Toledo Ohio Newborn Photo Session | Froggy Pose

This is definitely one of my most requested newborn poses! It’s called the Froggy Pose and, personally, I just love it. It really shows off those pouty lips, squishy cheeks, and their tiny fingers and toes! It’s amazing that this pose is so comfortable for the baby that they just sleep right through it, right?

What most people don’t know about this pose is that it is actually a Photoshop composite. It is never safe to leave a newborn baby in this position without keeping hands on the baby at all times. So, how do I do it? First, I get baby into position (I am trained in safely achieving this—I cannot stress how important this is!). Then, I take a photo while holding babies wrists…then, I take a photo while holding the top of babies head. I bring those 2 images into Photoshop to composite them together and VOILA! We have this adorable pose!
