Newborns are absolutely stunning – so new, yet at the same time so timeless and wise. It’s incredible to think of the journey that a new baby takes to get to us, and just how perfect he or she is when birthing day arrives. These are some of my favorite photos of newborns – perfect to look at to help understand the elegant design and wisdom of nature.
Of course, these newborn pictures are also perfect for getting an oxytocin boost during pregnancy. Think of your own precious new baby and use these pictures to image what it will be like holding him or her. Boosting oxytocin during your pregnancy means a smoother, safe birth for you and your baby.
Not pregnant? These pics are still sure to make your heart melt – and maybe make you want another 😉 Enjoy!
This beautiful newborn shows just how tiny a brand new baby is, and how dependent your little one is on you!
Maybe the “experts” say it’s gas, but I think these little guys and gals really do smile – fleeting grins here and there that make you wish you could know what’s going on inside that little head!
This reminds me of what Carla Hartley says is “there you are!” This baby is engaged and awake, ready to interact – baby wants you more than anything else.
Another alert newborn. So many pictures of newbies have sleeping babies – it’s nice to see somebody looking so alert (and so contemplative – maybe wondering what’s going on in this big world?!)
Timeless capture of a newborn yawn!
Just love this one – sweet baby with a knitted cap and a matching lovey. Do you think this one will be treasured?
This is a really beautiful shot. I love the driftwood and the fleece pad under the baby. Very classic and natural, really well suited to a newborn photo shoot!
This sweet babe is just so close to perfection it’s breathtaking!
Love this precious baby girl – she’s so beautiful!!!
Great outdoor photo! It makes me think of classic nursery rhymes. Lots of old-fashioned, timeless goodness!
Precious first moment – the big weigh-in! How much will your little one weigh. Hopefully this babe has had plenty of time with mama, but I really do love the scale pictures 🙂
This picture is enough to give anyone an oxytocin rush. What a beautiful newborn grin!
Sweet, nestled down baby sleeping. I wish I could have such innocent sleep time!
A brand new baby boy. Lots of hopes and dreams for a little man captured in this moment!
Gorgeous and innocent baby girl. I love these little hats – a little snug bug!
Another newborn smile for you! And sweet little newborn toes too 🙂
Another beautiful baby girl in a crocheted hat. You can see the faintest little strawberry marks on her forehead too – precious little birthmark that fades so quickly but I love the hints of it in photos.
Aww here’s another alert baby and such a beautiful little grin! It’s not often you see so much expression on a newborn’s face!
Pretty purple stocking cap on an even prettier little baby!
I really love this picture!! Love the hat, love the matching pants, love the set-up for the shot. This one makes me want another on just to get a pic like this one!!
So sweet, all wrapped up in the softest muslin for Mama!
Sweet baby smooth skin, precious little one
Another newborn close to perfection!
Look at those wide eyes (not to mention that adorable hat) – such a gorgeous little one!!
Classic newborn on white and wrapped in white muslin. Just so sweet!
This little guy is so dapper – a true little man. Great detailing on his clothing and it looks so soft, just really compliments him 🙂
This evokes an image of how this little one curled in the womb. Lovely to have them on the outside, and how quickly it all really goes <3
Brand new – just gorgeous!!
A snapshot of the golden hour. Newborn and mama should be just like this – skin-to-skin with nobody poking or prodding, just giving you a chance to get to know your baby.. and your baby a chance to get to know your!
One final stunning newborn for your viewing pleasure!
