The Importance of Newborn Photography
September 22, 2010
Well since I just posted a maternity session yesterday, I figured I’d take a minute to write a blog post about the importance of Newborn Photography. Enjoy!
During your baby’s first week of life, you and your growing family will be going through lots of adjustments and will no doubt be tired. But this is an awesome time to have your baby professionally photographed. There is nothing quite like the first few weeks of your baby’s life. Your child will never again change so quickly, details and qualities disappearing in the blink of an eye. Literally.
A baby’s first two weeks of life pass by rapidly. Sure they may be peeling, and wrinkly, and their umbilical cord is still attached, but this time is quickly over and you will want to remember this precious newborn stage forever.
I encourage parents to schedule a newborn session within baby’s first two weeks, but during the first week of age is really the best! Newborn babies are super sleepy which is ideal for capturing some of the cutest sleepy baby poses, especially that curled up position like they had in momma’s womb. They are also easily able to be posed into fun positions to create unique and precious images of your child.
Truthfully, mom and dad are perfectly able to take pictures of their little bundle of joy, but nothing can compare to having a professional photographer document this beautiful yet fleeting moment in your baby’s life. A newborn session provides parents with a chance to record the joyous experience of parenthood and their new little life through prints, canvases, albums, or birth announcements so that your baby’s first weeks of life will never be forgotten.
