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.

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.

Prior preparation is important, so as to have a successful session. The parents, the baby and the photographer need to prepare well many days to the big event. This includes getting everything that will be needed for the session ready. Great communication between the photographer and the parents will enable this to work out and help everyone to know what is expected from them.

Make sure that everyone is well fed before the sessions starts. This is because most sessions can last for a few hours and you don't want anyone to rush because they are hungry and they want to take a break to eat. It would also be helpful if you had a couple of snacks prepared beforehand.

Use the baby as your inspiration to get some great pictures. As the baby carries out natural movements like crying, yawning or stretching, have the photographer take some shots. This may result in classic shots.

The mum should also get photographed. This is because in most instances, most mums are tired and haggard and the last thing they want is to get in the picture. However, this would be a good opportunity as both the mother and baby would treasure this photo for a long time 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.

Do not forget to have other family members pose with the baby. This can makes some really great photos. Sibling photos and parent photos are good ideas. You can also have the whole family take a photo while posing with the baby. This will create some really great memories.
