Things You 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.

Professional photographers also shoot photographs that engage the senses. Parents will always remember the facial expressions of their infant vividly. Many changes take place during the first years of the life of an infant. Professional photographers can help parents create visual memory books that immortalize the manner in which their child looked when he or she learned to sit, roll over, walk or crawl among other things.

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.

In most cases, studio sessions last for three to four hours. Typically individual photographs of the infant are taken after which the portraits of the newborn with his or her parents are taken. You will spend some time comforting your infant or feeding him or her to make him or her sleepy or happy during the photography session. Newborns are usually photographed naked in order to capture their tininess.

If you wish to have your newborn photographed while wearing clothes, make sure that you get clothes that fit him or her well. It is wise to bring items like pacifiers, extra diapers, formula, wipes and special toys or blankets that you would like to be included in the photographs. You should also bring a change of clothes for yourself if your newborn will be photographed naked.

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.
