Having a baby for the first time is an apprehensive but extremely exciting time! I bonded with my baby as soon as I felt her move for the very first time. I promised myself that I would treasure every moment of my daughter’s life would never forget those special moments. It was important for me to ensure all these moments could be documented and I knew there would be too many to count or remember. Before my daughter was born I looked into baby photography. Although I am rather nifty with the old camera I wanted these moments to be captured in the most special and creative way. Although babies seemingly only eat, sleep and poop in their early days do not estimate how precious these days are.
Baby photography done in your babies early days captures the soft and angelic skin showing the total innocence of your child. I had my first pictures taken when my daughter was only a few days old. Babies don’t stay like this for long and without my photos it’s hard to imagine my daughter was ever that age now. It was important that I chose the right photographer so I asked my friends and families if they could recommend anybody.
The photographer I chose had a great portfolio in baby photography and he invited me to the studio before I made any decisions. I was 36 weeks pregnant at this stage and I had been taking the whole eating for two a little far. As I waddled in I was impressed by the fresh, clean professional set up of the studio. The photographer was in the middle of a session with another set of Parents and their baby boy. As soon as I witnessed this I was sold – the photos were magnificent and were certainly a fantastic way of treasuring those crucial moments in your babies life.
During my photo session the photographer made my husband and I feel at ease. It wasn’t until this time that I realised that baby photography is in fact an art and that it was not an easy task. The photographer made endless efforts to capture the right and perfect moment to ensure that our life long memories were ones to treasure. Technology nowadays allowed the photographer to manipulate and control the pictures and the results were more than impressive.
The cost of the photos is always an important factor to consider. The photographer I used was very reasonable and he offered packages for a selection of budgets. My main concern was the quality of the pictures and I was certainly not disappointed. The photos were developed just in time for Christmas and they were the perfect gifts for close family and friends. Baby photography is a precious thing and is something that will be kept for generations reflecting the memories and history of ones family tree. Baby photography is definitely the way forward and should be considered by all new parents – just make sure you do your research.
