Infant Photography Ideas Biography
No, I don’t mean you should revert back to wearing diapers or sucking your thumb. I mean, literally get down to their level. Taking photos of your baby from their eye level will illustrate the baby’s perspective, rather than the adult’s. This technique will also save your child from a kink in the neck from always looking up!Do you ever find that when you’re summoned to participate in a group photo, you’re suddenly angling your body slightly left to hide that mommy tummy or tilting your head up a fraction to lose the double-chin? Maybe we do this because we can’t trust the photographer to take the photo at our best angle, so we try achieving it ourselves. Babies are going to have to trust us as the photographers to capture their best angle (Can you picture your baby saying, “Oh please, this angle is so not right for me, all you can see is my cradle cap!”?). Play around with different angles as you take your photos and don’t stop once you think you’ve got a good one. If you’re baby is still holding his pose, keep shooting!The viewer will see your baby on a more personal level and won’t be drawn to outside distractions. Don’t only take close ups of your baby’s face, after all, your baby is full of cuteness. Try taking close ups of their itty-bitty feet, the back of their neck (my mom’s favourite), their tiny hands...Light can either make or break a photo. The best light is natural light and the best natural light comes just after sunrise or just before sunset. Bright midday light will either produce shadows on your baby’s face or cause him to close his eyes or squint – neither result is what we want. If you’re taking photos throughout the day, try moving your baby under the shade of a tree or umbrella. Alternatively, if you’re taking photos indoors, try moving towards a window to utilize the light from outside. Note that you shouldn’t have the light come from behind your baby or you’ll end up with a silhouette. The best way to learn is by experimenting. Try different lighting techniques to discover what works best for you. When you’re indoors and you don’t have the option of using outside light – try taking advantage of nearby lamps. Explore taking photos with your flash turned off to see what results you can accomplish.Whether you can admit it or not, our babies don’t always look like the Gerber baby. They get baby zits, cradle cap, thrush, snot, eye crusties, they scratch their little faces...taking coloured photos will, no doubt, capture it all. Black and white, on the other hand, tends to soften an image and eliminates some of the noise. I find black and white photos can tell an entirely different story from colour. Go on, give it a try!Think 20+ years down the road. I’m sure we all enjoy looking at our own baby pictures, but as an adult, don’t those pictures have more sentiment if they include family and friends? I know it’s easy to see someone else with a camera and quickly try to dodge out of the way equipped with every excuse in the book (My hair’s a mess! Pictures make me look fat! I’m dressed like a bum!). When your baby becomes an adult, I’m sure they’d appreciate seeing themselves surrounded by their loved ones more than having album after album of just themselves.All parents want fantastic baby photographs, this guide will provide you with baby photography techniques and tips for new parents using a digital camera. From packing the diaper bag to creating the right background, here are your first photography lessons as a new parent.Mimika Cooney is an international award winning photographer who owns a residential studio specializing in fine art maternity and baby portraiture based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Her training in public speaking, make-up application and posing have proven useful in her chosen career. Mimika is a studio lighting photographer who specializes in artistic heartfelt memories of maternity, newborns, babies, children and their families.I can't get enough of round bellies and tiny babies, so it's no surprise how much I love to photograph expectant parents and newborns. From pregnancy to their first birthday, I got you covered. Maternity sessions can take place at any local setting of your choosing to create the most customized and unique photo of your blossoming family. Outdoor settings are perfect for maternity session! Each session is approximately 1 hour.
For newborn sessions, since babies can be fussy, I always set aside 2-4 hours to allow for "bio-breaks" to make sure we get them at their best. Newborn photos are cuter the tinier (and sleepier) the babies are. The best sessions are when your newborn is 3 days to 2 weeks old. If you keep in touch on your delivery, we can make sure to get you scheduled when your baby is at his or her best! Newborn sessions are generally taken at my home studio where there is a living room with privacy for feeding, a changing room, a kitchen to warm bottles, and a studio with all the right equipment to get adorable photos while taking great care for newborn safety. Newborn sessions can also be done in the privacy of your own home, but not all safety equipment is portable.This package combines the maternity & newborn session into one package. Sessions should be booked during the last trimester of pregnancy (preferably around week 34-36 or week 30-32 for twins) and the first two weeks of the newborn baby’s life. For newborn pictures, the earlier the better. I'm only half joking when I say I'll meet you home from the hospital. Some props and hats are available to show off a baby boy or girl. Feel free to bring your own props as well and we can incorporate them into a meaningful family memory. Includes (2) Standard Print Packages, a $50 print credit and a subset of low res images for social media sharing.
