Some mom-baby pictures have withstood the test of time and continue to be a big hit. And if any mother out there is struggling to get a good snap with their kids, they can turn to these tried and tested poses.

Photography might seem like an arduous task for many moms, but these classic poses are also very simple ones which can be clicked even without any professional help. If you do get professional help, don’t turn it down.

So try these poses which will be the defining moment of your motherhood:

Holding a newborn in your palms

That is a classic pose which never goes out of fashion. It gives a relative notion of the size of the infant and looks super-cute. The mother can either choose to be in the photo, or she can hold her arms outstretched so that only her hands are in the frame. This pose works best when the baby is asleep.

Sleeping

Mommy and baby peacefully sleeping is the most serene photo to look at. It should not even come in the ‘pose’ category, since it is a very natural routine of the day. Get a good angle though, you don’t want a messy room (as is the case when there is a baby around) to ruin the frame.

Reading or playing

Mothers usually start reading to their child quite early, in the hope that their little ones will pick up words and expressions. This activity is a landmine of great pictures, as expressions of mother and the baby changes all the time.

Out in the park

A classic pose is the “lying down in the lawn” pose. The picture usually looks like this --- the heads of the mother, the kid (or kids) and the father usually occupy the center of the frame, while their bodies head out in different directions.

Cuddly baby

Mothers love to cuddle up with their babies, and enjoy it maybe a notch more than the babies do. It’s a natural instinct and is a source of the most candid pictures. Outdoor lighting would help a lot.
