Being a newborn baby photographer in Melbourne, I understand why some go back to do it all over again and again. That newborn stage lasts for the shortest time. And most of us spend it just recovering from the birthing ordeal! Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be full of energy during the first few weeks of that newborn stage. We could spend every moment just soaking it all in? Instead, we’re trying to recover and work out the needs of the new addition to the family.
This is why it’s a great idea to get a newborn photographer in to freeze some of that precious time. Those little involuntary movements, the too-wise-for-their-size gazes, the scrunched up little faces when they want something and you’re not giving it fast enough! All these newborn traits are forgotten about so quickly as we sleep-walk through the later baby stages. It’s so heart-melting to look at photos of your newborn baby and remember it all.
Angus was the perfect text-book newborn baby. He was wide-eyed and inquisitive when the camera clicked away at him, gave me all the poses that a newborn should and fell asleep long enough for me to photograph him in that angelic state. We used his nursery, which fortunately had large windows and the chair in his dad’s office which we pulled close to the window for light. Baby Angus’ blankets and teddy are all his own. It’s a great idea to have some beautiful blankets or wraps handy when choosing to have a photo session done. Some different textures and patterns really do add mood to the images.
