Expert tips that actually work!
Lay your baby on a plain white sheet or blanket. This creates the perfect white background required for passport photos.
Pro tip: Natural daylight from a window works best - avoid flash!
Wait until your baby is alert and awake. After feeding is usually a good time when they're calm but attentive.
Make sounds or use a toy above the camera to get them looking up!
For babies under 6 months, a slight smile is okay. For older babies, try to capture a neutral, relaxed expression.
Take LOTS of photos - you only need one perfect shot!
For newborns, have someone support their head from behind. You can edit out hands later using our background remover.
Baby's face must be clearly visible and centered in the frame.
No pacifiers, toys, headbands, or hats! The photo should show only your baby's face against the white background.
Even small items like bows or clips must be removed.
