(what is a newborn photographer specialist anyway?)
When you’re looking for a newborn photographer in St. Simons Island or newborn photographer in Brunswick GA, there are so many things to consider. As a newborn photographer I’ve been photographing newborns for 13 year now. Not only that – I also worked as a L&D Registered Nurse for several years in my nursing career – so when I say I am experienced with newborns – I am not even kidding.
These days I see “everyone” is a newborn photographer. But I have to admit I kind of cringe when I see websites that say I “specialize” in a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j and name every kind of portrait under the sun. Because let’s face it – NO ONE is a specialist in everything.
When preparing for your newborn portraits, opting for a photographer who specializes in newborns versus a generalist (general portrait photographer) is the way to go.
Here’s why:
-
As a newborn specialist I extensive experience specifically photographing babies in those first precious weeks. I have photographed hundreds (literally!) of newborns in all sorts of situations. That experience is invaluable for knowing how to soothe a crying baby, quickly achieve a variety of poses, and optimize lighting to show off your baby’s perfection.
-
My expertise (portrait experience AND nursing/hospital experience with newborns!) translates into efficiency at capturing the best shots. A general photographer may struggle with fussy babies and take much longer to get what they need, while as a newborn pro I can handle anything baby throws my way!
-
As a specialist, I have a studio outfitted specifically for newborn sessions, like temperature controls, white noise, and a stock of specialty props and blankets. These amenities optimize the comfort and safety essential for newborns.
-
I have creative posing knowledge to truly show off your baby. Newborn wraps, fabrics, and techniques that utilize safe positions a general photographer may not attempt or may attempt but without safety precautions. That creativity provides beautiful variety.
-
Post-processing expertise ensures your baby’s beauty shines. As newborn photographer in the St. Simons Island and Brunswick GA area, I know how to enhance skin tones, properly sharpen focus on delicate newborn features, and correct minor blemishes or bruising. My retouching emphasizes perfection while leaving skin as natural as possible.
-
Finally, as newborn specialist, I am truly more passionate about those fragile, fleeting early days. There’s just something special about photographers entirely devoted to newborns. And I like to think that this passion shows throughout my work.
When hiring a photographer, you want someone who lives and breathes newborns! Don’t chance these once-in-a-lifetime portraits to a general photographer. Invest in specialists devoted to masterfully capturing your baby’s brief newborn stage.
