By Rosella Campbell


After having a baby, you may easily forget his or her first days in a whirl of feedings, visits from relatives and changing diapers. To preserve this special time in the life of your baby, you should take time to get newborn portraits. Many years from now, you will be glad that you prioritized on preserving the special newborn memories. With proper planning for newborn portraits College Station TX residents can get great photos of their baby.

One of the places where parents can have their newborn photographed is at an independent photo studio. They can also have their baby photographed in a studio at a department store. This decision should be based on their budget and the results they want to achieve. If you want to save money, you can have the portraits of your baby taken at a department store. Ideally, you should select a quiet studio that will not over stimulate your baby.

Another great option is to have the portraits of your newborn taken by a professional photographer. One way of finding a reputable photographer is asking your relatives and friends for recommendations. Calling the photography or the art department of a local college or university is the other way of finding a reputable photographer. The staff of such institutions can provide you with the contacts of good photographers.

After getting the contacts of a photographer, parents should ask about his or her style. They should also view samples of past work. College Station dwellers should also find out how the professional handles fussy infants and ask if it is possible for them to reschedule an appointment if the infant is having a rough day.

To enhance the experience of having newborn portraits taken, make a list of the shots you would like to get. Browsing through the galleries found in infant photography websites will give you an idea about the kind of photos you should get. Some of the poses that most parents like include a baby wearing a diaper only, the parents holding their baby and the baby posed while asleep. You can also have your newborn photographed with his or her siblings.

To prepare your infant for the photograph session, clothe him or her with the right clothes. In this way the infant will take the center stage in the photographs. You can opt for simple outfit that enhances the cuteness of your infant. You should avoid clothing the infant with clothes that have itchy or stiff fabric. Clothe the baby with cool or warm clothes that keep him or her comfortable.

You can schedule the portrait session during naptime if you want your newborn photographed when he or she is asleep. It is wise to feed and change your baby prior to the appointment. Infants are usually comforted by the sense of smell. If you anticipate that your infant will get upset, you can bring something like blanket with you since it smells familiar.

You should also wear comfortable clothing to the photo session. Carrying extra clothes is also essential because you can easily change your clothes if your baby spits up. Eating and resting before the photo session is also essential. You can wait patiently for the session to end if you are not hungry or tired.
