Baby Shower Photography: Capturing the Day

You don't need a professional photographer. Here's how to get great shots.

Assign a Photographer

Ask one guest to be the designated photographer. Give them a shot list. Don't make the host do it.

Shot List

• Decorations before guests arrive
• Guest of honor arriving
• Candid moments during mingling
• Games being played
• Each gift being opened (for thank-you cards)
• Group photo
• Cake cutting
• Guest of honor with host(s)

Photo Tips

• Natural lighting is best
• Face windows, don't have windows behind subjects
• Take lots of photos (you'll delete 80%)
• Get down to baby-bump level for flattering angles

Sharing

Create a shared Google Photos album and send the link to all guests.
