I want to share my story about how AI turned my DIY newborn photo disasters into a beautiful expensive-looking photoshoot. Coming from a big Latina family, there’s always a lot of pressure to share adorable baby photos. And it can get competitive amongst the mamas — who can send the best most elaborate baby photos. But doing it myself wasn’t as easy as I thought.
The DIY Newborn Photo Struggles
When my little one was born, I was determined to take my own newborn photos. I set up a mini studio in my living room with a variety of props and a hanging studio backdrop. Here’s what went wrong:
Timing Troubles: My baby’s sleep schedule was unpredictable, and he always seemed to be awake and cranky during my planned photoshoots. Or he’d be asleep but I was too scared to pose him in case I woke him up.
Props and Poses: The props I used didn’t quite fit thematically, and they looked cheap in comparison to the fancy Pinterest inspiration I was referencing. My attempts at cute poses resulted in awkward and uncomfortable positions for my baby.
Safety Concerns: I was constantly worried about my baby’s safety, making it hard to relax and take good photos. I didn’t have any help so there was no one to guard my baby from rolling off of the props or to support his neck if I posed him in a weird way.
Uncooperative Siblings: My older kids wanted to help, but their excitement often disrupted the setup and made it even harder to get a good shot.
After several failed attempts, I felt overwhelmed. I wanted to share beautiful photos with my family but couldn’t afford a professional photoshoot.
Trying Honeycomb’s AI Photography
A friend suggested trying Honeycomb’s AI newborn photography service. I was skeptical but decided to give it a try. The process was simple: I uploaded a few photos of my baby’s face, and the AI did the rest. I was stunned!
The AI transformed my everyday snapshots into professional-quality photos. Here’s why I loved it:
Amazing Props: The AI added lovely touches like woven baskets, textured blankets, soft lighting and background props that I couldn’t have managed myself. It looked so expensive in comparison to my cheap DIY photo props.
Easy: The website was incredibly easy to use, even for someone who isn’t tech-savvy, so it took me so little time to figure out.
Time-Saving: The AI processed the photos quickly, allowing me to share them with my eager family almost instantly.
Quality: The quality of the outputs was incredible! Even if I got a good DIY shot, I don’t have the skills or eye to edit the lighting or add filters and presets. The AI photos turned out much more successful than anything I could achieve.
Thanks to Honeycomb, I now have beautiful photos to share with my big family. Everyone is thrilled with how the pictures turned out, and I’ve been recommending the service to all my mom friends. It turned my frustrating attempts into a joyful experience and gave me beautiful photos that I will cherish forever!
