How To Find A Professional Newborn Photographer Melbourne

By Jeannie Chapman


The first weeks of a child's life is so amazing. Their size, their sleepy innocence is a true miracle. Do yourself a favor and don't relay on cell phone to capture these moments. Take the time to get a professional newborn photographer Melbourne who will make sure you get a portrait that is worth sending to family and friends. The experience a professional brings to things is well worth the expense.

Experienced photographers don't just have good equipment. They know how to light, pose and use the background to create unforgettable scenes. Most will also know how to get the baby to light up and sparkle in the photographs. They will also be able to gently retouch the images to make sure everything looks perfect. Simply said, a newborn photographer Melbourne will ensure you get the look you want.

A popular option is to have the portraits done at home. This allows the baby and parents to be in a comfortable location and can help if your newborn is a bit fussy. The photographer can bring some backgrounds and props as well. He or she may also suggest some out of door shots. This can be done at the home, or they may suggest a nearby playground, park or other location.

The pictures can also be taken in a studio. One of the hottest trends in newborn photography is posing the baby in snuggly costumes. You've likely seen some examples of these online. Babies dressed as veggies, animals and the like. They make for a truly memorable portrait you'll want to share with family and friends.

So where do you go to find a newborn photographers Melbourne? Most turn to the internet. This is a good route as you'll be able to quickly find who is nearby, but also you'll be able to check out examples of their work online. Check to see if they do in fact specialize in newborns. Babies require special skills so make sure they have plenty of experience. If the majority of their work isn't newborns, you might want to look elsewhere.

Once you've narrowed things down to about three, contact them to set up a phone or in-person interview. This is an important step. Photography is an intimate art so you need to be comfortable with the person you choose. If you don't feel it, move on to the next candidate. It can really make all the difference in the final output.

Pricing should be covered early in the process. Some will charge only for the session and their time and let you do the printing yourself. This is a worthwhile option if you think you'll be printing a lot of photos. Others will want you to pay them for prints. This can be more expensive, but the quality will more than likely be very high. Ask about their retouching expertise. This is an important part of the process as all babies (and their families) will likely have a few spots to clean up.

The first weeks and months of your newborn's life is precious. Having a professional newborn photographer Melbourne is well worth the expense and effort. Your baby goes through changes fast, so don't wait to capture the moments. You won't be sorry you documented those first months with a professional.
