What Parents Need To Know About Baby Photography Melbourne

By Nora Jennings


Photographs of babies are important because they capture moments that you will always want to remember. Ideally, you should photograph a newborn five to twelve days after birth. When infants are that young, they spend lots of time sleeping and they curl up to appealing poses in props such as buckets. After two weeks, infants go through a growth spurt and start stretching their legs and arms.

You can photograph your baby yourself by just pointing the camera, getting the angle you want and shooting. However, it is appropriate to hire a professional photographer. By using the services of a professional who specializes in baby photography Melbourne residents can get high quality pictures of their infant. A professional can capture photos that have mood, create feeling and show texture.

The photographs that professional photographers take also engage the senses. Such photos capture the appealing facial expressions of an infant. Infants grow up quickly and by using the services of a professional baby photographer, it is possible to create a visual memory book that shows the way your child looked when he or she started to roll over, crawl, walk or sit among other actions.

Parents can develop a multi frame display of the stages of development of their infant or create a child progress album that can be utilized alongside a baby book. Women who are planning to have their newborn photographed should book their sessions in advance. This could be as early as their second or third trimester so that they will not miss out on taking special portraits of their infant.

Studio photography sessions are usually completed within a period of 3 to 4 hours. During a studio session, photographers usually take individual portraits of the baby and then take portraits of the infant with other family members. Parents usually spend some time during a photo session comforting or feeding an infant to ensure that he or she remains in a good mood or sleepy. Newborn babies are usually photographed nude in order to capture their tiny bodily features.

People who want their newborn to be photographed while clothed should buy well fitting clothes for him or her. It is appropriate for parents to carry items like extra diapers, wipes, formula if they are not breastfeeding and special blankets of toys they wish to be included in the photos. They should also carry extra clothes for themselves if their newborn will be photographed nude.

To ensure that your infant remains comfortable during the photo session, make sure that the room is warm. You can place space heater next to your infant or keep the heat turned up. It is also wise to play soft music or place something that produces white noise in the room to keep your infant calm. Do not force your infant into a pose that he or she is not comfortable in.

There are many photographers in Melbourne and they have different levels of expertise and different styles. To find the right photographer, you should consider if you like the props, lighting, positions and poses that he or she uses. Look at the portfolio of the professional to see the kind of baby photos that he or she has taken in the past.
