How To Find A Professional Newborn Photographer Melbourne

By Jeannie Chapman


Having a newborn at home is a special experience. It seems like everything they do is perfect (well, not everything). That's why it is important to capture those first weeks of life with a professional newborn photographer Melbourne. Cell phone snaps only go so far. Do things right and hire someone who has the equipment and knowhow to do it right.

Having high quality equipment is only a small part of taking great photographs. An experienced professional will make sure the scene is lit correctly, the background fits and the pose is perfect. They will also know how to capture that perfect look, even if the baby's not in the perfect mood that day. This is the real benefit of hiring a newborn photographers Melbourne.

You have a few choices when it comes to background and setting. Many photographers will come to your home and shoot both inside and outside. This will give you a number of different options when it comes to choosing your favorites. Professional photographers may also recommend an outside location such as a park to shoot. This another benefit of using a professional.

The pictures can also be taken in a studio. One of the hottest trends in newborn photography is posing the baby in snuggly costumes. You've likely seen some examples of these online. Babies dressed as veggies, animals and the like. They make for a truly memorable portrait you'll want to share with family and friends.

So where do you go to find a newborn photographers Melbourne? Most turn to the internet. This is a good route as you'll be able to quickly find who is nearby, but also you'll be able to check out examples of their work online. Check to see if they do in fact specialize in newborns. Babies require special skills so make sure they have plenty of experience. If the majority of their work isn't newborns, you might want to look elsewhere.

Once you've narrowed things down to about three, contact them to set up a phone or in-person interview. This is an important step. Photography is an intimate art so you need to be comfortable with the person you choose. If you don't feel it, move on to the next candidate. It can really make all the difference in the final output.

In your discussion cover pricing. Don't wait until you've made your appointment. Usually photographers work one of two ways. They charge for the session and then they provide you with the digital files (some retouching is generally included) and you are responsible for final printing. This can be a better value if you are planning to print a lot of photos or if you have something special in mind (like a poster). Don't forget to ask about retouching. Ask what is included and about their experience.

Having a newborn in the home is a wonderful time. Capture those moments properly with a newborn photographer Melbourne. They will bring a wealth of experience and so you'll end up with much better photos then what you could do yourself. Even if Uncle Bob has a great camera, you'll be glad you went with a professional to shoot your newborns first real portrait.
