When you’re holding your precious little one, everything feels like magic – but capturing that magic in photos can come with a few misconceptions. At Giggles Newborn Studio, we hear a lot of myths about newborn photography, and we’re here to set the record straight. Let’s bust some of these myths and help you feel confident about booking your session!
Myth 1: Newborns must be asleep for great photos
Many people believe that babies need to be fast asleep to get those picture-perfect poses. While those sleepy shots are adorable, awake baby photos can be just as magical!
Awake photos capture your baby’s curious eyes, tiny smiles, and unique expressions that show off their personality.
Truth: Whether your baby is snoozing or wide-eyed, we’ll create beautiful images that reflect this special stage of life.
Myth 2: You should wait until your baby is older
Some parents think it’s better to wait until their baby is older for a photoshoot. However, those first few weeks are truly special. Your baby is still in that sleepy, curled-up phase, making it the perfect time for those heartwarming newborn shots.
Truth: The best time for newborn photos is within the first 2-3 weeks. This is when we can capture those tiny details – like their little toes and peaceful expressions – that change so quickly.
Myth 3: Professional newborn photography is too expensive
Yes, professional photography is an investment. But what you’re investing in are memories of a stage that passes in the blink of an eye. These photos become treasured keepsakes that you’ll look back on for years to come.
Truth: The value of capturing these beautiful moments far outweighs the cost. We offer flexible packages to suit different budgets, ensuring you get priceless memories without the stress.
Myth 4: Newborn photoshoots are too stressful for parents
We understand that bringing a newborn to a photoshoot can feel overwhelming. But here’s the good news: we create a calm, relaxed environment where you can take a deep breath and enjoy the experience.
Truth: We take care of everything – from soothing your baby to adjusting lighting and props – so you can simply focus on being present. We also schedule plenty of time for feeding, diaper changes, and cuddles.
Myth 5: Babies won’t cooperate during the session
Worried that your baby won’t “behave”? Don’t be! We’ve worked with countless newborns and know how to gently handle them. We work around their natural rhythms, whether they need a snack, a nap, or a little comfort.
Truth: Patience is key. We go with the flow, capturing moments as they happen.
Myth 6: All newborn photos look the same
Every baby is unique, and every family has their own story. Your photos should reflect that. We personalize each session with props, settings, and themes that feel meaningful to you.
Truth: Your session will be tailored to your family’s style and preferences, making your photos truly one of a kind.
Myth 7: Newborn photography is just about the baby
Yes, your little one is the star of the show, but we also love capturing the beautiful connections within your family. Those quiet moments between parents and baby, or siblings gently holding their new brother or sister, are priceless.
Truth: It’s about capturing the love, joy, and bond of your growing family.
Newborn photography is about more than just cute pictures – it’s about preserving the magic of those first days with your baby. By busting these myths, we hope you feel more excited and confident about booking a session.
