5 Things you didn’t know about your Newborn Photoshoot

When thinking about booking your Baby’s Newborn Photoshoot it’s a good idea to do your research and go with the Photographer that you feel will make you and your family feel comfortable and safe.  Here are some things you didn’t know about Newborn Photoshoots at Little Photography Company in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

The workflow is chosen to ensure baby feels relaxed throughout the session

My workflow is usually starting on the posing bed which is layered up with lots of comfy blankets, this is a table on wheels that I sit at to pose your baby.  I start with this as at this point Baby should be the most settled and relaxed, this enables me to pose your baby safely. and create those lovely curled up sleepy poses you see on my website.

As the session is baby led and if your Baby is wide awake or unsettled there are other ‘tricks of the trade’ that can help to make sure Baby is relaxed.  I can change the order of my workflow and adjust accordingly as I allow 3 hours for the session if we need a bit of extra time to settle Baby then we have time to do so.

We only try to book one Newborn Session a day

When you come for your Newborn Session we want you all to feel relaxed and enjoy your experience at Little Photography Company so we try and only have one session a day or if we really need to fit in another one then they are spaced out to allow plenty of time for your session.  There is nothing worse than feeling like the session is a rush.

Your Photos will need to be edited

We aren’t talking full on air brushing but all Newborn session will need some editing done on the photos.  This is more like the icing on the cake and we don’t change what anyone looks like.  It is mainly colour balancing or extending backdrops and the odd little skin touch up.

The editing follows the session and prepares the gallery for you to view around 2-3 weeks after your session.

You don’t like photos so why the family photos?

We always encourage you to have family photos even if you decide you don’t like photos we encourage you to think again.

This backlit family photo is the solution and a perfect way to ensure you get that first family photo without feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera.

So maybe having a family photo isn’t something to dread after all?

Wrapping the Baby doesn’t only look lovely but helps to relax too

Wrapping the baby really helps to make baby feel relaxed and takes them back to the time they were in the womb.  We find this can help settle an unsettled baby so in the workflow this usually comes in toward the end of the session or we will adjust the workflow to include this earlier if needed.

I hope that this Blog post has been useful and if you have any further questions about your Newborn Photoshoot then please feel free to get in touch.
