There are a million reasons to photograph your baby (and toddlers, children, teenagers) but these three have to be the most important reasons -
To capture those ever changing details
The first six weeks especially are normally a complete whirlwind of sleepless nights, feeding and nappies. They feel like the longest days but weeks go by in a flash. Their tiny knuckle dimples, fuzzy little ears and chubby wrist rolls soon disappear before you’ve even had time to enjoy them. Preserve these precious details with a newborn portrait session within the first 6 weeks. Capture the memories of your baby's first days with you-the way they looked when they were born, how much smaller than their siblings they were at first but eventually grew into their own personhood over time (and how much more adorable each stage of development was than anything before it).
Create memories to last a lifetime
As new parents, lacking in sleep and normal conversation, you can often be in survival mode, figuring out this new dance of being a family while being in awe of the newest addition. A portrait session is a great excuse to slow down, forget the pile of washing and soak up this stage in your family, taking some time to be close to one another. All while it’s being captured for you to keep forever.
Capture your family connection
Having professional family portraits taken is a great way to capture the bond between your loved ones. All newborn portrait sessions include family portraits too, whether that’s just Mum, Dad & Baby or siblings too. I always include siblings and have a portrait of them holding their new baby brother or sister (in an age appropriate, safe pose). This gives them real time, just the two of them to be together and bond.
