There is a new arrival in your household and everyone wants photos of this baby. The newborn photography Canberra professionals can offer will provide proud parents and grandparents with a lifetime of memories. Choose a Canberra, ACT photographer that will be able to supply you with all the visuals you could want or desire of this precious new baby.

Select those moments that are the most precious to you. Do you desire to have photos taken in the delivery room or hospital setting? Most take casual photos here and wait until the child is brought home before they think of hiring a professional.

The best time to have the photos taken is when the child is less than a few weeks old. They will sleep for long periods of time and it will be possible to do some very natural post-birth pictures with them curled up as if still in the womb. A studio can be your best option as the professional will have many props on hand to use for these very special and unique shots.

Take natural photos of your baby. He can be curled up in a basket, in your arms, or, if he is very tiny, balanced in the palm of your hand. You will want a variety of full body shots, pictures of hands and feet, as well as many facial expressions you can get. Always try to include a mother/child picture as well as pictures with siblings or other family members.

You can choose any type of outfit for the infant. It can be an ensemble that you had as a child or even a white christening gown or set, a fluffy dress, or a tiny suit. A handmade quilt or blanket worn by past members of your family would also be a sentimental touch. You can also bring antique toys or stuffed animals for extra impact.

The setting is also important. For very young children, indoors is always best. Sunlight, insects, wind, heat, cold, and more can be very irritating to a very small child. Safety is always an issue so if you must do outdoor shots, limit to just a few.

Select specific photos to enclose with your baby announcements. Begin a series of framed pictures to add to as he gets older. Place a few in ornate frames and display in your home for guest and family viewing.

These unique and delightful pictures will provide memories for you for many years to come. Be sure to make your appointment as soon as possible because babies tend to grow up quickly. You may want to book the session even before the child is born to ensure that the professional you choose is available. As your child gets older, you can view the pictures and compare them to other siblings and even his own children when he has a family of his own.
