A Guide To Baby Photography Melbourne

By Nora Jennings


Photographing infants is important because it allows parents to capture the moments that they always want to remember. The ideal age to photograph a newborn is when he or she is 5 to 12 days old. Newborns spend a lot of time sleeping and they also curl up to pleasant poses in props like buckets. When they attain the age of two weeks, babies undergo a growth spurt and they begin stretching their hands and legs.

Parents can choose to photograph their infant themselves by simply pointing the camera, getting the angles they want and taking shots. However, to get the best results with baby photography, Melbourne dwellers should hire a professional photographer. By hiring professionals who specialize in baby photography Melbourne inhabitants can obtain photos that show texture, have mood and create feeling.

The photographs that professional photographers take also engage the senses. Such photos capture the appealing facial expressions of an infant. Infants grow up quickly and by using the services of a professional baby photographer, it is possible to create a visual memory book that shows the way your child looked when he or she started to roll over, crawl, walk or sit among other actions.

You can create a multi frame display of the milestone moments of your infant or come up with a milestone album that can be used with a baby book. To have your newborn photographed, it is important to book your session way in advance such as during your second or third trimester. This will ensure that you will not miss out on capturing the special portraits of your newborn.

In most cases, studio sessions last for three to four hours. Typically individual photographs of the infant are taken after which the portraits of the newborn with his or her parents are taken. You will spend some time comforting your infant or feeding him or her to make him or her sleepy or happy during the photography session. Newborns are usually photographed naked in order to capture their tininess.

People who want their newborn to be photographed while clothed should buy well fitting clothes for him or her. It is appropriate for parents to carry items like extra diapers, wipes, formula if they are not breastfeeding and special blankets of toys they wish to be included in the photos. They should also carry extra clothes for themselves if their newborn will be photographed nude.

Parents can keep their infant comfortable during a photo session by ensuring that the room is warm. They can ether turn up the heating system in a room of place a space heater close to the baby. Playing soft music or placing a device that produces white noise in the room is also wise because it will help keep the infant calm. Parents should not force the baby to pose in an uncomfortable position.

The styles and levels of expertise of photographers who offer their services in Melbourne differ. In order to find the most suitable photographer, parents should consider if they like the lighting, props, poses and position that a professional uses. They should carefully examine the portfolio of the infant photographer to gauge the type of photographs that he or she shoots.
