3 Tips on How to Handle Infants for Newborn Photography

We all know that infants are dainty and fragile that is why we are always alert and vigilant when it comes to them. My team and I understand this fact that is why we follow certain guidelines whenever we do our baby photography sessions in our Newborn Photography Studio in Los Angeles.

I’ll share some of the guidelines that we practice in our studio to ensure you a great service in front and behind the camera.

• Handling with care. 

As a mother myself and a Los Angeles newborn photographer, I know the worries whenever we hand our newborn to another person, and being a mother myself I always treat these little beauties as my own. We must keep in mind whenever we carry these infants to hold them properly; give proper support in their head and back. They are still tiny so you won’t have a hard time supporting a good amount of space as you hold them. Be careful not to hold the babies tightly as well, their bone tissues are still soft.

•  Putting babies to sleep

It is best to do the shoot while babies are sleeping. Parents could feed the baby a few hours or minutes before the shoot in that way they are more relaxed and easy to handle. We want to prevent them from being disturbed as we pose them on the camera so it is pleasing for us newborn photographers to do the shoot while they are sleeping.

• Infant-friendly environment

 I have mentioned in my blogs several times that we used props that won’t later give your newborns allergic reactions. We disinfect our studio and materials regularly to avoid unnecessary problems and to make sure that it would be suitable for your baby’s frailty.

Those are some of the regulations we practice in our studio and outside. We can assure you that we strictly follow these rules and more. We want to guarantee you a safe and satisfying newborn photography session.
