BABY CHRISTMAS PICTURE IDEAS
by Jen
Taking a Nap
This has to be one of the most precious baby Christmas picture ideas that I've seen this entire holiday season! Most baby Christmas photos lack imagination but this pose looks very natural and more importantly, very spontaneous and un-staged.
The sweet infant taking a nap snuggled up on Santa in her 1st Christmas outfit is enough to warm the heart of the most grumpy Scrooge or Grinch on earth.
If you are looking for some creative baby Christmas picture ideas this is one that I would want included in my portrait package for sure! I was thinking that an easy way to make this happen outside a professional studio setting would be to take your camera with you when you do your last minute shopping (making sure your daughter is wearing her best baby Christmas dress, of course) and see if the mall Santa would be willing to sit for an impromptu photo shoot.
