- Taking good pictures is an art and having a professional photographer with a trained eye and the creativity to visualize a beautiful unique photo is worth the extra cost.
2. If you’re having your first baby, you may not realize how little time you’re about to have. You’re not going to have time to take quality pictures or maybe take any pictures at all. Making an appointment and knowing that time is coming is comforting and it allows you to concentrate on other things, like enjoying time with your new son or daughter, and that is priceless.
3. I guarantee that you won’t be able to get a nice quality, frame-able picture from your smart phone, go ahead and use any phone or any app, it just won’t happen. Additionally, point and shoot cameras have come along way and are great for day to day picture taking and 75% of the time you’ll be happy with the results, but for those big occasions, having a baby- you want to be 100% sure that you’re getting the best pictures.
4. To get the best posed newborn pictures it’s best to have them done within 10 days of birth, and of course there are several considerations when handling a newborn baby, you can just flop them around and pose them how you want, it is important to be safe and have patience. Safety is especially an issue when doing pictures like this, it takes a special touch and some other photography tricks to accomplish this shot. I am safety certified with APNPI.
5. And the most important reason why you need to get newborn pictures done by a professional is the memories, you’ll have a hard time remembering how tiny and precious your son or daughter was. They grow SO fast, it’s hard to believe looking at the picture below that she was this small just 6 months ago. You’ll regret not investing in professional photos if you decide not to take my advice, and unless you have a time machine you won’t have the chance to change your mind.
