Newborn photography is all about freezing those tiny, magical moments that you’ll cherish forever. From their adorable yawns to their tiny toes, it’s pure joy!
To make the session fun and stress-free, you need creative ideas – think cozy blankets, cute props, and those dreamy little smiles. Let’s turn these early days into memories you’ll love looking back on for years to come!
Experiment with lighting, exposure, perspective, and colour:
It allows you to find what works for the clients and their babies. You can play around with different lights (natural light and flash), perspectives and angles (standing, kneeling and bending), and colours to find the best fit for every scene and theme.
- Black and white photography
Timeless and elegant, black and white photos highlight simplicity and suit all skin tones.
- Composite photography
Create stunning poses by merging multiple images in editing.
- Natural light photography
Cost-effective and simple, natural light creates soft, beautiful photos. Use modifiers like reflectors to enhance the effect.
- Flash photography
Perfect for studio shoots, but keep flashes at a safe distance for safety and aesthetics.
