By Jeannie Chapman


Having a child is a wondrous event that provides a lifetime of memories. And while you'll have plenty of cell phone camera photos of your new baby, there's nothing like having professional photos done. That means finding a newborn photographer Melbourne to get things done right. You won't regret the decision of having your images done by an experienced pro who knows how to get the best shots.

Even if you have a high-quality digital camera, having a professional shoot your pictures makes a huge difference. Image quality is only a small part of the equation. To have a photo that is truly memorable, the lighting, pose and background all need to be right. And after the photo shoot your newborn photographer Melbourne will know how to retouch things to ensure things look perfect.

Taking photos in the home is a popular options with new parents. This is a comfortable atmosphere and most photographers will have portable backgrounds to use during the shoot. You may also choose an outdoor setting, either at your home or in a park or playground. Your photographer will likely be able to suggest good locations.

The pictures can also be taken in a studio. One of the hottest trends in newborn photography is posing the baby in snuggly costumes. You've likely seen some examples of these online. Babies dressed as veggies, animals and the like. They make for a truly memorable portrait you'll want to share with family and friends.

Finding a good newborn photographer Melbourne is easy thanks to the internet. A quick search will provide you with a number of local possibilities. The first thing to do is make sure they do newborns. Just about any professional will say they do newborns, but it does take a special kind of photographer to do it right. Check out their portfolio and see the kind of work they do.

If possible build a short list of two or three possibilities. Then contact each and have a conversation. It is really important that you feel a good connection with the photographer. There are a lot of people out there who can take quality photos, but to get something magical requires a level of trust and comfort. Ask about their experience overall and with newborns/babies specifically. Ask what types of portraits they specialize in and ask them to share their favorite shots.

Of course pricing is an important aspect of the interview. Don't be timid about asking about the session price and printing prices. Some photographers will allow you to simply buy the digital files and do the printing yourself. You'll pay a bit more for the session, but if you plan to print a lot of copies, this may be the least expensive way to do things. Also ask about retouching experience. No matter how beautiful your baby, blemishes and such will likely always show up, so retouching experience is important.

Documenting your baby in the first weeks of life will provide a cherished keepsake and memory of those times. Don't rely on dad or a friend for this special moment. The moments go by fast so be sure to capture them the best way you can. Do it right and find a good newborn photographer Melbourne.
