Newborn photos—now that you’ve captured those sweet moments, what’s next? As a Fort Worth newborn photographer, I know that snapping the photos is just the beginning. Turning those precious memories into forever keepsakes is the real goal. We don’t want your beautiful images to get lost in the endless sea of digital photos (we’ve all been there, right?). Instead, let’s find some fun and meaningful ways to print and preserve them for generations to come.
Read on for 5 of my favorite ways to turn your newborn photos (or any family photos) into precious mementos.
Printing Your Newborn Photos
One of the easiest ways to preserve your newborn photos is by printing them. Whether you choose to display them on a gallery wall, frame them around the house, or add them to a photo box, it’s an essential part of the photography experience. Plus, evidence shows that displaying family photos at home has many health benefits!
When choosing a newborn photographer, look for one who offers prints through their gallery. This ensures you can order from a professional print lab. If you prefer to print on your own, your photographer can recommend a trusted company. The quality of the lab truly makes a difference!
As a Fort Worth newborn photographer, all of my clients have access to a professional print lab through their gallery. I also include prints in my photography packages because I understand how important this step is in your documenting this special chapter for your family.
Heirloom Albums
Heirloom albums are a beautiful way to showcase your newborn photos. They’re sturdy and designed to last for generations. Plus, flipping through the pages is a great way to relive those precious moments. Albums also make meaningful gifts for grandparents!

Books for Your Baby
Creating a personalized book for your baby is another fantastic idea. Babies and kids love looking through photos and buying one that is specifically kid-friendly means you don’t have to worry about fingerprints or bent corners on your favorite photos.
There are so many fun baby- and kid -friendly products for your photos. Check out a couple of my favorites:
Announcement or Holiday Cards
Using your newborn photos for announcements or holiday cards is a fun way to share your joy with friends and family. Cards can also double as keepsakes, allowing loved ones to frame them or add them to memory boxes. It’s a simple yet impactful way to showcase your baby’s first moments.

Ornaments, Calendars, and Other Gifts
Consider turning your newborn photos into ornaments, calendars, or other gifts. These items make perfect presents for family members and can brighten up your home. Below are a few of my favorite photo gifts:
