Where To Find A Professional Newborn Photographer Melbourne

By Jeannie Chapman


Having a child is a wondrous event that provides a lifetime of memories. And while you'll have plenty of cell phone camera photos of your new baby, there's nothing like having professional photos done. That means finding a newborn photographer Melbourne to get things done right. You won't regret the decision of having your images done by an experienced pro who knows how to get the best shots.

Having high quality equipment is only a small part of taking great photographs. An experienced professional will make sure the scene is lit correctly, the background fits and the pose is perfect. They will also know how to capture that perfect look, even if the baby's not in the perfect mood that day. This is the real benefit of hiring a newborn photographers Melbourne.

You have a few choices when it comes to background and setting. Many photographers will come to your home and shoot both inside and outside. This will give you a number of different options when it comes to choosing your favorites. Professional photographers may also recommend an outside location such as a park to shoot. This another benefit of using a professional.

Shooting photos in the studio is also an option. This will give you more choice over backgrounds and props. It also means the lighting will be better controlled. A popular trend is to dress the newborn in a furry and fun costume. You've probably seen some portraits with babies in dragon suits, dressed as vegetables and fruits and many other things. They'll have a number of props to work with too.

A quick internet search will provide you with a list of local professionals. While you're online check out their portfolios, as virtually all will have a website. Obviously look at the overall quality and approach, but also note how many actual newborns you see. Many claim to do newborns, but it may in fact only make up a small percentage of their business.

Once you've narrowed things down to about three, contact them to set up a phone or in-person interview. This is an important step. Photography is an intimate art so you need to be comfortable with the person you choose. If you don't feel it, move on to the next candidate. It can really make all the difference in the final output.

Of course pricing is an important aspect of the interview. Don't be timid about asking about the session price and printing prices. Some photographers will allow you to simply buy the digital files and do the printing yourself. You'll pay a bit more for the session, but if you plan to print a lot of copies, this may be the least expensive way to do things. Also ask about retouching experience. No matter how beautiful your baby, blemishes and such will likely always show up, so retouching experience is important.

Having a newborn in the home is a wonderful time. Capture those moments properly with a newborn photographer Melbourne. They will bring a wealth of experience and so you'll end up with much better photos then what you could do yourself. Even if Uncle Bob has a great camera, you'll be glad you went with a professional to shoot your newborns first real portrait.
