Frequently asked questions
Can my baby's eyes be closed?
For newborns under 6 months, slightly closed eyes are usually accepted. For older babies, eyes must be open and looking forward.
Can I hold my baby for the photo?
Hands and arms cannot appear in the photo. Place the baby on a plain white sheet and shoot from above, or use a white car-seat cover.
What if my baby won't stop moving?
Take many shots in burst mode and pick the sharpest one. Our AI tolerates minor angles and will straighten the photo for you.
Is a smile allowed?
Officially the expression should be neutral, but a slight natural expression for infants is generally accepted.
