Hi,

Let me first start out by saying…

It is more important to me that you find the right photographer for YOUR BABY and have the most amazing experience than you shoot specifically with me.

Most women, especially first time moms, may have never done anything like this before and have no idea what questions they should be asking and how to find the right Newborn Photographer for them.

So here are my pointers on choosing the right Newborn Photographer for YOUR BABY!


1. Find A Photographer Who Specializes In Newborns


Finding a photographer who specializes exclusively in Newborns is extremely important. Not every photographer has the talent, the patience, the calming personality and the skill to handle newborns properly. It truly is a speciality that takes a specific skill set and expertise with babies. I’ve seen so many photographers try to offer Newborn photography with all the other genres they shoot, only to find out it really isn’t their specialty.

One way to tell if someone specializes in Newborns is they do not show any other type of artwork or galleries on their website or landing page. It will be dedicated completely to Newborn portraits. 


2. Choose A Photographer You Are Completely Comfortable With


This is the most important thing you should consider when choosing a Newborn Photographer! 

Being comfortable with your photographer will make your photo session experience a relaxed and meaningful time of bonding and connection to your little one, rather than stressful and nerve racking.

The best thing to do is to meet with your photographer for an in person consultation, before you book your shoot. This is a great opportunity to get all of your questions answered, see samples of their products (albums, wall art, etc.), get a tour of the studio, and see if you feel comfortable with them and if they are the best fit for you!


3. Find a Photographer Who’s Values Align With Yours

During your consultation you will be able to get to know the photographer more and be able to determine if your values align. For example, my values as a photographer are the following: 

 

Creating A Custom Experience For Each Client

Delivering The Highest Quality Photography & Products

Limited Number Of Shoots So My Clients Have Complete Access To Me

Being An Expert In My Field

Attention To Detail & Taking My Time

Clear & Professional Communication

Being Available As An Expert & Leader To Help My Clients Through Every Step Of Their Experience

NO Sales Pressuring Or Bait & Switch Sales Techniques

Dedication To Serving My Clients 

Now you may not value these things and that’s okay! If you don't value them, then I’m not the photographer for you. But when looking for the right Newborn Photographer for you, make sure you do find someone who has values and business principles that align with yours and what you are looking for. 

 

For a quick wrap up: 

1. Find A Photographer Who Specializes In Newborn/Maternity

2. Choose A Photographer You Are Completely Comfortable With

3. Find a Photographer Who’s Values Align With Yours


I hope this helps give you some insight on how to find the right Newborn Photographer for YOUR BABY! Wishing you the most amazing and epic experience while freezing these precious moments in time!


with Love, Miri
