When welcoming a new addition to the family, capturing precious moments through newborn portraits is a beautiful way to cherish those memories forever. Before choosing a photographer for your baby's photoshoot, here are some important questions to ask:

1. Experience: Inquire about the photographer's experience with newborn photography. Ask how many newborn sessions they have done and if they have any special training in handling newborns.
2. Safety: Safety is paramount when it comes to newborn photography. Ask the photographer about their safety protocols during the session to ensure the baby is handled with care at all times.
3. Style: Discuss the photographer's style and see if it aligns with your vision for the portraits. Whether you prefer posed images or a more natural approach, make sure the photographer can deliver the aesthetic you desire.
4. Timing: Newborns change quickly, so it's important to schedule the photoshoot within the first two weeks of birth to capture their tiny features and sleepiness.
5. Preparation: Prepare for the session by feeding the baby beforehand to keep them content and sleepy during the shoot. Bring along any special props or outfits you would like to incorporate.

During the photoshoot, remember these tips to ensure a successful session:

1. Keep the baby comfortable: Maintain a warm and soothing environment to help the baby feel calm and sleepy throughout the session.
2. Be patient: Newborns can be unpredictable, so be patient if the baby needs breaks or if they are fussy during the shoot.
3. Capture details: Focus on capturing the baby's tiny features such as their fingers, toes, and eyelashes to create timeless portraits.

With these tips and questions in mind, you can trust that your newborn's portraits will be a beautiful and cherished memento of this precious time in your family's life.  Contact my portrait studio to book your baby's session now!
