The birth of a baby is the most special and delicate moment in a family's life. Capturing these first days with a professional newborn shoot creates timeless memories. But how do you choose the right newborn photographer? In this blog post, we introduce you to the best newborn photographers who have all shot in our beautiful photo studio. Additionally, we provide essential tips for a successful newborn shoot, so you can be well-prepared and fully enjoy this unique experience.
What to consider during a newborn shoot?
A newborn shoot requires a different approach compared to a regular photoshoot. It all starts with the right timing. The best period for a newborn shoot is between 1 and 3 weeks after birth. During this phase, babies sleep a lot and are still flexible enough. Natural daylight also provides the most beautiful and softest images. This is why many newborn photographers prefer shooting at Atelier Oost Amsterdam or in a well-lit space at the family's home.There are different styles in newborn photography. Do you prefer a posed shoot where the baby is placed in specific positions, or a lifestyle shoot that focuses on spontaneous, intimate moments? This is something to consider carefully, along with the comfort and safety of the baby during the shoot. A good newborn photographer ensures that the baby feels at ease. The room temperature, poses, and materials are carefully adjusted to the baby's well-being.
Finally, patience is key. A newborn shoot follows the baby's pace: feeding and comforting moments are part of the process. A good photographer takes their time and follows the baby's rhythm.
