A Guide To Newborn Photography Melbourne For Parents

By Jayne Rutledge


Having your newborn baby photographed is a great decision. This stage of the life is short and by opting for newborn photography Melbourne residents will always remember the first days if their infant in this world. To get the best results, parents can hire a photographer. The two kinds of baby photography are posed or studio and lifestyle. Ideally, posed sessions should be done within the first two weeks of birth, when the infant is very sleepy.

The focus of posed photo sessions is taking shots of the baby when he or she is looking perfect, typically in wraps, blankets, headbands and hats. This session can last up to four hours with potty breaks, feeding and posing. It takes time to edit these photos because each image should go through editing software individually in order to get a polished end result.

When it comes to lifestyle photography, photographers seek to capture the baby in natural poses in the home where he or she lives. It is wise for these sessions to take place when a baby is younger than six weeks. They usually last for a period of between one and two hours. These sessions usually capture the infant accompanied by his or her parents, brothers and sisters and family pets.

To increase the chances of getting the best shots, the room where the infant photo sessions will take place should have the right amount of light and the right temperature. A photographer usually takes a variety of shots with some of them focusing on the fingers, hands, toes, feet and face of the infant. Parents should adequately prepare the room where their infant will be photographed.

To ensure that the sessions of photographing your infant go well, you should ensure that he or she is fed, burped and warm. Ideally, the room temperature in the area where your baby will be photographed should be 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. You can place a heater near the prop to keep your newborn warm and a hair dryer in the background to provide white noise that will keep your baby calm.

Since newborn babies sleep a lot, a photographer can take close up photos of the baby. He or she can capture fine hair growing on the shoulders or other areas, ears and lips. Apart from being adorable, close up shots of an infant are great when placed alongside other photos in a family photo album.

For parents who have older children, they should have them photographed with the infant first. Young children like toddlers do not have a long attention span and they may therefore get bored if they are asked to wait for their turn. Parents should let the professional complete the photo session when they are still curious and anxious to be photographed with their younger sibling.

Newborn photography seeks to capture the mannerisms and appearance of a baby who has just been born. Newborns can pose in several interesting positions and parents can get ideas about posing positions from a baby photography book. Before they start off with newborn photography Melbourne inhabitants should take some measures to ensure that their infants will be safe.
