Six Things to Consider When Choosing the Right Newborn Photographer for your Baby
Congratulations! If you’ve come across this blog post
it might mean that you are on your way to becoming a parent! It’s such a great
feeling. Now that you’ve taken the pregnancy test, had your first OBGYN visit
to listen and find baby’s heartbeat, have made it through the first trimester
and are starting to let friends and family members know the good news, you
might be considering and researching newborn photographers in your area to
capture this special time for you. What should you be looking for when hiring a
newborn photographer? What questions should you ask a photographer? Well, here
are SIX things to consider when searching for the right baby photographer for
you!
Safety First!
It is so important that you find and trust a reputable
photographer in your area that you can trust with your baby’s safety!
There are so many amateur photographers out there that
want to use your baby to practice on! Many even will offer a FREE session just
so they can get the experience. While we all do start somewhere, I think it’s
so important that you hire and find someone who has the experience, knowledge,
and abilities to capture your baby SAFELY.
Style
What type of newborn session are you aiming for?
Do you want a studio photographer where you can go to
a studio and they will provide all the props, outfits and backdrops for you?
Or, do you prefer a Lifestyle Session where someone can come to the comfort of
your own home and take some natural photos of you and your family sitting in
your living room or bedroom? Make sure to look at the photographer's Website
and see if their style is a fit for what you’re envisioning.
Ratings/Reviews
It’s so important to make sure you check out the
newborn photographer’s local ratings. You can search via Google Reviews, Yelp,
and Facebook Reviews are just some examples of where you can find your local
photographers' ratings and reviews.
Location
This might be important to some people as having a
newborn you might not want to travel too far with your newborn. How far is the
photographer's studio from your home?
Is it in a safe area/location? Is the photographer’s
studio located at their home or at a business? Make sure you are comfortable
where you are going.
Type of Business
What is important to you when finding the right
newborn photographer? Does your photographer specialize in newborn photography
or do they offer all types of genres of photography such as family, children,
seniors, wedding and engagement photography? Are you looking for a full-service
photographer – someone that not only provides you with excellent service and
images but will also sit down with you to talk to you about what you’re
envisioning,
Budget
Budget is a huge factor when considering a
newborn photographer. Make sure to keep in mind that those that are higher
priced are more experienced, insured, licensed, have a full-time assistant,
will provide all the props, outfits and have high-end equipment, lighting, etc.
They are also more likely to get your images/prints, etc in a timely
professional manner.
