Parents patiently wait for nine months for arrival of their new born. When your baby is here, make sure you keep a track of each milestone in your baby’s life. To have previous moments and sweet essence of your baby’s first few days captured forever, go for a professional photographer like Eric Campbell Photography.
The below tips should be considered while preparing for a family’s photography session to make sure the baby is comfortable and calm, which will help you capture a number of poses and setups.
Temperature of the Studio: When you have a photoshoot of the family, make sure the room is at warm temperature especially when you are capturing the poses when the baby is unclothed. To make sure the room is warm for the baby, the adults should be able to feel that the room is hot.
White noise: Ensure to have a CD of ‘womb noise’, or a white noise player playing loudly in the studio while you are shooting. This is very essential to create a familiar and calming effect for everyone.
Time of the shoot: Try to work around the schedule with kids or go for mid-morning sessions if unsure.
Babies settle faster when they are clothed, so wrap the baby loosely in a wrap and you can take it off when the baby is asleep and take unclothed shots of baby.
Parents: New born babies don’t easily settle without parents, so ask the photographer to use you are the props in the shoot. You can have the parents arm stretched out and lay the baby in them or put the baby over mum’s shoulder and take pictures from behind.
Be patient: Don’t rush your baby into a photo session. Be patient under all circumstances and your baby will be in the same mood as you, so don’t get frustrated, be calm and keep your baby calm.
Prepare the kids’s wardrobe: Parents want to dress up their cute little ones in cute outfits, but while taking professional photos, avoid big logos, cartoons and other details that can be divert the attention of the photograph. While bare poses are a most, have some simple yet cute outfits picked out in advance.
While these are a few tips to get the most out of your family’s first photo session, you can’t get the perfect pictures unless you hire the right person. So, what are you waiting for? Choose Eric Campbell Photographytoday!
