Newborn Photography Canberra Professionals Can Take Of Your New Arrival

By Tammie Caldwell


You've just had a new baby or are a brand new grandparent and really want some pictures of this precious new arrival. You seek the professionals that can handle newborn photography Canberra parents desire. Select a local Canberra, ACT professional who specializes in this art as you will get the best results from someone who does this often.

Choose the moments. Do you want pictures taken in the delivery room? Hospital room? Or do you just want to wait until the child is settled in the home before arranging to have the photos taken?

When the child is a few weeks old, photos can be effectively taken. It is a good time because they are very relaxed and spend large amounts of time asleep. There natural state of being curled up as if still in the womb is still predominant. Taking these photos in a studio is usually your best option as there will be many props to use for some extra special poses.

Take natural photos of your baby. He can be curled up in a basket, in your arms, or, if he is very tiny, balanced in the palm of your hand. You will want a variety of full body shots, pictures of hands and feet, as well as many facial expressions you can get. Always try to include a mother/child picture as well as pictures with siblings or other family members.

There are so many precious outfits to choose from after you take the natural photos. These may be clothing you wore as a child or a family heirloom. It could be a delicate christening gown or a frilly bonnet. Even a handmade quilt or soft blanket can be just what a photo needs to bring it alive with texture and impact. Add antique toys or a favorite teddy bear for extra impact.

The setting is also important. For very young children, indoors is always best. Sunlight, insects, wind, heat, cold, and more can be very irritating to a very small child. Safety is always an issue so if you must do outdoor shots, limit to just a few.

The pictures can be displayed in photo frames or an attractive album. Either way, they will be readily available for viewing by visitors. Tuck the photos in your birth announcements before you mail them to friends and relatives to provide them with memorable keepsakes. Begin a row of delightful photos on a prominent wall and add to them as your child grows and matures.

These special mementos will provide memories for many years. Book your appointment with a professional as early as you can. You should make an appointment before the baby is even born to ensure that the photographer will be available for this important session. You will love to view these photos as your child gets older. You can compare them to siblings and then to his own offspring when he has children of his very own.
