What are some ways to take baby pictures in a hospital?

Ways to take baby pictures in a hospital include photographing precious moments, such as when the baby is first seen and held by the mother, and documenting the baby's firsts, such as the first bath. Other photos to take are those in the nursery and hospital room.

To take great newborn photos in the hospital, try to maximize natural lighting, and shoot mainly from above to avoid unflattering angles and background distractions. Keep from posing or moving the baby around, and instead take pictures from various angles and by zooming in and out. Finally, avoid photographing the baby with a pacifier in the mouth as it covers up his face, resulting in a bad photo.
