3 Reasons Why You Should Hire a Newborn Photographer

Welcoming a child into the world is a big occasion and one that deserves to be commemorated in the finest way possible. One of the best ways to do this is by having a newborn photoshoot with your baby. Whether it be just baby, or mommy and baby, or family and baby, it is never a bad idea to capture these moments of life. When it comes to documenting your child’s life, who you choose as your photographer matters. You may wonder what difference hiring a photographer who specializes in newborn work will make as opposed to a DIY shoot with your smartphone or camera at home. There are many reasons why a newborn photographer would be an amazing choice! Today we will highlight three of them.

1. Convenience

Booking a Newborn photographer allows for convenience and ease for you as the parent. You only need to worry about booking your session, we will do the rest. You do not need to be concerned about baby during your session as your experienced photographer will take care of everything that you need. From wardrobe to props to even looking after baby during the session. A newborn photographer is a professional and you can trust that your needs will be met. You should be able to relax with the comfort of knowing that the precious memories of your baby are being documented for you! Hiring a newborn photographer allows you to just be Mom and be present. It is an investment that will not only bring you portraits of a moment that goes by too quickly, but it will bring you an experience.

2. Capturing the Fleeting Moment

It is easy to get caught up in being Mom right after having your baby. Before you know it, baby has grown before your eyes and we all know we wish we could go back and savor those moments. Newborn photography allows these moments to be caught for you. Frozen in time. A newborn session takes place within the first two weeks after baby is born and those two weeks are gone in a flash. That time is priceless and fleeting. Capturing baby during the period that they are a newborn allows you to cherish those moments for a lifetime and beyond.

3. We Provide the Props and Wardrobe

When we say worry-free, we mean it. Not only will you receive high quality portraits of baby when working with a professional newborn photographer, but you will also have access to props and outfits specifically for newborns. At PGP we pride ourselves on creating custom photoshoots for families and you will have options in order to generate a photo session catered to your vision. You can choose from headbands, baskets, flokati rugs, and so many more props to produce a dreamy setup. We have our collection of props and outfits for your viewing here. No need to purchase props and outfits that you may only use once or twice for photos.

Hiring a newborn photographer is an incredible choice to make. With everything that comes along with life, you want to memorialize special moments in your family. It doesn’t have to be stressful and it doesn’t have to take up all of your time. A newborn photographer will allow for you and your baby to have the most comfortable experience. These moments don’t last forever, so it is always a good idea to preserve them!

Charlotte Newborn photographer | In home newborn session & baby Yoda

Who doesn’t love a baby yoda?

Sweet baby boy did so well for his in home newborn session.

Before the session I discuss with Mom about what what she would like to get out of her session and what she would like her images to look like. We planned every detail. We discussed locations and colors in the house to come up with the best colors for outfits.

This is such a sweet family I have had the pleasure to work with and I enjoyed every second of documenting their growing family! Loved how sweet & simple these images turned out. Below are a few of my favorites.
