Choosing the Right Newborn Photographer (Without the Stress!)

Finding the perfect newborn photographer doesn’t have to be overwhelming—here’s how to make it simple:

📸 Experience is Key – Choose someone who specializes in newborn photography and has years of experience. Safe handling of newborns is a must, you don’t want a novice handling your infant.
🌿 Style Match – Browse their portfolio (instagram is a great place!) to see if their style fits your vision.
🏡 Studio vs. In-Home – Decide between a cozy studio session or a lifestyle shoot at home—both have their perks and downfalls! Home sessions do require some prep on your part. Studio sessions you can arrive and the lighting and set up is already perfected for your beautiful photos.
⏳ Stay Organized – Plan ahead so you don’t forget to capture these precious moments once baby arrives. The newborn stage flies by! The best time for newborn photos is in the first two weeks after birth. The best idea is to book while you are still pregnant.
💰 Budget Wisely – A skilled newborn photographer is an investment. Expect to pay at least $1000 for quality work. Always check what’s included in their packages.
⭐ Check Reviews – Online reviews matter! Make sure they have plenty of positive feedback from happy parents.
