Baby Safety
Being a newborn photographer is one of the greatest jobs in the world. And being able to hold and cuddle sweet little miracles every day is heaven. Baby safety is always our number one priority. Everything we do, including beanbag poses, handheld poses, and even prop shots are done with safety in mind, no matter what!
Age Matters
The age of the babies can sometimes make a difference in what type of poses you are able to position them in and whether they will like it or not. All babies are different, and it’s not to say that one baby will be easier to pose over another one merely based upon age, but generally speaking, the age of the baby can dictate how the session will run.
Younger babies tend to go into certain curly poses much easier than older babies and don’t mind much about having their clothes off if they are kept warm.
Babies Younger than Two Weeks
Typically, we schedule all newborn sessions between five and ten days after birth. Although we will schedule newborns at any age, we strongly encourage parents to schedule sessions when babies are at least under two weeks of age. At this age, they are more likely to curl up in “womb-like” poses, stay asleep longer, don’t mind being unclothed, and usually have their feeding schedules set to at least every two hours.
Babies Older than Two Weeks
On occasion, when the baby is older than two weeks, they might not curl up as easily or like their clothes off. When we have a session with an older baby, we’ll need to focus more on images of the baby dressed, awake, nicely tucked in a basket, or handheld shots.
