When baby isnât having it for froggie pose, we compromise and simplify it â¤ď¸
Newborn posing is not easy but it is so sweet â¤ď¸
Iâll be honest, I want certain poses just as much as parents do but some times itâs just not going to happen which is why I tell all my newborn clients that my sessions are baby led. I stop attempting a pose after a few minutes if Iâm getting too much resistance from baby, or if they indicate something is not comfortable for them. We may go back and try again later but one thing about newborn posing many donât understand is not every baby can or will go into every pose. I have ended sessions due to a babyâs discomfort.
The froggie pose is actually one of the most advanced and difficult to achieve. The baby must be sound asleep and not moving to make the composite image work. They also need to be flexible enough to sit in the right position.
I canât imagine why any parent would insist on forcing something on their baby and I have had this happen and I have had to insist on no and I explain why. No pose no matter how much we want it is worth harming a baby, itâs as simple as that.
Grandma still had a hand in this shot with a finger keeping the head from falling to one side. Safety always!
Newborn photography is my favorite genre and you can see why!
