Selecting an infant photographer is something which needs to be done fairly early. By early it means it should be done during pregnancy itself. It is preferable to book during the 20-week scan. In case of any delay, the risk of the unavailability of the photographers always remain. To secure a slot, a provisional date should be a book by hand. The process of decision making is enjoyable yet overwhelming.
There are some questions which need to be asked to the photographers which will keep oneself informed about the photographer and the things associated with his or her photography. As choosing an infant photographer is a crucial decision for the parents, it is necessary to remember certain tips while selecting it.
Market research- Most parents get fooled that all the infant photographers are equal. In most of the countries, these photographers do not require any specific qualification in order to offer this service. These days photographers are rising because of their passion. It should be kept in mind that as it is an infant photography, so professionalism should be at its peak. It is necessary to have experience in handling babies or else the baby can be at risk. Hence, it can be recommended that a professionally trained, reputed and experienced photographer should be chosen.
Cut-price photographers- Do not compromise on quality just because some photographers offer the service at an incredibly cheap price. Choosing a specialist in newborn photography is advisable.
Complex baby poses- Professional photographers discuss with the parents regarding the safe handling of the babies and about the specific poses they are about to offer. The photographers should not force the baby into a position which puts them in danger or makes them uncomfortable. It is necessary to ensure the utmost safety of the infant and keeping him comfortable and relaxed.
Photoshoot themes and props – Parents can choose from a wide-ranging themes which differs from a boy to a girl. Some of the significant themes for a baby boy includes super-heroes, cartoon characters, month by month etc. However, the month by month can also be applied for baby girls. The other common themes for girls include princess, jungle queen, barbie, cindrella etc. With each theme comes a separate set of props. For super heroes, the weapons are provided and for the princess comes the crown.
Preferred age of infants- It is necessary to gain insight whether the photographer has any preference with regards to the age of the baby. The preference is mainly due to the fact that after a few months the babies generally are wide awake for a more time which makes the photographers difficult to make them pose or photograph in general. The age is a major factor here because some shots may not be possible as premature, or 2 weeks old babies are extremely delicate to handle.
Photoshoot setting- Infant photography is carried out mainly at home/hospital as it becomes difficult to travel with an infant. In case the photographers want the patron to visit the studio then it is necessary for the young parents to get a complete overview of the studio. The setting should be welcoming, calm, warm and relaxed. Most importantly, the surrounding should make the infant comfortable above all.
