Tips for Finding Your Newborn Photographer

Booking your newborn photography session

If you’re looking for a newborn photographer in Cuyahoga Falls and surrounding areas, here are some steps you can take to find the right one for your needs:

1. Online Search:

Start by conducting an online search for newborn photographers in Cuyahoga Falls. Use search engines like Google and Bing, and consider looking at Instagram and Facebook. Most photographers will share a variety of their work online via blogs and posts so that you can get a feel of their personality and style. When working with a photographer, it is important that you feel comfortable with their demeanor, particularly when it comes to interacting with your newborn baby.

2. Portfolio Review:

Once you’ve found some potential photographers, take the time to review their portfolios. There are many styles when it comes to newborn photography, so take the time to check out what fits your vision. Pay attention to the quality of their work, their use of lighting, composition, and poses. Most photographers are happy to share additional samples of work on request.

3. Read Reviews and Testimonials:

Check online reviews and testimonials from past clients to get an idea of their experiences working with the photographer. Positive reviews can indicate professionalism, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

4. Contact Photographers:

Reach out to the photographers you’re interested in and inquire about their availability, pricing, and packages. Be sure to ask any questions that you may have about the photo session, such as the duration, prop, and theme options, and what is included in their packages. We create custom-designed posed newborn sessions here at our Cuyahoga Falls studio and offer lifestyle sessions in your home as scheduling allows.

5. Discuss Vision and Expectations:

If you have questions about newborn photography, do not hesitate to schedule a phone or in-person consultation with the photographer to discuss your vision and to ensure that your expectations align. This is also an opportunity to discuss themes you’d like to incorporate into the shoot. Would you like to hear more about the newborn experience here at Blush?

6. Consider Safety Measures:

Safety should be a top priority when photographing newborns. Make sure the photographer you choose has experience working with newborns and follows safety protocols to ensure the baby’s well-being during the session.

Our newborn sessions are slow and quiet here at the studio to keep the baby at ease and soothed. A typical session is 2.5-3 hours. We like to create a relaxing atmosphere for you and follow a baby-led approach to focus on keeping the baby comfortable throughout the session. I always work with an assistant in the studio to keep the newborn’s safety top of mind while posing. Composites are often made up of multiple photographs of one pose so that Jenn can provide additional support to the babies while achieving a safe and adorable image.

7. Finalize Details and Book:

Be sure to book your session in advance to secure your spot on the photographer’s schedule. Most Blush families reach out during their 2nd trimester to secure their spot, although we typically can accommodate last-minute requests. We recommend photographing your newborn in the first two weeks after their birth to capture them at while they are sleepy and naturally fall into the snuggly, curled-up poses that mimic their positioning in the womb, but understand the unpredictability of birth and can capture beautiful images of babies of all ages.

By following these steps, you can find a skilled and experienced newborn photographer who can capture beautiful and timeless images of your precious little one. We hope to meet you soon!
