I had so much fun with our weekly photo project when Jackson was a newborn – it was so hard to remember to take photos of him every week, and the bigger he got the harder it was, but I’m so glad we have those photos to look back on!

There are so many fun and creative ways that you can take weekly or monthly photos of your baby, I thought it would be a fun idea to round up some ideas for how to make yours unique!

I love that they used a little toddler chair and that he’s in the same outfit each month! (Via Rachael Spiegel Photography)

Take simple photos and add little details about how milestones that week. I love the neutral colors in this one! (Via Paper and Oats)

Use a chair and a cute object to track growth over time. I always love those tiny little babies sitting up in a chair! (Via Two Little Porches)

Take a photos on the same simple backdrop each week and collage them together! This is similar to what we did with Jackson (we used the rug in his room as a backdrop). (Via Keepin’ Up With the Joneses)

Just use a simple, colorful sheet or fabric as a backdrop and snap a quick photo! As long as you use a similar style each week, it’ll look cohesive! (Via Instructables)

This blogger did month-by-month photos in the same chair until a year, then switched to yearly photos. I love that it’s in the same chair all along, how fun would those photos be to look back on?! (Via Making it Lovely)

How cute are these photos of the mom holding the baby?! This is such a fun perspective, and I LOVE these photos. (Via Simply Rosie)
