New Baby Images

Choosing a newborn photographer, it’s near impossible to go through your socials without seeing beautiful new baby images. Many photos you see look impossible because they are – an experienced photographer knows how to achieve certain looks without compromising on comfort/safety. Here’s some tips to help choose a photographer.

Safety - A professional newborn photographer will have done training/workshops to learn the safest methods of posing. They should never have your baby supporting the weight of their own head or suspended in a prop. Ask if they have insurance specific to newborn photography & if their vaccinations are up-to-date.

Style - Photographers develop different styles. See who captures the smaller details & expressions. Decide if you want a posed session or something more lifestyle or documentary. When browsing photographers, see if the images are sharp, in focus & are colours correct?

Budget - Everyone has a budget, though bear in mind, you usually get what you pay for. Enquire if there is a separate session fee & what’s included in your package. Do you get all images or a certain amount, & do you get to choose which ones? Professional studios often provide gowns for expectant mums & have everything you need for your baby’s session. -By
