Capturing your newborn’s first days is magical, but some common mistakes can lead to disappointing results. Here’s what to avoid: 

❌ **Skipping Professional Photography** – Newborns grow fast! DIY photos often lack the right lighting, angles, and focus that a professional can provide. 

❌ **Waiting Too Long** – The best time for sleepy, curled-up poses is within the first **5-14 days**. After that, babies become more alert and less flexible for classic newborn shots. 

❌ **Ignoring Safety First** – Certain poses require expert handling. Balancing a baby in a prop without proper support can be risky. A trained newborn photographer ensures your baby’s safety at all times. 

❌ **Poor Lighting & Harsh Shadows** – Overhead lights or direct flashes can create unflattering shadows. Natural, soft lighting is key to capturing those dreamy newborn details. 

❌ **Overcomplicating Outfits & Props** – Simplicity is timeless. Busy patterns, oversized accessories, or uncomfortable outfits can take away from your baby’s natural beauty. 

✔️ **The Solution?** Choose a professional newborn photographer who understands how to create safe, timeless, and heartwarming portraits of your little one. 

Cherish these fleeting moments with photos you’ll treasure forever! ✨
