After getting Jack's newborn pictures done by Candice of Candi Cane photography, I learned a lot about the art of newborn photography. In this post, I will reveal 4 things you may not have known about newborn photoshoots! At the bottom of this blog post, you can enter to win a $50 gift card from Candi Cane photography towards a photoshoot.

Newborn Photography:
4 Things You May Not Know
1. Newborn photos are captured under 2 weeks of age usually. Babies sleep and curl up in those sweet poses best at this age.
2. It is usually very warm in the room or house where the baby is being
photographed. Candice had us turn the heat up in the studio and she also used a space
heater to keep Jack warm and comfy. She told me that her motto is "If we are comfortable, then the
baby probably is not!" Most poses are done naked and baby is happiest
warm and snuggly.
3. Some shots you see are Photoshopped for baby's safety. The
classic "froggy pose" or "hands under the chin" pose are 2 images composited together in Photoshop. A hand is on baby at all times in this
particular shot. Baby does not pose like this on his or her own.
4. Newborn shoots take time and lots of patience! Most shoots last
around 3-4 hours if baby cooperates the entire time. It's not just
sticking the baby in a basket and snapping a picture. You have to be
patient for baby to completely relax in the poses.

Meet the Photog: Candice
My name is Candice. I am 25 years young and there is just something so
special to me about capturing a moment on camera and then seeing the
smile that it creates on my client's face! I absolutely adore working
with babies and children. My specialty is newborns I would say! I always
wanted to have a job when I grew up where I could be around newborns
and babies all the time. Now I get to live that dream! I get to play
with them and create memories that their families will never forget. I
have been known as the baby whisperer.
