How To Find A Professional Newborn Photographer Melbourne

By Jeannie Chapman


Having a newborn at home is a special experience. It seems like everything they do is perfect (well, not everything). That's why it is important to capture those first weeks of life with a professional newborn photographer Melbourne. Cell phone snaps only go so far. Do things right and hire someone who has the equipment and knowhow to do it right.

Even if you have a high-quality digital camera, having a professional shoot your pictures makes a huge difference. Image quality is only a small part of the equation. To have a photo that is truly memorable, the lighting, pose and background all need to be right. And after the photo shoot your newborn photographer Melbourne will know how to retouch things to ensure things look perfect.

You have a few choices when it comes to background and setting. Many photographers will come to your home and shoot both inside and outside. This will give you a number of different options when it comes to choosing your favorites. Professional photographers may also recommend an outside location such as a park to shoot. This another benefit of using a professional.

Some prefer to work in a studio. This gives them more control over lighting and generally means you will have more background choices. A new trend is dressing up the baby in fun and colorful costumes. Everything from vegetables to animals is possible. They will also have a number of props to choose from allowing you to get the look and feel you want.

So where do you go to find a newborn photographers Melbourne? Most turn to the internet. This is a good route as you'll be able to quickly find who is nearby, but also you'll be able to check out examples of their work online. Check to see if they do in fact specialize in newborns. Babies require special skills so make sure they have plenty of experience. If the majority of their work isn't newborns, you might want to look elsewhere.

From searching online, try and narrow your choices down to three or so. Then you'll want to talk to each one, in person if possible. It is so important that you feel comfortable with the photographer. Even though most of the shots will likely be of baby, you'll want to get some family shots done too. If you don't feel a connection with the photographer it will come through in the photos. Take the time to meet and be diligent about asking about their experience and background.

In your discussion cover pricing. Don't wait until you've made your appointment. Usually photographers work one of two ways. They charge for the session and then they provide you with the digital files (some retouching is generally included) and you are responsible for final printing. This can be a better value if you are planning to print a lot of photos or if you have something special in mind (like a poster). Don't forget to ask about retouching. Ask what is included and about their experience.

Documenting your baby in the first weeks of life will provide a cherished keepsake and memory of those times. Don't rely on dad or a friend for this special moment. The moments go by fast so be sure to capture them the best way you can. Do it right and find a good newborn photographer Melbourne.
