographer who has worked with countless new parents, I cannot stress enough how important it is to embrace your baby's natural self.

The Baby Led Posing technique is centered around allowing your baby to be in charge of the photo shoot. By keeping them in their most comfortable state, you'll end up with pictures that highlight their most genuine expressions and movements. This approach eliminates the need to force them into posing awkwardly or uncomfortably. Instead, you can sit back and let them dictate what works best for them. So we aren't sitting around for long periods of time trying to "pose" them or even make them fall asleep.


One of the benefits of Baby Led Posing is that the photos capture the newborn experience with all of its nuances. You'll notice their tiny hands and feet, the way they stretch and wiggle, and the way they look at their surroundings with curiosity. Essentially, you're capturing a portrait of their very own unique selves.
