Have you started a Pinterest board of adorable baby photos yet? No? Go ahead…we’ll wait.

Filing away cute baby portrait ideas that you see online is a great way to get inspired for photo shoots with your newborn. Even if you don’t pay to have professional photos done, you can still recreate some of these adorable shots with your little one using your smartphone camera (just make sure there’s no unsightly piles of laundry or dirty dishes in the background).

We’ve got a round-up of Pin-worthy newborn portrait ideas. Enjoy!
