As a mother myself, I know how important it is to find a newborn photographer that you’re confident in. Those early days are fleeting and you want to remember every detail.
The options however, can be quite overwhelming. A simple Google search yields thousands of results. While there are many wonderful photographers out there, only a few will be the right newborn photographer for your family.
This is where I can help! As a newborn photographer, I know exactly what you need to think about to ensure you find a professional that will deliver what you’re looking for.
So without further ado, here are my four key questions to ask yourself that will help you find a newborn photographer that is perfect for your family.
1. What is their posing style?
From lifestyle in-home sessions to explicitly posed newborn portraits, there are countless ways to document your newest addition. It’s rare to find a photographer that does it all, and if you do, you might not be happy with the end result.
So think about what you envision printing out to put on your walls and in frames across your home…
- Do you want your entire family included?
- Do you want more relaxed posing for images that feel like you?
- Do you want to capture the nursery you spent months perfecting?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’ll want to find a newborn photographer that specializes in lifestyle in-home newborn sessions.
This is my specialty at Jamie Urban Photography. I focus on organic, baby-led posing, free of props, that incorporates sweet moments in baby’s crib, in your arms, in their sibling’s lap or with your sweet pup laying close by so you receive timeless portraits you’ll love decades later.
2. What is their editing style?
From dark and moody to light and airy or true to color, editing the same photo can yield hundreds of different results. So think about how you want your family represented. When you see other photos that you love, what do you love about the light and color in them?
When you want to find a newborn photographer that’s right for your family, editing style is key to loving your images years from now.
At Jamie Urban Photography, I use natural light to create a consistent glow with a bright and true to color editing style that delivers classic images, free of trends, that I know you’ll love for years to come.
3. How do they help you prep for your session?
Whether you’re in a studio or welcoming a photographer into your home, feeling prepared for your newborn session will make the experience easier on you and your family. If it’s not clear on their website, don’t be afraid to ask about how
At Jamie Urban Photography, I offer an entire guide for how to prep your home, baby and the rest of your family before anyone steps foot through your doors. Need help with outfit planning? I’ve got you covered.
4. Will they grow with your family down the road?
Last but not least, and arguably one of the most important questions to ask yourself when trying to find a newborn photographer—is this someone who can take photos of your family as you grow?
When you book a newborn photography session, this is the start of a very important relationship to help you remember the “good old days”. You’ll want someone that isn’t too niched into one type of photography.
At Jamie Urban Photography, I LOVE to grow with my families. I specialize in both newborn and family photography so you can continue to work with me over the years.
