Newborn photography at home might sound great, but you have some concerns. Here’s a few things to consider as you’re deciding whether to do your newborn photo session at home or in the studio.
When a client asks about my covid procedures, it feels good to say…they’ve been in place for years, before covid even existed!
The majority of my newborn sessions happen in my studio. And if not in my studio, then at a client’s home. But, every so often, I have a family that prefers nature.
This soft little squish of a girl was a sweet as they come. What fun to have a little sister! There’s something about getting the opposite gender for number two!
My favorite way to photograph a newborn with older siblings is in a very candid and natural way. I start with letting the oldest children take turns holding the newborn, then get the younger siblings close by.
After hearing about so many newborn sessions that have been canceled, I started brainstorming. What if I could be your consultant? What if I could take my knowledge and walk you through taking your own newborn photos?
I can tell brand new parents by the way they handle a newborn. And it makes sense! Brand new babies have no neck strength. So, holding them or handing them off to someone else can feel like handling a piece of fragile glass.
Part of my job as a newborn photographer is ensuring a baby stays asleep during their photo session. Babies are best photographed sleeping because they don’t have the startle reflex that often happens while babies are awake.
Annie had gorgeous long lashes and cheeks for days. She slept like a champ and her big sister was the sweetest thing ever.
I love when newborn sessions flow perfectly and this one was one for the books. I was able to wrap Annie and photograph her in such a natural way because she was so relaxed.
This was a favorite photo session of mine for a number of reasons.
First, the family was as sweet as could be. I mean, I didn’t even have to try and big brother was cooperative and wanting to cuddle the baby. The entire family was so loving to each other, which always makes my job easy as a photographer.
