Tips For Choosing Newborn Photographer Melbourne Parents Will Find Useful

By Elsa Noel


Newborn photography is fairly new form of art in the photography industry. Not long ago, parents were choosing to have their baby first photo sessions when they were between two to three months old. This has since changed and newborn photos are now taken as early as one week after birth. However, the absolute best time for taking these photos is usually between five to ten days since your child will still be in that very sleepy state and also tend to mimic the poses they held while still in the womb. Timing aside, you will also have to choose a good photographer if you want to have quality photos. When looking for newborn photographer Melbourne residents should always adhere to the tips discussed below.

One of the first steps in finding a good cameraman for your family is to look at his website and online portfolio. Any professional cameraman will have a well designed website loaded with lots of his past photographs and information that should help you in your search. The photographers photography style is also important. This should be in sync with your own style.

Children are usually very hard to handle. What these means is that any cameraman who is not experienced when it comes to dealing with kids will not get the best poses out of them. An ideal newborn photographer would be one with at least ten years of active practice.

Price is another important factor. Of course this will vary from one cameraman to the other and that is why it is always important to comparison shop. Comparison shopping should not however be taken to mean that you should look for the cheapest cameraman in Melbourne. If anything, you should try to avoid photographers whose charges are suspiciously low.

While it may not be a requirement for photographers to be licensed before they commence their practice, it is always a good idea to hire one who is licensed. Just the fact that a cameraman has decided to acquire this important is always a sign that he is concerned with the quality of services his clients get. Apart from the license, your cameraman of choice should also be insured just in case of an accident during his work.

Compatibility is also very crucial. Even though you are choosing a newborn cameraman, it is important that you as the parent get along with him well. This will allow for effective communication between the two of you which can only translate to high quality photographs.

It is usually very hectic to travel long distance with newborn babies. Because of this, you should always give preference to photographers who are open to shooting in your home. If you have to travel to the studio, it should just be nearby.

With the above tips in mind, finding a good newborn photographer should not always prove to be such a hectic task. It is also advisable that you start the search early enough. Do not wait until your baby is born or just about to be born to start running up and down in search of photographers to engage.
