Baby photo books to capture memories

Documenting your baby's special memories and milestones is one of the best ways to experience their growth journey. Do so by creating a newborn photo album. These are great ways to capture those precious memories and share them with family and friends. With Snapfish, you can easily create a beautiful baby photo album that will last. A baby photo album is a great way to capture your baby's first year and will look great alongside framed photo tiles. By taking pictures in the nursery right after birth and continuing to take them at set intervals, you'll be able to track their growth and development. When choosing a photo book, look for one with a hard cover that won't easily get damaged.

Create a baby's first year photo album

Your baby photo album should include milestone photos as well. These are the first steps, first words or other important events in your child's life, like the first time sleeping through the night. This can become a beautiful gift later in life too, such as for a graduation or marriage. Personalized baby memory books can also be perfect keepsakes to hand down to future grandkids or just to look at on a rainy day. With Snapfish, you can customize your baby photo book your way to make it completely one-of-a-kind and tell your story. To get started, select the right hardcover photo book orientation that will best showcase your images. Next, choose the paper type for your book between semi-gloss and matte-finish. You can customize the pages of your high-quality hardcover book to perfectly display your toddler's most cherished memories.

Newborn photo taking tips

When taking photos, keep in mind that newborns are short on energy and patience. Set up the camera or phone and props beforehand so you'll be able to get the perfect shot before they start to fidget too much. Before you start, make sure you have ample battery life on your phone or camera as well as space for all the images you're about to capture. To keep your newborn happy, try the following tips:

• Have the baby's face forward when taking photos. This helps them to focus on you instead of the camera.
• Use a swaddling blanket to help them feel cozy and relaxed.
• Offer them something to suck on, such as a pacifier or dummy. If they refuse, don't force it.
• Keep the pictures simple by having no more than three objects in the frame at a time.
• Don't hesitate to ask someone else to take pictures for you if you're feeling exhausted or stressed out.
