How Newborn Photography Works?
The moment your newborn enters the world is one of the most beautiful moments you will ever experience. Unfortunately, it’s also fleeting. Before you know it, they’re walking, talking, making their way through school, and ultimately, moving on with their own life. Newborn photography is there to preserve that precious moment for you to always look back on. When you’re in your elderly years and your child is going through the same moments you are now, you can take yourself back to those lovely first moments with them.
However, I also know how nervous you might be. Not only because the moment is so precious, but also because it can be difficult to photograph newborns since they can’t communicate. That’s why I ensure that Fotoreflection makes every effort to give you and your newborn child a calm, relaxing, and comfortable atmosphere you can enjoy.
How a Newborn Family Photoshoot Looks
As new parents, you might be nervous or not know what to expect with a newborn photoshoot in Burlington, but one of my favorite stories of a previous customer is probably the best way to put your mind at ease.
Amanda and Cameron were new parents, and just a few short days into having their child home, I was invited to join them in their own living room with their closest family members present to capture the moments as they unfolded. There were no poses or fusses to calm the baby while worrying about photography. The new family simply enjoyed their time together while the new mom guided the entire process, how she wanted, and I snapped the pics. Now, they have those precious moments with their grandmother, grandfather, uncle, and of course the parents, preserved forever exactly how they were naturally.
That’s what I strive for. I know that newborns aren’t trying to walk the runway or pose for the camera, and I don’t try to create that experience. The baby’s ultimate comfort is put first, and everything is done in an authentic manner.
Why Choose Fotoreflection for Your Baby’s First Photos
You only get these memories once. Even if you have more kids, each one is unique. Again, these moments tend to get away from us, too. Children grow quickly, they need us less and less, and eventually, that adorable newborn is a grown adult going off to college. Newborn photography preserves this precious moment, one of the loveliest moments in both your life and the child’s life, forever.
After many years as a photojournalist and a photography teacher, I am dedicated to helping parents preserve those moments. I offer both in-studio and on-location newborn photoshoots for the whole family, and you guide the process to ensure the ultimate comfort for your new family member.
If you’re welcoming a new child into the world, don’t wait. In just 3 easy online steps, you can book a photoshoot or consultation with Moussa to make sure your newborn’s first moments are preserved forever.
Newborn Photography Session – Six Day Old Emilia
Congratulations to Amanda, Cameron, and their families. Their newborn baby Emilia arrived just six days ago and is currently filling their home and hearts with precious moments and priceless expressions.
The photoshoot was casual, candid, and easygoing. No fuss, no props, and almost completely led by Emilia herself.
Grandparents and uncle gathered during a regular visit and I was invited to join and capture authentic moments. The only “prop” was a handmade blanket made by Amanda’s grandma herself.
The setting was the family’s living room where I was given permission to “do what you want”. My only contribution to this family photography session was a simple suggestion to face the windows for natural light and make Emilia as comfortable as can be.
This is my favorite style. I enjoy documentary photography in which moments are captured authentically.
These are a few images from the newborn family photoshoot. Enjoy!
