Flowers in a Newborn and Infant Photography Session | Sudbury, MA

Combining babies and flowers can result in adorable photographs that capture the essence of the time of year and the innocence of infancy.

Let's explore some fun ideas for posing spring and summer baby girls with flowers for newborn photos.

Setting the Scene and planning

When planning your newborn photo shoot, work with your newborn photographer and let them know your favorite colors and flowers you would like to use.

Newborn photographers generally have a closet full of high-quality faux flowers ready to go. If you would like to use fresh flowers, consider your budget for the add-on cost. Make sure your photographer has time to get a quote for you and have the flowers delivered to the studio.

Props and Poses

For spring babies, pastel-colored flowers like tulips, daffodils, or cherry blossoms are wonderful choices for sets.

Summer babies can be posed with bright and bold flowers like sunflowers, daisies, or wildflowers.

Safety First

Always consider the safety of the baby when incorporating props like flowers into your newborn photo shoot.

Ensure that the flowers are non-toxic and free from any sharp thorns. Live flowers fade quickly, so pose the baby first and add flowers second.  Keep a close eye on the baby at all times and be gentle when arranging them with the flowers.

Embrace Imperfection

Babies can be unpredictable, and not every newborn pose will go according to plan. That’s ok - sometimes, the most endearing photos are the ones where the baby is squirming, yawning, or making funny faces amidst a sea of flowers.

 

Photographing spring and summer baby girls with flowers is a great way to celebrate the season. By choosing the right setting, props, and poses, you can create adorable and memorable images that showcase the beauty of both the baby and the natural world around them.
