Capturing the Cutest Moments for Your Newborn Photoshoot

As a newborn photographers, one of the most iconic and endearing poses we love to capture is the froggy pose. It’s one of those classic looks that immediately evokes the sweet, sleepy serenity that every new parent wants to remember about their little one. If you’re a parent preparing for a photoshoot, or you’re just beginning to explore options for your newborn session, here’s why the froggy pose is one you don’t want to miss!

What is the Froggy Pose?

The froggy pose involves gently positioning the newborn baby into a relaxed, curled-up position with their chin resting on their hands, resembling a tiny frog. This pose mimics the natural fetal position that babies love to snuggle into, and it’s as adorable as it sounds! This pose is done as a composite with 2-3 photos blended together in Photoshop.

Why Choose the Froggy Pose for Your Newborn Session?

1. Timeless and Classic Look
   The froggy pose is one of those timeless looks that never goes out of style. Whether it’s a baby boy or girl, the simplicity and innocence of the pose can make any photo feel magical. It’s one of those images that will remain just as beautiful years later as the day it was taken.
2. Perfect for Capturing the Newborn’s Natural Curves
   Newborns are naturally curled up and flexed for the first few weeks of life, and the froggy pose showcases this natural, cozy feel. It’s a beautiful way to capture the tiny details of their hands, toes, and sweet little face in a pose that feels natural and comforting.
3. Adds Variety to Your Gallery
   Incorporating a variety of poses into your newborn session creates a more dynamic and visually interesting gallery. The froggy pose pairs well with other setups like sleeping on a soft blanket, being cradled in a parent’s arms, or nestled in a prop like a basket or wooden bowl. The diversity in your photos will allow you to cherish different aspects of your newborn’s early days.
4. Safe, Relaxed, and Comfortable for Baby
   The froggy pose can look intricate, but rest assured, when done by an experienced photographer, it’s entirely safe and comfortable for your baby. I ensure that your little one is always supported and that the pose is held only for short periods of time, allowing the baby to stay as calm and relaxed as possible. Their comfort is my top priority. As we mentioned above it is a composite image.
