Here are 5 important things to consider when hiring a Newborn Photographer In Paramus, NJ

Finding a trustworthy Newborn Photographer in Paramus, NJ, can be a bit stressful. As a mother of 3, I know I would want someone with experience and training in Newborn photography to handle my newborn baby.  

Newborn photography is harder than you think. If you want your images to look professional and safely captured, then hiring a trained professional newborn photographer to capture those precious moments is your number 1 priority.

1. SAFETY

The safety of your baby should ALWAYS be your utmost importance when hiring a newborn photographer. It takes training and tons of practice too. Safely knowing how to pose a newborn baby is a priority. There are different factors to consider when posing a baby.

  • The position they are in should always make them feel comfortable.  
  • Making sure their heads are always supported.               
  • Always gently wrapped without pressure on their chest.
  • Certain Poses are done by taking two images together and compositing them in Photoshop.

2. Training and Education  

This is just as important as safety. When handling a newborn, Make sure the trained newborn photographer handles your baby with proper care. Newborn Photography is a different genre in this industry. It requires patience, education, training, practice, mastering a pose, and knowing how to soothe a fussy baby. But it doesn’t stop there. Learning the lighting and different composition and angles can really deliver a beautiful portrait of your newborn baby.   I have been trained by a few well-known newborn photographers throughout the World, but my top two favorites would be out there, like Dewdrops Photography by Amy McDaniel. and Charlotte Ganache Photography. Their beautiful work speaks for itself.

3. INSURED

A newborn photographer must have liability insurance if they have a studio space.

4. Editing Expertise & Equipment  

As important as it is to capture every perfect detail on camera, Editing tools come in handy.   When dealing with a baby who is jaundiced or has dry skin, having these tools will help correct the coloring and those marks to deliver professional, great-quality images.

5. Experience

I have been a Newborn Photographer throughout Paramus and Bergen County, NJ, for over 8 years photographing over 500 babies and counting. I continue learning more about this trade and will never stop learning.

When holding and caring for your child, the last thing I want are my clients to worry about if their baby is safe in my arms. My number one priority is always safety, so I can assure you that this experience will be stress-free for you and your newborn baby.
