Isn’t everyone a photographer these days? Phone cameras are advanced and have the fancy ‘portrait’ filter, surely that’ll do?
The short answer is, no! There’s so much more to a timeless photograph than just the phone or camera in hand. It’s about the light, the angles, the shadows, the storytelling. All these things that an experienced photographer can bring together to create real magic in a photograph.
As I’m sure you’ve heard a million times, the newborn days are brief and precious. Those tiny hands and little feet won’t stay that adorable, wrinkly and curled up for long (well actually… they will always be adorable!). The sleepy, milk drunk faces, the dozy yawns. Capturing that fuzzy feeling in a photograph is so special, and is something that you’ll never regret investing in.
An in-home newborn session also allows an extra unique, personalised level. In the future you might re-decorate or move houses. This is where lifestyle newborn photography is so valuable. I’ll capture a moment in time - the way your home was when you bought your little bundle home, your love bubble before you went out into the world as a new family. You’ll want to remember everything about those days - how small they were; how it felt when they slept leaning on your shoulder, curling their little legs up; how your bedroom became your world for a few brief weeks as you and your baby got to know each other.
Probably the most important reason to book a newborn photographer is to make sure that YOU are in the photos! Yes you can take dozens of cute photos of your new baby, but a selfie or a quick phone snap won't capture your beautiful bond. When your child is older, they will want to see the whole story - their parents holding them, their siblings getting in on the cuddles, them being cradled in their first bedroom.
For such a huge moment in your life, it’s worth investing in a professional photographer. You wouldn’t rely on a phone camera for your wedding photos, and it’s the same for newborn photos. Let me tell your story and capture the quiet, intimate moments while you spend time with your baby, and provide high quality family photographs for you to treasure.
