Baby photography is fun, spontaneous and candid. By its very nature, baby photography is captured moments that can never be posed or recreated. Besides the ability to capture those brief and precious moments, your story will only be complete by capturing details and landscape along with portraits.
Looking for Newborn baby Photography Tips? You’re in the right place. Here some tips for newborn photography :
1. Capture every detail
Whether the baby is crying heartily, yawning, or sleeping peacefully, they are all important and precious because the newborn stage is so brief. A yawn of a 4-day new infant, for example, looks different than a yawn of a 4-year old child, so photograph it all!
Memorialize the details, including items in the nursery. Talk to the parents and find out what baby items are meaningful to them. Maybe the grandparent knit the blanket or the dog is considered the first-born!
2. Photograph them at home
Capturing images of the baby in his or her very first baby photography at home means every backdrop and furniture will be meaningful in the photos. It also means every session will be unique since every home looks different than the other.
3. Do the newborn photography session within the first 10 days
Technically, babies are considered “newborns” the first 3 months of birth. However, in the first 10 days, babies sleep most of the day and can more easily handle noises and movement. Though in Lifestyle Photography, newborns do not need to sleep the entire time, the session will run smoother if the baby is calm.
They also have a better chance of not having skin issues, like newborn acne, which will save you time in post-processing after the baby photography session
4. Be well-equipped
Most of the time, I confidently tell other photographers that their equipment is NOT as important as the person behind the camera when it comes to newborn baby photography. This is still true with photographing newborns, however, you do need to have equipment that performs well in various indoor conditions, such as tight spaces and low light, A wide angle prime lens and a reflector are key. You should also have a macro lens to capture detail shots of the baby.
When I arrive at a client’s home, it usually looks like I’m staying overnight because I have a roller bag and carrying case!
5. Use natural light
Flash can startle newborns. So in newborn photography we prefer to use natural lights or you can set up your artificial light with natural light
Also, when you are photographing new parents with their baby, using flash or other lighting equipment can take away from the spontaneity and natural tone of the shoot.
