How To Get The Perfect Photo Birth Announcement

More and more parents are choosing to send a photo birth announcement to announce the birth of their baby. This is a great opportunity to introduce your little one to family and friends who may not get to see the baby for a while. Of course, they want to see a picture. Does she have her mommys eyes? Does he have his daddys smile? That expression is just like Grandpa!

Memory books and keepsake boxes will fill with your photo birth announcement. Reveal the babys name, date of birth, time of birth, birth weight, birth length along with a precious picture of you little bundle of joy.

Taking a photo of an infant is not always an easy task. Use a digital camera set at the highest resolution. Take many, many photos. While she sleeps, yawns, stretches, anytime that you have a chance, snap a photo.

Ask family and friends to email you the photos that they have taken. Keep them in their original form. If you choose to crop a photo that you may use on your announcement, be sure to keep the original. You, or a graphic artist, will be better able to work with an original photo and make it fit properly on the announcement.

White or Black backgrounds are always classy

Choose soft colors to dress the infant in

Photograph the baby after naps, while content

Have dad hold the baby on shoulder (like burping) and take a photo from behind dad while the baby is lifting his head. Make sure dads shirt is a solid color and does not clash.

Sleeping babies are beautiful. Many parents become frustrated waiting for that perfect shot of the babys eyes. However, a sleeping baby is precious, serene and oh so sweet. Prepare ahead of time and dress the baby for his photo before he lies down for a nap. Prepare the napping place with accommodating backgrounds (a white blanket, black sheet, pastel colors). Make sure the background is clear of furniture, toys, and other items. Lay the baby down for his nap and wait. Peaceful, sleeping babies make adorable photo announcements.

Researching photo ideas prior to the birth of your baby will be very helpful. This way, after the baby is born, you will have an idea of how you want to take the photo. Narrow your announcement choices down to about three. Pick one that has a horizontal photo, one with a vertical photo, and maybe one with a square or circular photo. When you finally get that perfect picture, you will have card choices that will accommodate.

Along with your card choice, decide early on your opening line, and signature. The rest for the photo birth announcement will have to wait, until the arrival date!
