Is Newborn Photography Worth It?
As soon as you find out you’re pregnant, you have a massive to-do list ahead of you. There are preparations to make for the baby, constant doctor appointments to go to, habits to follow for your health and the baby’s health, and so much more. And in the midst of all that, you want to have enough room in your mind to be able to enjoy the experience of bringing your child into the world.
I’ve been there a few times myself, and I fully understand why you might feel like investing your time and finances into newborn photography is just too much to take on. But as a mom myself, I can assure you that newborn photos are 100% worth it.
WHY INVEST IN NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY?
There are plenty of reasons why newborn photography is worth the cost and effort – some sentimental, and some practical. From my experience as both a mom and a photographer, these are the top benefits to consider...
I’m sure that from the moment you announce your pregnancy, everyone has been telling you how kids grow up so quickly, and as cliché as it may be, it’s true. Your baby is only this little once, and it’s for such a short time. They go through so many changes in their first weeks of life, and you want to preserve the memories of them at their tiniest while you can. You can’t go back and change your mind later, and I’ve seen so many families feel the heartbreak of this lost opportunity. Truth is, when investing in newborn photography, you are capturing a brief yet magical time of life!
TELLING YOUR FAMILY’S STORY
As your baby grows up, you’ll be collecting portraits of them and of the entire family through the years. Your baby’s first days are an important part of your family’s story, and professional portraits of this beautiful stage will become a treasured piece of the collection you build. With every passing year, you’ll be gladder to have those first portraits to look back on.
PORTRAITS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
As a parent, you’ll be snapping hundreds of pictures of your baby on your phone. Chances are, though, that you aren’t in any of them. The rest of the family may not be either.
When you hire a professional for newborn photography, they can photograph everyone together to honor the fact that this is a special time for the entire family. Those whole-family photos will be even rarer as the years go on and life gets busy, so you’ll treasure these unique portraits.
EASE OF A PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Families hesitate about newborn photos because they expect them to be a lot of work, but if you hire the right photographer, you can toss that worry out the window. I’ve designed my newborn photography experience to be entirely hassle-free for parents. All you have to bring is yourself and your baby and I’ll take care of the rest! I have all the wraps, props, and other essentials so you can just relax in my cozy studio while I work my magic. I’ll even help you with ordering the finished art pieces and displaying your baby’s portraits.
