Have you ever thought about the benefits of hiring a professional Salt Lake City newborn photographer versus doing it yourself? As a seasoned photographer, and a mom who has attempted her own photos with her babies, I’m here to tell you why it may be a good idea to have someone else do it for you!
Salt Lake City Newborn Photographer | Top 5 reasons
#1 ACCESS TO THE BEST PROPS
A well established newborn photographer will have props galore to use for your session that they have been collecting for years! From cute little outfits, to dainty floral headbands for those baby girls, we take great care in selecting the best of the best. Most of us source our props from all over the world and the handmade quality of these items are unmatched.
#2 SAFE POSING
Safety should be your photographers number one concern when handling your brand new baby. An experienced Salt Lake City newborn photographer knows exactly how to safely pose your baby in a large variety of ways to get that perfect picture! It may look easy to pose a newborn a certain way, but trust me when I tell you, the ease of knowing that comes with A LOT of practice. Usually when parents try to DIY a photoshoot, their result will not look as neat and perfect.
#3 YOU NEED TO GIVE YOURSELF THE PROPER TIME TO HEAL
Raise your hand if you have ever attempted to do a little bit too much a little bit too soon after having a baby. Even several weeks after I had my own babies, the toll it took on my healing when I attempted to take my own photos set me back. Do you know what else happens when you try to do it yourself? Your baby can smell you and will likely not want to cooperate because having a sip of milk sounds much better to them than having their picture taken. By allowing someone else to do it for you, you get to sit back and relax and ooh and aah while you watch your baby being posed in the cutest ways!
#4 EDITING CONNOISSEURS
When you look at your newborn, they are of course absolutely perfect and to the naked eye their skin looks pretty normal. But did you know that cameras can bring out some pretty funky colors in their skin? Many newborns have red, yellow (jaundice), orange, and even gray spots on their little faces. A professional photographer knows how to touch that up just right to make them look oh so adorable!
#5 PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT
We invest thousands of dollars in our equipment! From cameras, to lighting, to editing software, you will have timeless images to enjoy for years. Good equipment really makes a world of difference in the quality of images they can produce.
Isn’t it just nice when someone else does all the work for you and you can reap the benefits? Take the added stress away, enjoy your brand new baby, and hire an experienced photographer to create memories for you. And I don’t know…maybe hire a cleaning service and a chef too? Now wouldn’t that be nice! If you are looking for a Salt Lake City newborn photographer, I would love to work with your family! Please contact me to plan your custom newborn session!
