Free baby photography diagrams
These ten diagrams were drawn for the guides on this site. Nothing here is stock art, and nothing is behind an email form. Take them, use them, put them in your own blog post or class handout. The only condition is a credit line linking back.
They cover the things parents get wrong most often: where to stand relative to the window, which newborn poses are actually two photos merged in editing, what colors do to newborn skin, and how big a phone photo really prints.
Where to place a baby relative to a window
Why a baby photographed at 45 degrees to the window looks shaped, and at 90 degrees looks flat.
Safe newborn poses vs composite-only poses
Three poses safe to try at home, and the one that is always two photos merged in editing.
Colors that flatter newborn skin
Warm neutrals, cool grays and muted pinks work. Saturated primaries and hard black or white fight the skin.
Baby photo timeline for the first year
Newborn to twelve months, marking the developmental milestones worth photographing.
What a 2048 x 2560 file prints at
The 300 DPI arithmetic, shown against 4x6 through 11x14 prints.
How window light changes through the day
Soft mid-morning, harsh midday, warm late afternoon, and why overcast days are free diffusion.
Three ways to hang a first-year series
Grid, salon and picture ledge, and which suits which family.
Posed portraits vs documentary photos
What each approach captures, and why most families want both.
Choosing an audience before you post
Family, friends and public, with the sharing method that matches each.
Safe and unsafe newborn props
What is safe on the floor, and what only works as a professional composite.
