As a luxury newborn photographer here in Minneapolis, I know that capturing newborn photos is an irreplaceable experience. My goal as your newborn photographer is to not only create stunning portraits that you'll cherish forever but to do so in a way that has the utmost safety and comfort for both mother and baby. It’s crucial to ensure safety during newborn photography, which is why I take the time to make sure each shot is thoughtfully planned out ahead of time so that mother and baby can feel relaxed. As I'm sure you've heard, newborns love cozy environments, so warmth and care come into play when producing beautiful newborn photographs you'll love for years to come.
Safety First
When it comes to photographing your newborn, safety is always key. It's important to ensure that you have someone present during the photoshoot who can handle and support the baby while taking pictures. Never leave a baby unattended on any surface, including props or furniture, as this could lead to serious injury. Make sure to use plenty of padding on surfaces for extra precaution. At the mQn Photography studio or at any in home newborn sessions, you baby is never left alone.
Keep Them Comfortable
Keeping your newborn warm and comfortable is essential for any successful photoshoot session. Make sure you bring along several layers of clothing, blankets, and swaddles so that you can adjust as needed throughout the shoot. If possible, keep the room at a slightly warmer temperature than usual to help keep them from getting cold or fussy during the session. It's always best to be prepared with extra accessories if needed! At the studio we keep heaters nearby and we don't photograph babies naked they are usually warm in a swaddle or wrapped in moms arms.
Props & Poses
There are many poses available for newborn photography, but always make sure that your baby’s safety comes first by using props like bean bags and posing pillows to support them comfortably in each position. Always use natural posing rather than putting too much pressure on their bodies or limbs as they are still fragile at this age. Additionally, you can use props like hats and headbands to add an extra element of fun! Michele believes babies are beautiful just the way they are. They do not need to be posed like "froggies" or "tacos". Michele takes a baby led approach to posing so baby is always in their natural preferred position.
Newborn photography can be a beautiful experience if done safely and correctly with careful planning ahead of time. With these tips in mind, you should have no problem capturing those precious memories with ease! Remember – safety first when handling your little one during photoshoots! So go ahead and get creative – capture those moments before they’re gone!
