Power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z have shared the first photos of their baby, Blue Ivy Carter, online — bypassing glossy magazine deals to surprise fans for free.

The intimate snaps were posted on the pair's Tumblr blog, aptly titled 'Hello Blue Ivy Carter'.

Beyoncé is seen cradling one-month-old Blue and beaming for the camera while in another shot, Jay-Z dwarfs the tiny baby bundle.

The photos were accompanied by a handwritten message which said: "Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. The Carter Family."

There are also close ups of the baby, one shows her sleeping while in the other, she is looking slightly off-camera .

Beyoncé is already back in the public eye, making her first appearance since the January 7 birth last week.

A huge blue ring was spotted on her finger and it is thought to be a present from Jay-Z, in honour of their daughter's name.
