Tips for Taking Your Baby’s Passport Photo

Getting your baby’s passport photo right can be tricky — but not impossible!
Here are a few quick tips:
🍼 Use a plain white or off-white background.
📸 Have your baby lying flat on a light sheet or in a car seat with a white cover.
😐 Make sure your baby’s eyes are open and face is fully visible (no hands or toys).

Avoid filters or editing — passport photos must be natural and unaltered.
