Newborn Photography Fairfax Tips For The Best Shoot

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.

You can have different types of sessions. The type that you choose will depend on your preferences. The most common sessions include studio sessions and real life sessions. For studio sessions, you have to organize to go the photographer's studio, while for real life sessions, the photographer can come to where you are. Both of these sessions should ideally be held within the first few weeks after birth.

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.

Try and capture some natural movements of the baby. This doesn't have to have been planned out. They can be spontaneous shots taken while the baby has not been posed. This can result in some great, natural looking photos.

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.

Include other people in the photo as well. This can be siblings or parents. Since it may be hard to set this up at the last minute, let everyone you want in the photo be informed in advance, so that they can be psychologically prepared. They may also need to prepare what to wear and how to pose with the baby.
