For many parents, it's similar to an addiction - they simply can't stop taking those snap shots with their digital cameras his or her babies grow up. While these pictures are cute and funny, there's usually something "not quite right" about them - for example clothes scattered across the floor in the background. While those candid photos are good for the collection too, most parents end up having professional photos taken of the babies quite often.

However, just because the photographs are now being taken by a professional does not necessarily mean the process is automatically stress-free for that parents. A professional baby photo shoot can actually end up being quite stressful with no proper planning and preparation around the parents' part.

Here are 5 tips from an Atlanta Photographer that will help kids photo session go on without a glitch:

1. Deal with the newborn's schedule. Babies often photograph best after taking a nap and being well-rested. Make sure your baby receives adequate sleep the night time before a photo shoot in addition to taken a nap prior to the photo shoot if at all possible. It's hard to capture "happy" moments when babies are cranky and tired. There is nothing wrong with capturing the cranky moments, but there has to be at least several happy poses within the set.

2. Put aside adequate time and be patient. Plan ahead and don't rush the day of your baby's photo session. Additionally, be patient throughout the photo session under all circumstances. If you are flustered and frustrated, your child will probably be in that same mood as they are very sensitive and connected to their parents' emotional states.

3. Prepare the newborn's wardrobe. Every parent really wants to see their baby dressed in their cutest little outfits - but tone it down for the professional photo shoots. Solids work the best and avoid loud logos, words, cartoon characters, and other busy details that may be distracting in a photograph. Simple is good! Have a few outfits selected ahead of time for variety. Also, be sure to get a few bare poses as well - those are simply priceless.

4. Decide on props. Baby photos usually contain the baby leaning on something or having fun with something. Come prepared with ideas about what you would like to see in the photographs together with your baby. If you have some items in your own home that you want within the pictures, bring them along.

5. Pick a place for the photo shoot. Many photographers today are doing more "outside of the studio" photography sessions. There are some beautiful sights on the planet so be open-minded and choose where you want to have photos taken of your baby - in your own home, in the park, or at the lake. Take your pick - and it's done. Probably the most adorable baby photo shoots were drawn in places other than the studio so put your opinions cap on and obtain creative!

To conclude, an infant photo shoot simply requires adequate planning and preparation by the parents in order to produce flawless professional baby photographs that you can think about for a life-time.
