Why Choose a Professional Newborn Photographer

 

The newborn phase is such a precious season.

The newborn phase is such a precious season. You finally get to meet and hold the baby you’ve been waiting for! It’s also a season that goes by in a blink. Your baby will only be a newborn for such a short period of time. You truly have such a short window to professionally document this newborn season which is why I believe it’s so important to trust a professional newborn photographer with this session.

There’s more to being a photographer than having a camera. A true professional photographer is constantly engaged in training to improve their craft. I’d love to share what makes a professional newborn photographer different from all other photographers. Here's why it’s important to trust one for this precious session.

3 Reasons to Trust Professional Newborn Photographer 

1. Training & Experience 
First, you’ll want to work with a newborn photographer that has experience and training that you can trust. Many newborn photographers participate in regular training and workshops to have the most up-to-date skills and latest techniques to work with their tiniest clients! I’ve been honored to learn in person from Kelly Brown and have participated in countless in-person and online newborn workshops. (If you’re wondering about new photographers, they can work as associates to build their skills!)

2. Baby-Led Posing

Newborn photographers have the training, experience, and passion for working with brand new babes. My sessions are very much baby-led meaning we go with baby’s flow. Using my training, I may gently try to pose baby, but if the baby isn’t feeling a certain pose I immediately back off and let baby show me the way. In fact, I follow these four unique moments from newborn sessions to document your sweet newborn and your family.

3. Safety

The most important reason of all is safety. For professional newborn photographers, the newborn’s safety is critical. That means never forcing poses or trying unsafe poses. This means being highly trained and sensitive to your baby’s needs.

Full-Service Newborn Photographer 

We’ve talked about how a newborn photographer is different from other photographers, but what about a full-service photographer? As I mentioned before, the newborn phase is such a beautiful but short season, so I don’t want you to miss a moment of it. That’s why it’s my goal to take everything off your plate throughout the entire process. All you need to do is tell me your vision and I handle the rest.

Full-Service Newborn Photography Includes:

  • Image Reveal & Ordering

One of my favorite parts of my job is being able to see my client's reactions. Looking at their gallery wall or turning the mages of their album is priceless. It brings me joy knowing that they can enjoy their images every day. Even better, they didn’t have to stress over displaying them in their homes.

"If I could give more stars I would! I felt completely taken care of! It's not just a photography photoshoot, but it's a whole experience!

Karen turned this time for my family into something amazing. She took all the stress away by providing beautiful dresses to choose from (there is a lot!) and coordinating them with my husband and son. She takes the smallest little details of the colour palette and makes everything flow.

To top it off I didn't have to worry about doing my hair in the morning or makeup as that was done also!

During the photoshoot (we did maternity & newborn) Karen made me feel amazing! She is so kind-hearted and so calming and definitely encouraging. Made me feel beautiful!! I did not feel stressed at all and I knew straight from the start that she would get amazing pictures! She again made everything just flow! Nothing felt pressured and it just felt so natural!

When doing our newborn photos she was so understanding about everything. She had provided wipes, diapers, burp clothes, etc! Had cute little toys and books, and crayons for my other son. Everything is taken care of! I highly recommend her!"
