Babies on the virtue of their inherent lovableness are naturally photogenic, and many of us cannot resist clicking photos of babies when we see one. Babies quickly morph into children and the latter into young adults, before you blink an eye, so babies do not remain newborn for very long. There are many families and couples who want to celebrate the arrival of the new addition to their family, by hiring quality photographers who specialise in baby photography. These photos remain a testament of your love for your offspring and even if they get married, move away to abroad for further studies, etc. these timeless photographs will remain a part of them no one can take away from you.


There are some top of the mark, photographers in London who specialise exclusively on infant photography and related photography, like maternity photography. Baby photography is quite distinct from other types of photography, as the photographers need to be even more spontaneous and flexible than their regular contemporaries, as babies tend to be very capricious and volatile. With their ever-changing mood swings, much of which depend on their whims and hunger pangs, and their refusal to open up to anyone other their mother, means that babies can be more difficult to shoot than even the most exclusive and demanding diva! Thus baby photographers or those who specialise on newborn photography have to be extra flexible, spontaneous and cautious.


According to some of the well-established infant photographers, making the baby feel more safe and comfortable is one of the thumb rules of newborn photography and it always pays off, as infants are wary of new and unfamiliar surroundings and might shut down. Photographers for example always make sure that they have ample natural light, because harsh camera lights, disturb the babies fragile sleep and waking a sleeping infant is never a good idea and is sort of destructive to the whole photo shoot, because once they get distressed, it can take a lot to calm the newborn down.  Photographers who excel in baby photography London suggest that when the infant is one to two weeks is old, they are much more mold-able or amenable and it is the perfect time for taking snapshots.


Which is why many baby photographers prefer lifestyle photography which enables them to be more spontaneous and flexible, open to valuable inputs from the parents who are cognizant with the baby’s moods, to the run of the mill studio photography? Lifestyle photography also allows the photographers to shoot the pictures in the first ever home of the baby, making the pictures, even more special. Babies cannot made to be ‘’posed’’ like children and adults. The snapshots have to be taken when they are sleeping, playing with toys, absorbed in their own little world.


The newborn photographers always make sure to create atmosphere which closely resembles the baby’s habitat, complete with one or both of the parents in near vicinity. Necessary items such as posing bean bags, boppy pillows, swaddle blankets waterproof pads (to absorb mess made by the baby) is a must whenever you are going to capture a photo of the newborn. Macro lens or close angle shots which concentrate on specific body parts like fingers and toes, while the infant is sleeping, is another great way of capturing the essence of infancy vulnerability, and innocence.
