Gold Coast Maternity + Newborn + Cake Smash Photographer
A New Parents Guide to Newborn Photos
As you welcome your newborn baby into the world, everything that you do will immediately be about them.
And soon, you won’t even realize that your once little angel is now a grown-up child.
To help you keep your little child’s precious moments frozen in time, the best way to do it is to have your newborn photoshoot.
This way you can keep your newborn’s first moments in this world, and be captured with beautiful and intimate photographs.
However, being a parent is not that easy, especially if you are a first-time parent. So to loosen up your nerves and help you prepare for your upcoming newborn photoshoot, here’s a guide that can help you.
When Is The Best Time For A Newborn Photoshoot?
You can take your newborn photoshoot anytime you want.
However, you have to take note that as your baby grows older, it would become harder for the photographer to take newborn shots as your baby would be more alert and fussy.
We suggest taking your newborn photoshoot during your baby’s first 14 days. This is the time when newborn babies are still in their sleepy state and it would be much easier for your photographer to take those cute little tucked up poses.
So if you want to have a successful and smooth-running newborn photo session, have your photoshoot during your baby’s first two weeks.
Choose The Right Photographer
Professional photographers will know what to do during newborn photoshoots. They know what angles and poses would be best for your newborn baby. Aside from that, they would also know the safety precautions everyone should remember during the photo session. Moreover, the right photographer can easily make parents, especially new parents, relax throughout the photoshoot. Make sure to work with a photographer that you can easily be comfortable with.
A good photographer knows how to assure the parents that they are handling the baby with extra care and safety.
Communicate Well With Your Photographer
We know how overwhelming newborn photo shoots are, especially if you see other people holding your precious little child. We would like to remind you not to stress before the session because it can affect your mood – which will also affect your baby’s mood.
Communicate with your photographer and always speak to them if you are unsure of anything as they’re more than happy to help you.
Your photographer is an expert in this field so they know what’s best for you and your baby.
Think About A Concept
Do you have a dream concept for your newborn photo shoot? Is there something you want to use as a prop during the session? If you have something specific in mind, let your photographer know so that they can make sure they provide that for you - we don't want anyone to be disappointed. Your photographer wants the best for you and your newborn baby, so it’s better to be open with them with the way you want your photos to look.
Here are some newborn photoshoot concepts you can try out.
Matching Outfits
Matching outfits with your partner and your baby is also a great way to show everyone your bond as a family. Although matching outfits isn’t required, it can help you achieve a more intimate and fun photo. But if you have a concept in mind, you can always prepare outfits that would match well with your concept.
This would make it a lot easier for your photographer to capture amazing and aesthetic photos of you and your little family.
Newborn photoshoots are a great way to show everyone your family’s bonding time with each other. If you want to have those amazingly photographed newborn photos, we at Simone Elisabeth Photography can help you have wonderful and professional photos of you and your newborn together.
