Five things to consider when choosing a newborn photographer
One of the most important decisions you’ll make to capture those fleeting early moments of your baby’s life. As a Gold Coast newborn photographer, I understand that every baby is unique, and so should the photo shoot that celebrates their arrival. From ensuring the utmost safety during poses to creating personalised setups that reflect your style, I provide an experience as unique as your little one. In this article, I’ll share the top 5 things to consider when selecting a newborn photographer so you can make an informed decision and cherish these memories for a lifetime.
Safty!!
There are a lot of newborn photographers, but are they trained in posing baby safety and how to use props that are suitable for your baby? Safety is my priority when working with newborn babies. When you choose the Gold Coast newborn photographer, you can be reassured that your baby is safe. I have completed training on how to pose your baby safely and select and work with props so your baby is always safe. The room temperature is continually checked throughout your session to ensure it is ideal for your baby.
Your baby is Unique
Just like us, all babies are different; some like to be naked, and some prefer to be wrapped. Some get hot quickly, and some need to stay warm. As a mum of two, I could go on for days about just how different my children are, so I understand the importance of listening to your baby because they are all so different. Not all babies go into every pose, so you must choose a photographer who follows your baby’s cues so that they are always comfortable.
Styles & setup
Where are you going to hang these images? What colours is your baby’s nursery or which ones do you love? These are some of the questions I ask my clients so that I can style and design setups they will love. As a graphic designer for the past ten years, I have a keen eye for colours that work together and how to style beautiful setups for you. My studio at Varsity Lakes on the Gold Coast has many props, outfits and wraps so your images can be styled to your liking.
Skills
What skills does your photographer have? As a graphic designer, I have a keen eye for details and style and extensive knowledge of editing software. Each photo you receive will be professionally edited and processed. I have studied photography since high school and am constantly training to keep up to date with the latest software and equipment.
the Photographer
Lastly, can you tell that your photographer is passionate about what they do? I am continually attending workshops and training because I LOVE what I do!! People spend so much on their wedding photography, but in my eyes, the day you bring a new life into the world far outweighs any other that has been or will be. This is why I am so honoured to capture these memories for you forever. As a mum of two, I have been there. I remember those sleepless nights, so you will find me warm, understanding and friendly. I am happy to share tips or tricks I have learned. I have spent many years settling newborns, babies and children, so you can be confident I will do everything possible to help your little ones feel comfortable throughout the session.
