How To Create The Perfect Baby Book

They don’t stay tiny forever. Capture all of your baby’s firsts and remember how adorable they once were with lovely, high-quality photo books.

A great baby book must capture the sense of wonder and blessedness that comes with having a new child in the home. It should mark milestones and inspire an appreciation for the little one’s earliest discoveries and triumphs. Here are our top photo book ideas for you:

Origin Story

One of the best ways to commence a new baby photo book is to start at the very beginning. Share magical photos from Mum and Dad’s love story. Tell the tale of planning for the baby, and proud pregnancy moments all the way up until the big day!

Peekaboo!

An ultrasound picture is Mum and Dad’s first glimpse of their precious little one and this definitely merits its own page in a baby photo book! You can use the ultrasound picture as the centrepiece and surround it with hospital visits from loved ones and friends.

Party Time!

The baby shower and/or gender reveal party is a highlight in the lead-up to the due date; it deserves a two-page spread in your book, at the very least! Pro tip: during the shower, assign someone as the official photo/video taker so you can truly kick back and be present in the moment. Remember to create your personalised baby shower invites too!

The Main Event

If you’re comfortable with the idea, document your trip to the hospital, labour and, most importantly, the first time you get to hold your little one. What did your birth plan say? What was the name of the midwife? Think ahead, capture every major moment and pay tribute to every important person you can think of! Create a lasting memory of the journey your newborn has had – a photo book of baby firsts you can look back on for years to come!

New Parents

When there are tough photo decisions to make, opt for the ones that include Mum and Dad in the frame. Milestones are key in your photo book. A series of shots of Mum feeding or Dad cradling the baby could lovingly commemorate their adaptation to their new roles as proud mother and father. Read our Baby Milestone Photo Blog to inspire your photo ops.

Around the World
