You dreamed about this child for months but nothing prepared you for the love that welled up inside when you first laid eyes on your baby. Now, each day is a new opportunity to express that love. I loved watching my baby sleep in his crib. I would check on him several times a night just because I didn’t want to miss a thing.

His tiny face was the spitting image of his father’s and that made me smile. I couldn’t imagine what my life was like before I met my son. All I knew was that I wanted to be there for him every day from that time on.

Baby Photo Ideas:

Oftentimes new moms are so conscientious of their weight that they hide from the camera. Years later they look back at the photos of baby’s first year and don’t have the pictures they wished they had. It’s as if they weren’t there for the first year! Please don’t make that mistake.

When your mother comes to visit or when daddy isn’t too tired from work, make the most of their presence to enlist their help taking pictures. Mommy feeding baby in the rocking chair and mommy changing baby’s diaper are both good picture ideas.

Mother and baby’s first outing at church dressed in their Sunday best will make a peach of a picture. Even sleepy mom holding a cranky baby as she warms a bottle is a tender moment.

When you are well enough, go out with baby. Take daddy along to snap pictures of mommy and baby visiting people and places. Take along the camera to baby’s first “well baby” visit. Capture mommy and baby in the park on a summer’s day and even in the grocery store. Be creative.

Baby Scrapbooking Ideas:

Mommy and baby moments are worth remembering. Craft stores make silly quote stickers. Pretend baby is making comments in the photographs. If you and baby visited several places in the same day, use sticker footprints or a footprint stamp to connect the pictures showing your travels.
