  1. Experience = a safe baby
    The number one most important thing when looking for a newborn photographer is the safety of your new baby. An experienced newborn photographer will have acquired the specialized skills that are required to safely photograph your delicate newborn. Any photographer can can capture images that will last, but newborn photography is a very specialized type of photography. It takes years of training in baby posing and safety to pose a newborn without the risk of injury. An experienced newborn photographer is professionally trained in the unique needs of newborns, their anatomy, the right lighting, safe poses, and angles with everything needed to provide you and your family with a stress-free experience. After over 10 years of training and photographing hundreds of babies, Haley has the experience to photograph any newborn baby and will keep your baby 100% safe during their first photography session.
  1. Nurturing and Patient
    Coupled with experience, strive to find a photographer who has the gift of patience and understands the importance of nurturing your baby. There is no other photo shoot like that of a newborn session. Your photographer will need to be able to read your baby’s cues. Taking breaks often for feeding and changing to keep your newborn baby comfortable and happy. And as a new parent (or soon-to-be), nothing is more important than your baby’s care. Your photographer should be on board with that too.

  1. Reviews and Testimonials
    In hiring a newborn photographer read their reviews and testimonials. Seeing other new parent’s experience with the photographer will help you find the right photographer for your family. Ask friends and family is also a good way to find the right fit. Here in Austin, Round Rock, and Cedar Park a Google search for Photographers brings up reviews on multiple sites. Scour your potential newborn photographer’s presence on Expertise, Yelp, and write-ups in local media outlets such as Austin Mom’s Blog. In years to come you’ll be grateful you put in the effort to find the very best newborn photographer.
  1. The Right Style Match for Your Family
    Every photographer has their own unique style. When searching for a newborn photographer it is important to think about what style of photos you enjoy. Do you prefer classic, light, and airy photos? Or high-contrast, dark and edgy photos? One way to do that, is to look at your home-décor preferences as these photos will likely adorn your the walls of you home and your baby’s nursey.

  1. Responsive
    Finally, when looking for a newborn photographer, make sure they are responsive. You need someone who can reply to your messages in a timely manor because newborn photos are time-sensitive. You will also have questions about pricing and timeframes which they will need to reply to in detail always happy to assist in your search. Ask them upfront about what to expect throughout the process. And that includes understanding their pricing and fees which should always be available to you online and listed in detail.
