photo moms who are taking their own holiday photos
$ is really thight this holiday season with a house in the works. so i want to take my own pics of DD for our holiday card...
i take relatively good pics of my dd but i dont know how to get her into good positions since shes not sitting up on her own. any suggestions on how to get her to into a good position. my only idea is to wrap the bouncy seat in a really fluffy white blanket and then maybe wrapping paper as a backdrop?
any suggestions/ ideas would be helpful thanks!

Re: photo moms who are taking their own holiday photos
Will she be old enough for the bumbo? We stuck DS in the bumbo and then wrapped a big box and stuck the bumbo in the box. I also bought a white glittery tablecloth and layed it over pillows and put him across that.
If you want, fm your email and I will send you our pics from last year!

For my DD's 1st Christmas (she was 7 months old), we sat her in the Bumbo seat and her dress was long and fluffy enough to cover it!

Re: photo moms who are taking their own holiday photos
DD was sitting on her own last Christmas. We took her to Fortunoff and stuck her in a display for a picture. I'm sure you could do the same at Hicks.

Re: photo moms who are taking their own holiday photos
I resized some of my photos so that I could post them. I wish I had the image of the card but I don't...

I use Boppy pillows for the newborns I shoot. For my own DD I used the Bumbo chair for her first Chirstmas pictures. She was 1 month old when I took these:

Re: photo moms who are taking their own holiday photos
Get a cheap stocking, cut the foot off, get a white glove stick your gloved hand through your cut stocking... Inexpensive and VERY cute (I used to do this all the time while working in a studio) :)
Example :)

Re: photo moms who are taking their own holiday photos
i took some this morning. threw a white fluffy blanket in a basket and snapped away. 
Who knows if I'll use them for anything, but this was just my first attempt.

I did something like this. I took big rubermaid crates, stacked two on top of each other. Covered their carseat with a blanket and put them in a stocking in front of the Christmas Tree
You can't see the lights in this pic but it is the only one I have on this computer

Re: photo moms who are taking their own holiday photos
We used the bumbo.
But you could lay them flat on a nice blanket/fabric and prop with pillows or a boppy.
