Now that you’ve completed your newborn’s photo shoot and
you’ve ordered your prints, what do you do with them?
1. The first, and most obvious, is hang the prints on your wall.
Pick a place where you’ll see them every day, and perhaps
start a “gallery wall” in your living room or a hallway with plenty of room to
expand as your family matures. [can link to this post:

later date, we’ll have a post discussing how to decorate with family photos,
but for now, start getting those photos up where your family and guests can
admire them.
2. Send out birth announcements.
KLJ Studios offers design services for birth announcements,
using those professional images of your newborn and highlighting them in the
best way possible. Let the studio do the heavy lifting of design and
arrangement so that the new parents can spend more time getting to know their
newborn!
3. Give prints as gifts.
There’s nothing grandparents like more than seeing (and
sharing) photos of their new grandbabies. Frame photos of your baby so
grandparents can proudly place them in their homes. Giving prints as gifts
doesn’t have to stop at grandparents, however; other family members might enjoy
putting professional photographs of your baby in their homes, as well. With so
many families living far apart these days, photographs are a way to bring
everyone closer.
4. Include Baby in your holiday cards.
If Baby was born earlier in the year, you can schedule a
second shoot closer to the holidays for a more updated picture—and consider
designing a card with the newborn photo next to a more recent photo to show
just how much Baby has grown! You could even share a series of photos
demonstrating Baby’s different stages over that first year.
5. Create a baby book.
It might seem like just another chore for Mom to do, but a
baby book is a lasting expression of your child’s first years. This doesn’t
have to be a mom-only project, either—other caregivers and even the baby’s
siblings can be involved in arranging prints inside the book. Young
children—and even teenagers—will be delighted for years to come by flipping
through the pages of their baby book, especially if those pages include photos.
Don’t Miss the Milestones
KLJ Studios offers a “Little Footprints” portrait plan for
your baby’s first year, working with your infant through the major milestones
and stages of babyhood. You can choose
from three “ages & stages”—the 5-6 months when Baby is sitting up and
exploring, 9-12 months, when baby is standing and maybe even cruising, and the
one-year milestone, which includes a complimentary cake for the iconic “smash
cake” shot. Be sure to take advantage of plans like this to ensure you don’t
miss these special moments!
