Newborn Photography ~ BABY'S SAFETY ALWAYS COMES FIRST!

After hearing a couple of horror stories in the last 2 days of untrained newborn photographers and people doing these shots at home without safety measures and specified training in newborn photography I thought I would do a quick blog post on the dangers involved.

I, along with many other newborn photographers have invested a lot of time and money in to learning the tricks and techniques of newborn photography, so I am not going to give all the secrets away, this post is to warn of the dangers and risks some people will take. Things are not always what they seem and these set ups take time, effort and patience to create.

There is a lot of safety preparations, spotters and photoshop composites involved in the creation of these images. There are people holding these babies that you just can't see. While the image of babies hanging from branches in slings and propped up in cute little poses are adorable and so very tempting to try, my advice is, if you want to do these poses... Get specific training in this area. The most amazing image is not worth the safety of a newborn or the lawsuit if things go horribly wrong, these are people after all, not props. Do not think that all babies will sit with their head propped up on their hands unaided and never suspend a baby from a hammock or sling at a height above a floor or any other hard surface. You can never trust a sling or hammock 100%. Knots can come undone and babies can fall if proper care is not taken. Even in some shots where baby looks all snug curled up in Daddy's hand can be dangerous if done at a height and without support, all it takes is for baby's heavy head to tilt and everything gets thrown off balance.

Another thing to keep in mind when using props to hang a baby in, is baby's weight. You want to be sure that what you are using is designed to hold the weight of the baby and NEVER put more than one baby in something designed for a single newborn.

If you have not had the training and do not have the safety methods to use, please stick to safer newborn poses curled up in little balls in cocoons or sleeping safely in a cushion or a photography prop beanbag until you have had the training required and you have the necessary safety items available to you.

Newborn photography as a whole is not as simple as many photographers make it look. Babies do not work on our schedule and there are many tricks involved to getting a newborn to that sleepy state that take place before the session even starts. Of course, sometimes you get lucky and get a dream baby that just sleeps through the whole session anyway! ;)

Please keep baby safety your number 1 priority, wether you are the photographer or the parent!

So many Photographers... Who do I choose?

Photography is something many people love, everyone appreciates and so many people want to have photographic art of their family to hang on their wall.

Some people may see a special offer from a Photographer and jump on it!

Others may see an image and fall in love with it, seeing their own family in the photograph so book with that Photographer.

Then there are people who want something specific and shop around.

There are so many Photographers here in Adelaide alone, so choosing the right Photographer can be a daunting task.

I'm not about to tell you who is better, who will save you money or what to watch out for. The truth is every Photographer has a different style to every other. Some props may be the same, or there may be similar products and settings, but the flair of EVERY Photographer is so different if you really look!

It's just a matter of finding a Photographer who has the style, flair and creativity that is suited to YOUR taste. Everyone's taste is different, everyone has different needs, different desires and I'm quite positive there is a Photographer to cater for absolutely everyone. There is no harm in asking a Photographer for a specific request you might have. The worst they can do is say no. Then you move on to the next one, but I am quite sure most Photographers are up for a challenge and would love the opportunity to try something different.

So, with all these Photographers out there, who do you choose...????

Referrals - Ask family and friends who they have booked with. Did they like the overall experience? Are they happy with the end product? Satisfied customers are more than happy to recommend a Photographer.

Check out their website - Does their style suit your taste? Does it match your personality? Do you prefer studio shots or candid outdoor shots for your family?

Contact - Contact the Photographer and gauge their personality. Is it someone who you could get along with? You will be spending some time with them after all, you want to be comfortable with your Photographer to get the best out of your session!

Price - What packages do they offer? What pricing structures do they offer? Are they within your budget or do they offer long payment options?

Determining the answers to these questions will help you in your final decision of who you will pay to capture these moments for you. Photographs last a life time and you are paying good money for them. You want to make sure it is suited to you and your family!

Happy Snapping!
