A Basic Guide to Newborn Photography

Babies grow fast. They grow so fast that we get the feeling that their first birthday

comes after few months. This means that you should not waste your time and take

photos immediately. The first weeks and months in their lives are very interesting

and this is also the period when babies “allow” to be positioned in any way we want. If you want to get high-quality photos then you should definitely hire a

professional specialized in newborn photography.

So, first of all you need to find a professional photographer. Before you hire

someone make sure to check their portfolio. You need a professional who knows

what they are doing and by checking their portfolio you can certainly determine

whether they are good or not. The easiest way to do this is to check their websites

and look for the photos they have posted there. In this way you will find out

whether you like their style or not. Experienced photographers certainly know how

to take good photos in different style – portraits, black and white, HDR or even

time lapse photography. Make sure to check all the available styles. In addition,

feel free to ask about the price and how many photos you will get at certain price.

According to some experts, the best photo session with your lovely newborn can

be made in the first ten days. This is the period when you can still notice their

sleepy, adorable and wrinkly look. In other words, you will have to choose the

photographer few weeks before you give birth. Of course, the best time of the day

is when the baby is asleep or before the baby falls asleep. This won’t be a problem because babies sleep a lot in this period. Taking photos when the baby sleeps is

much easier and if you won’t to keep the baby sleepy or asleep make sure that the

room temperature is slightly above normal (not very hot of course). Babies are

cute after these ten days too, so in case you’ve missed to take professional photos then you can still take photos in which you and your baby will look amazing.

Remember that the task is not finished when the photo session is over. After that,

you will need to choose the photos you want. Perform this procedure right away

because the faster you make the choice the sooner you will get the photos.

Although we are living in a digital age it is always a good idea to have your photos

printed out. This means that you will have them in two forms and you won’t have to worry about losing them. There is something about photo albums that makes them

more interesting and natural. It is nice to see people gathered around an album

commenting photos.
