2. Find the best location.

Your location will serve as the backdrop of your photos, so be sure to choose a place that’s comfy and stylish! If you prefer shooting indoors, you can shoot in a pretty corner at your house, or even inside a restaurant that has artsy interiors! And if you’re the sporty or adventurous type, you can even shoot at your neighborhood park!

We’re sure you’re looking forward to that selfie with your newborn. But since he or she is still in your tummy, why not use your ultrasound photos for the shoot? It will look pretty awesome!
