This is a free Tutorial on posing a newborn for photography. This tutorial shows how to safely and securely pose a newborn doing the Bum up pose. It also shows the soothing techniques that I am using to calm this baby.
This Tutorial is the first of a 3 part series showing how to do 3 separate poses. This pose will transition into the side lying pose in the video to follow. The next video will be posted within the next few days!

It’s a very hard industry to start out in, Newborn Photography. So I am hoping that by sharing some tips and tricks through my own experience, I can help some of you.

Please note that I am using a Dog bed for this posing tutorial. I will link everything that I am using. Some are affiliate links, but others are not. I try to support the hard working vendors in this industry. It’s hard to know who you can trust when ordering from and guarantee that the product will be good. Here are some of the vendors that I can recommend!
