20 Adorable Artistic Newborn Photos For Photoshoot Inspiration

What is it about babies that makes them so disarmingly beautiful? Is it the promise of new life and progress that comes with them? The endless possibilities that small being presents means something unbelievable.  In the words of Don Draper, protagonist of the popular series Mad Men, “We don’t know who he is yet, or what he’s gonna be. And that is a wonderful thing.” Capturing artistic newborn photos is an art.

It’s hard to capture the essence of innocence in pictures or people. Yet with babies, it is so easy. Every single photo is a perfect portrayal of purity. Is it how little they know about this world and how untouched they are by its rules and values that make them so? Perhaps the hope the image of a baby encapsulates for us just stems from the memory that we were all once so pure and untouched, with infinite possibilities ahead of us, ready to conquer the world.

Regardless of the reason why we find babies so unbelievably amazing to look at, we know simply adorable and very pleasing to the eye. So let’s take a look at some wonderful pieces of baby photography that best capture all of the above!

A baby’s life is a continuous cycle of sleep and adventure. Whenever they aren’t dreaming of white fuzzy toys and unicorns safely tucked in their blankets or their parents ‘arms, they are discovering the world piece by piece – seeing it, touching it, tasting it, smelling it.
