Sharing milestone photos is an adorably visual way to document all the exciting changes in your baby's life. From the first smile to the first full night's sleep, we're sharing four cute ways to style the pictures that you'll want to keep forever.

01
Simple Laydowns

Simple Laydowns

Baby's firsts are exciting, so you want to have a visual representation that showcases the wins. Creating a simple laydown shares the event without being overly styled. Adding a written note card lets everyone know what he's accomplished. Using a soft rug or blanket creates a light background that doesn't compete with the items. Pop him in a cute graphic bodysuit and tiny shoes and he'll be a social media star in no time.

Chalkboard Design

Adding a drawn element makes the laydown fun. Use black paper and chalk to create a chalkboard feeling that also shares your baby's milestone. This is a really whimsical way to document your baby's growth. Pair with her favorite outfit and a pair of fringe booties to be ready for an adorable pic.

In a Picture Frame

In a Picture Frame

Using a big picture frame as the outside base for the snapshot creates an internal area for placing items sharing your baby's milestone while she is cozy in her lounger and sweater knit slippers. You can even paint the frame a special color, or go neutral with white or black.

With Milestone Printouts

Another fun way to share your baby's milestones is with printables. Have a deck of relevant graphics (like the first sign of teeth or first words) ready to go, and then position alongside baby for documenting the day.
