Recording Your Baby's First Days

                              Capture the miracle of your baby's first few days of life! Babies grow incredibly fast, and a newborn photographer in Toronto can record the utter innocence and newness in your child's face. Newborn photo sessions are different from other photo shoots, however, and it is best to be prepared beforehand. 

                    Your Toronto photographer will recommend that your schedule your baby's photo session within the first seven days because infants sleep more during that time. Keep a close eye on your baby's feeding and sleep schedule, and try to book your photo session during the time they normally sleep the most. If possible, feed your baby 30 minutes before the shoot; this will make them sleepier for the work at hand. You should also be aware that this photo shoot may take longer than shoots for adults or older children. Because your baby will often need to be fed and changed, the session can be interrupted several times. Set aside three to four hours for the shoot.

                                      Be as organized as possible! This will help your Toronto photographer make this process quick and easy. If the shoot is at home, make sure the nursery is clean, organized, and filled with plenty of natural light. Play soothing music in the background to keep your child calm and relaxed.  Most newborn photography is done with the baby wearing nothing but a diaper, so make sure you have a warm room; this will also ensure that your child stays asleep. You might try using a hair dryer several feet away from your baby. At a safe distance, this creates a soothing noise and keeps him warm and calm. Make sure that any props you want to use are accessible and ready to go. Choose timeless props that will not date your photos, and if possible, select neutral colors for your blankets and props. Your baby's skin reflects color very easily, and subdued colors will lead to more natural looking photos. Newborn photographers in Toronto find that textured blankets work best since they hide wrinkles and help control light in the images. If you and Dad want to be in the pictures, wear lighter clothes that are both neutral and complement the environment.

                         Above all, be prepared that things may not go smoothly. Your baby will need to be fed, have their diaper changed, spit up, and most likely make a mess on the props you have decided to use. Embrace it. Your newborn photographer in Toronto will be used to this and will bring extra props. Plus, sometimes, utterly charming photos come of these mishaps! So try to relax and enjoy this time with your sleeping, precious   baby.
