Expecting a bundle of joy this year? Time to whip out the camera and make some memories! Here are 20 beautiful pregnancy photo ideas and inspiration for photographing your newborn baby.
Family by numbers
Announce your new addition with a bit of simple addition! If you don’t have a wall you can write on, simply pose for the photo, leaving space for the numbers and symbols. Then use editing software or an App such as Little Moments to write the text over the top. (via: Hanna Mac)
Fell asleep reading …
