How to make newborn photo shoot look great?

Question: How to make newborn photo shoot look great!?

I want to do my own pictures for my baby's birth announcements!. Could you give me some good tips!? I'm thinking of putting up a plain background and having daddy hold him is his hand (you know, that popular dad's hand pose) and then maybe put him in a little basket with a bow on it!. Any more pose ideas and other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!. I'm just a regular person, not a photographer or anything so please help :-)!. Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Cloud backgrounds are always cute! and the teddy bear idea is awesome also!. try working with the lighting!. maybe go simple with the plain black background!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
