12 Adorable Newborn Photoshoot Ideas

A baby’s newborn stage is so fleeting — capture it while you can! Here are 12 adorable newborn photoshoot ideas for capturing photos that you will treasure for a lifetime.

1. Focus on those pretty little eyes

Newborns may not spend too much time with their eyes open, but when they do open those pretty little peepers — my, oh, my, can it take your breath away! During your session, try and get a few shots of those gorgeous, innocent open eyes. A bright, light space like this studio loft in Santa Clara, California can help the color of their eyes shine and contrast against backdrops!

2. Bath time

Bathing your newborn is such a delicate yet beautiful process. And what a wonderful moment to capture on camera! Especially if you have a dreamy bath venue perfect for the occasion. On Peerspace, you’ll find tons of great options for your bathtime shoot with baby like this gorgeous greenhouse in Leander, Texas. This one-of-a-kind venue in North Austin was built with 100-year old beams and antique roofing tin. Plus, the rustic clawfoot tub is absolutely ideal for all your bathtime newborn photoshoot ideas.

3. Mom and me

Are you a photographer looking for new ideas to show off the strong connection between mama and her new love? How about switching things up by booking out a darling natural light studio with plenty of space to create. For our Chicago-based readers, we love the idea of booking this darling West Town studio. Have mom and baby stand near the gorgeous southwest-facing windows and capture both of their beauty in the stunning natural light!

4. Everything you wanted and more

Book a cute boho space specifically designed for shooting all your newborn photoshoot ideas! A local photographer created this stylish studio in San Clemente, California after being frustrated by the lack of thoughtfully designed spaces in her area. Thus, this cute Peerspace was born, ensuring the ability to provide full photo galleries for all newborn shoots! Not only does this space come with stunning furniture and beautiful lifestyle decor, but it also offers great add-ons like a newborn posing station and gorgeous fabrics and wraps to rent for your shoot.

5. Oh-so angelic

Forget the blues and pinks — try out some all-white newborn photoshoot ideas! White can give such an angelic and pure look to your newborn photos and there are plenty of venues on Peerspace where you can achieve this look. Check out this intimate studio in Huntington Beach, California, for example. The sheer curtains, beautiful white furniture, and touches of wicker make this space absolutely ideal for an angelic newborn shoot!

Looking for a totally unique look for your newborn photoshoot ideas? How about a black and white contrast shoot! Or, when you rent a Peerspace venue with tons of backdrop options, you can experiment with any color or mix of colors for that matter. This Las Vegas-based photography studio offers just about every backdrop color you can imagine for your shoot at no extra cost. Choose from classics (like black and white) or go for something totally original (like tulip, orchard, or blue mist)! This space also offers a variety of lights, softboxes, umbrellas and more so you can arrive pretty much empty-handed and leave with an array of stunning photos.

7. Gorgeous and glowing

Out with tradition — it’s time for some true originality with your newborn photoshoot ideas! Like how about some glowingly gorgeous lighting, a Louis Vuitton backdrop, or maybe even a storm wall in the background? In a Houston production studio like this, you can make just about any dope dream you have a reality for your newborn shoot!
