Finding a good newborn photographer can be difficult. Most of the time we know to ask about the price but what other crucial information do you need to know before you hire someone. Read to the end to find out the thing you NEED to research the MOST before you book.
- Skipping the makeup artist. Having a makeup artist for your big day is so important! After all those sleepless nights I want to give you the opportunity to feel beautiful for your pictures that are going to last forever.
- Booking way too late! You should research your photographer BEFORE you baby is born not after. Photographers book their calendars far in advance and often prefer to do newborn sessions before your baby is two weeks old. Don’t stress yourself by scrambling to book after the baby is earthside, start researching photographers a few months before your due date.
- Prioritizing cost. The most important part when hiring a photographer is NOT the cost. You want a quality experience with a photographer that knows how to work with newborns which leads me to number 4…
- This one is the MOST important. When you look for a newborn photographer your baby’s safety is the number one priority. Find someone who has the experience to know how to pose a baby without injury! My sessions last hours because I make sure your baby is so sleepy and ready for photos.
Don’t fall into these traps! Newborn pictures can be so stressful. On top of being new parents you are trying to book a photographer that will take care of you and provide beautiful art your family will cherish for generations. Once you book with me, I will walk you through the whole process from start to finish. Your baby is only a newborn for so long and documenting this time is so important.
