Will I feel like leaving the house when I have just had a baby?
You might not think you will but for a baby photoshoot once you do you will love it!
A baby photoshoot should be a calm and relaxing environment for new parents to escape too. It can be quite daunting leaving the house and travelling to a place that your not sure what to expect. You don’t really know the photographer and you are not quite sure how you are going to feel handing your baby over to a complete stranger. Even when I write this down it sounds a little bit scary!
A baby photography studio should have all the creature comforts one should expect to accommodate new parents and their newest addition and of course a place where siblings can chill, relax or play safely until it’s their time to shine in front of the camera. My studio is designed with this in mind. There is comfy sofa where parents have been known to fall asleep. A testament to how relaxing it is in the studio. One Daddy said I would be down here all the time just come to escape and relax! There is a baby changing station with everything you need and also tea and coffee making facilities. I always ask parents to bring themselves a little picnic so they can totally relax and eat an undisturbed snack/lunch. Something that doesn’t happen to often in the first year after baby arrives. Yes, I did say year!
As a specialist newborn baby photographer I get to meet some of the most beautiful babies when they attend their first baby photoshoot! It’s so nice meeting people at such a special time in their lives particularly when there is so much going on the world today. I get to escape for a few hours in the studio (my happy place) caught up in all the feels in the new parents beautiful baby bubble. It’s my chance to let the parents rest and let them watch me work my magic with my camera and capture unique details of little features that they will be able to look at in a photograph and remember forever. It’s worth remembering that photographs taken at your newborn baby photoshoot are keepsakes that will last forever. Not just during your lifetime but your children’s lifetime and for generations to come. I have photographs of my grandparents as children framed and hung in pride of place in my hallway. Now they were born in the early 1900’s. (When I say that I do indeed feel old!) Photographs will probably outlive any other purchase that you make in this throw away society. Photographs are our valuable piece of family history that we should treasure. The investment in a professional photoshoot is worth every penny and the result is often priceless.
I do have the best job. It’s hard work but I do love it.
