Newborn Photographers near me Bath

Newborn photographers near me Bath – Newborn photography has become very popular for the last few years. When I started, there were only a handful of us, especially around Bath, Bristol, Somerset and Gloucestershire. A lot of my inspiration and mentors came from over the pond. Nowadays, when you search for newborn photographer near me Bath you will literally have hundreds of results. Here are a few pointers to help you choose the right photographer for you.

1. Style

   The first thing to consider is the style you are after. Some newborn photographers offer lifestyle sessions – photographs are taken in your own home and feature non posed pictures of your life with your new baby – whilst others offer studio style photography. Think about what you would like, what sort of photographs you’d like to display in your home. Even amongst studio photographers styles will differ: Some will use a lot of props, some will use bright colours, others will stick to a simpler plain and neutral style.

2. Safety

   Speak to your photographer about newborn photography safety and make sure that they know how to pose your baby safely. You may have seen on this page photographs of babies in the “chin in hands” or “froggy” position. If you have ever wondered how newborns can get safely into this pose, here is the answer: A little bit of photoshop magic. Newborns should never be left holding their head or balanced in props. Whenever baby is in a basket, I always have someone close to baby to make sure baby is safe at all times. You would never let your newborn baby hold their own head, this is no different when it comes to newborn photography.

4. Connect!

   It’s important that you enjoy yourself at your photo session and this starts by making sure you connect with your photographer. Speak to them on the phone, discuss your session to make sure they understand what your needs are and ease any concern you may have. Having spoken to your photographer, you will be more relaxed for your session, and so will your little one be.
