Top Inspirational Ideas For Newborn Photography Fairfax

By Donna Wright


Getting a newborn is usually an exciting time for most families. That is why most parents like to capture this memorable event by getting quality photos of their babies as soon as possible, after they have been born. Photographing a new born is usually different and more challenging than other types of photography. Here are some newborn photography Fairfax tips that you can use to ensure that everything goes well and that you get good pictures.

Choose between having a session at the studio or having a session at your home or some other place. While it may be cheaper to have the session at a studio, most new mums might find it convenient to have the photographer go over to their homes. This can provide a great environment for posing the baby. Keep in mind that you need to plan to have either of these sessions in less than a month after the baby has been born.

Encourage the photographer to be well prepared before the session starts. This includes having all the necessary equipment that they need. This will reduce wastage of time, as the photographer won't have to run around looking for something in the middle of the session. It is also important that the professional tells you what you need to prepare for the session. This will give you ample time to find everything that you need and set up beforehand.

Before the session starts, everyone should have something to eat. This is because most sessions last for quite a while and if you do not eat before you start, chances are that you may have to stop the event mid way, so that you can eat something. It may be helpful to have some snacks around, so that everyone can have a snack when the baby takes a break to be fed or for a diaper change. This will prevent everyone from trying to hurry through the session, so that they can leave to go and eat.

Go with the flow of the baby. Don't try to force the baby into some poses if it is not working. You can instead choose to find opportune moments to have the baby photographed as they carry out their natural movements, such as yawning, sleeping and stretching.

Mums should also try and be included in the photos as well. This is because most mums are the ones who end up taking photos of their babies with other family members or friends and they end up not being included in any photos with their babies. Being included in a photo with your baby will be such a treasure in many years to come.

Make good use of props. In order not to get overwhelmed by the limitless opportunities at your disposal, plan 3 to 4 different set ups that you will use. Props can be simple, natural things found around your house, or the photographer can bring some. Just make sure to let them know what you want.

You can plan to have other people pose with the baby as well. Relational poses and sibling poses can end up being quite great. You can even plan to include the whole family in the shot. Just make sure to inform your family about this well in advance.
