Did you know newborns have a strong grasp reflex and can hold onto objects tightly? Newborn baby close up details (also known as Macro Photography) are an absolutely adorable way to showcase your new baby’s tiny-ness, and stir up alllll the feels. Look how small their hand is next to yours! Want some adorable inspiration for your baby’s upcoming photography session? Here are a few of my favorites:

Baby Close-ups

Capturing your newborn in close-up images highlights their delicate features and creates a sense of intimacy. Detail images focus on their little nose, lips, and ears. These close-ups will help you remember just how small and precious they were.

Capturing Tiny Features

Every newborn has unique features that makes them one of a kind: the shape of their eyes, the curve of their lips, and the texture of their hair. These tiny features change quickly, so capturing them in photos will help you remember them forever.

Baby Fingers and Toes

One of the sweetest parts of newborn photography is capturing their tiny fingers and toes. These images not only showcase how small they are but also highlight their unique characteristics. A photo of your baby’s hand wrapped around your finger or their little toes peeking out from a blanket can be incredibly nostalgic.

Adorable Newborn Expressions (The Story Board)

Newborns might be small, but they have a wide range of expressions. From sleepy yawns to curious gazes, and the hilarious side eye, capturing these moments provides a glimpse into their unique personality even at such a young age! Capture their little smiles, frowns, and even the funny faces they make when they’re asleep. These photos will bring joy for years to come.

Each baby has unique features that set them apart. Maybe it’s a birthmark, a special way they curl their fingers, or the shape of their nose. Highlighting these features will make them even more meaningful.

Precious Newborn Details

Newborns grow so fast, and the details that seem so prominent now will soon be a distant memory. Take the time to photograph the precious details, like the wrinkles on their hands and feet, to remember just how tiny and perfect they were. Take a look at more of our Newborn Session Inspiration!
