The Importance of Choosing A Safe Professional Newborn Photograher

Newborn photography has gained unprecedented popularity in recent times. With the availability of affordable entry-level cameras and a constant stream of inspiration on Pinterest, an increasing number of untrained photographers are offering sessions without proper licenses or training. It's crucial to recognize that not all photographers possess the necessary knowledge and skills to safely pose a baby and capture the stunning images showcased on my website.

Newborn photography requires specialized safety and posing training, a fact often overlooked by both new parents and photographers venturing into newborn sessions. When scheduling your newborn session, it is essential to choose a photographer who has received specific training in newborn posing safety, operates a legal, insured, and tax-compliant business.

Ensure that the newborn photographer you select for your precious and delicate newborn is locally licensed, insured, and well-trained in the following:

Properly weighing and securing all buckets and props to prevent them from toppling with the baby in or on them.
Correctly using posers to fill buckets and props, ensuring the baby is positioned comfortably and correctly within the prop.
Properly wrapping or swaddling a newborn for comfort, warmth, and safety at all times.
Achieving specific newborn poses designed to mimic positions in the womb, ensuring the baby is comfortable, safe, and secure.
Safely combining two or three images to create advanced poses and props.
Understanding which products are safe or unsafe for use during a newborn session.
Implementing precautions to maintain a healthy environment for the baby, including sanitizing blankets and props, maintaining the proper temperature, ensuring a clean and germ-free studio, and staying up-to-date on all immunizations.
Avoiding putting the newborn at risk for a photo, such as placing them in direct sunlight snow, using unsafe poses and props. Unfortunately, such instances occur more often than one might think.

Please do not attempt advanced or prop posing if you're undertaking a DIY newborn session at home. It's important to recognize that safety skills in newborn photography and parenting skills are two different things. Parents attempting their own DIY newborn sessions often find themselves disappointed or, worse, risking injury to their newborns. Many instances of harm to newborns have occurred when parents tried to handle their own DIY newborn sessions without the necessary expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I book my maternity session?: Maternity photography sessions are best photographed when the expecting mama is around 32 – 36 weeks unless you are pregnant with twins or multiples they may be scheduled earlier. I do offer maternity sessions in-studio or outdoors. Each setting does provide a different feel and will produce a different style of images. Maternity sessions can be photographed alone or you can choose to bring your spouse and/or any other children you may already have. As a professional maternity photographer my ultimate goal is to ensure you are left with timeless maternity portraits capturing this incredibly special time during your pregnancy.

Most of my clients put a deposit on their session late in their second trimester to secure their session. I am usually booked out a month or two in advance. I only book a limited number of maternity sessions a month and it may not be possible to squeeze you in.
When should I book my newborns photo session?: Newborn photography sessions are best photographed during the first 21 days of life when newborn babies are still sleeping deeply and easily curl up naturally into the womb like poses that so many parents fall in love with. As newborn babies begin to grow, it is not uncommon to have them become more fussy during the photo session so it’s important to be aware that older newborn sessions can take more time and do require more patience from the parents. I do only pose the babies that I photograph in poses that are natural to them and will never force a baby into a pose that they are not comfortable in. Newborn sessions are always baby led as the safety of your newborn baby is always her top priority. The majority of my newborn props and newborn outfits only fit newborn babies up to 21 days old so during older newborn baby photography sessions, I will predominately use fabric wraps and layers when photographing your newborn baby

Even though we don't know the time of a baby's grand entrance, many clients book their newborn photo session early in their 8 or 9 month of pregnancy. I keep in close contact with them to adequately gauge the approximate arrival of their baby.
When should I schedule a milestone session for my baby?: All babies develop at a different rate during there first year. Many parents wish for their babies to be photographed at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Some 6 and 12 months. That all depends on you. Most of my clients book sessions with me when their babies can sit independently on their own, a first birthday cake smash or when they begin to take their first steps.
Do you have a Maternity Client Closet Collection?: I have just recently started building my maternity closet and it is open for you to use! I also offer incentives if you decide to buy a gown and want to leave it in the maternity closet for another mama to use! Ask me about it during our consultation.
