When welcoming a new addition to the family, capturing precious moments through newborn portraits is a beautiful way to cherish those memories forever. Before choosing a photographer for your baby's photoshoot, here are some important questions to ask:

  1. Experience: Inquire about the photographer's experience with newborn photography. Ask how many newborn sessions they have done and if they have any special training in handling newborns.
  2. Safety: Safety is paramount when it comes to newborn photography. Ask the photographer about their safety protocols during the session to ensure the baby is handled with care at all times.
  3. Style: Discuss the photographer's style and see if it aligns with your vision for the portraits. Whether you prefer posed images or a more natural approach, make sure the photographer can deliver the aesthetic you desire.
  4. Timing: Newborns change quickly, so it's important to schedule the photoshoot within the first two weeks of birth to capture their tiny features and sleepiness.
  5. Preparation: Prepare for the session by feeding the baby beforehand to keep them content and sleepy during the shoot. Bring along any special props or outfits you would like to incorporate.

During the photoshoot, remember these tips to ensure a successful session:

  1. Keep the baby comfortable: Maintain a warm and soothing environment to help the baby feel calm and sleepy throughout the session.
  2. Be patient: Newborns can be unpredictable, so be patient if the baby needs breaks or if they are fussy during the shoot.
  3. Capture details: Focus on capturing the baby's tiny features such as their fingers, toes, and eyelashes to create timeless portraits.

With these tips and questions in mind, you can trust that your newborn's portraits will be a beautiful and cherished memento of this precious time in your family's life.  Contact my portrait studio to book your baby's session now!

Capturing the Beauty of Newborns: A Central Illinois Newborn Photo Session

Newborn photo shoots are some of the most precious moments a photographer can capture. There is something magical about holding a brand-new baby and watching them sleep peacefully. As a photographer, it is my honor to capture these moments for families to forever cherish.

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful baby girl named Camila. From the moment I met her, I knew she was going to be a feisty one. As I always say, the prettiest babies always like to give me a hard time during their sessions. However, Camila surprised me by shutting her eyes and becoming jello in my arms. We were able to create a beautiful gallery for her that her family will treasure forever.

Camila looked just like her beautiful big sister who I had the pleasure of photographing a few years ago. Even as newborns, they know they are cute and can get away with anything! But with a little patience and a lot of love, we were able to capture some truly stunning images.

During the session, I had a hard time choosing which images to include in the blog. Camila was such a natural in front of the camera, and every shot was more beautiful than the last. But I finally narrowed it down to a few of my favorites.

Camila, you are beautiful, and I loved having you in my studio. I can't wait to see you again in six months and capture more of your beauty. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family's journey.
