While eagerly awaiting the arrival of your little bub, ensure that you plan ahead and book in a newborn photo shoot to capture their first couple days of life. Hiring a newborn photographer will ensure that you will have beautiful photos of your child, that you can treasure for a lifetime.
If you are an expecting mum and decided to have a newborn photo shoot, we suggest booking your session as early as your third trimester; this is to ensure that you don’t miss out as we usually tend to book out 3 months in advance. The best time to have a newborn photo shoot is within the first 2-4 weeks of your baby's life.
For those who are still unsure whether to hire a newborn photographer, we have devised a list below on why investing in newborn photography is totally worth it.
Your child's safety is the number one priority
As a parent, you certainly wouldn’t want to entrust your newborn with someone who lacks the necessary experience and training in handling newborns. During their first few weeks of life, newborns are delicate and fragile; their small bodies will require patience and careful hands while positioning them into elaborate and adorable poses.
Here at My Eye Photography, the safety of your child is our top priority. We are a team of professional and experienced photographers who are experts in photographing newborns. Each of our photographers have received training in handling newborns to ensure the poses that we perform are safe. And, knowing that no two babies are alike, we only perform the poses that bub is comfortable doing. We are also up-to-date with our vaccinations and ensure that each of our props and accessories are sanitized in preparation for your bubs photo shoot.
Your child's life is more important than anything else; you can have great photos without risking your baby's safety. By hiring a professional newborn photographer, parents can rest assured that their baby is in good hands.
Relaxing experience for parents and family members
While it is easier now to capture photos of your newborn because of the accessibility to smartphones and cameras, you should still consider hiring a photographer for better images. There are remarkable differences in quality and presentation if the photos are taken by a professional photographer compared to DIY home photos or hobbyists. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to just sit back, relax and enjoy the photo session of your little one? Taking care of your newborn can be so exhausting, a photo session will allow you to take a break and maybe have a quick nap while you let us work our magic. Or, the photo shoot can be a bonding session by having family members take part in it. We always encourage parents, siblings and even grandparents to participate if they are present at the time of the shoot.
All our newborn package inclusions are devised with your satisfaction and convenience in mind. Parents can book online and choose whether to hold the shoot at the hospital or at their own home once they are settled. All your baby's photos will be uploaded to a private online gallery, ready to view for purchases and will be online within 1-2 weeks. We also offer cute personalised baby gifts in celebration of your baby's arrival.
Images are edited to perfection
As newborn photographers, we have invested in high-end DSLR cameras and accessories. But having such equipment is not enough to produce beautiful and professional imagery. Through years of experience and training, we have acquired the essential photography skills to make your baby's first photo gallery unforgettable. Our post-production and editing process ensures that the highest of quality images are delivered so that you can blow these up to canvas prints and hang in your home.
Your baby's photos as lifelong memories
Most parents who did not take the opportunity to capture their newborn professionally, often regret this decision. These are unforgettable and irreplaceable moments in your baby's life that deserve every bit of detail required. Besides, your baby isn't going to be a baby for very long, before you know it they will grow into toddlers who are running around your home. Having a newborn photo shoot will leave you with photographs that you can cherish and look back on for years to come. You can be reminded of the emotions you experienced in the lead-up and the first few days of your child's life.
Something to share with family and friends
It’s no surprise that all your family and friends will be eagerly awaiting to see your newborn. A creative way to share your excitement for their arrival is through these beautiful photos. They will fall in love with the adorable poses and detailed completions that will shine through in these images.
So there it is our guide as to why you should hire a newborn photographer in Sydney. Why not celebrate the arrival of your newborn by hiring a professional photographer to capture this special moment?
