These Baby Photoshoots Didn't Turn Out as the Parents Expected

Holding Your Head Is Hard When Your Brain Is 10% of Your Birthweight

Want to know a little industry secret? If you come across an image like the one on the left, it's probably been edited with Photoshop. Babies at such a young age don't have the flexibility, mobility, or muscle strength to achieve that kind of pose. They can't extend their elbows enough or hold up their heads in that manner. So, what professionals often do is combine one image of a baby's hands with another image of a baby's face using Photoshop.

The image on the right shows a more realistic portrayal of what you would see if you attempted to put your child in that pose.
