The moment you’ve been waiting for these last nine months has finally arrived. Your baby is safely home from the hospital and now you get to enjoy them. Those tiny fingers that wrap around your own, the delicious newborn wrinkles and that first sleepy smile – there’s nothing as precious as your newborn, and no time quite so special as the first few days and weeks of his or her life. Though the days may seem long, the months are short and before you know it you might find it hard to believe just how tiny your little bundle once was. If you want to capture those treasured early days, you might want to consider having some professional newborn photos taken. In this post, we explain why hiring an experienced newborn photographer is a must, and share how much newborn photo sessions cost with Hannah Cornford Photography.
Why should I consider a professional newborn photo session?
If you own a good camera and enjoy getting creative, you might be tempted to try and save some money by taking your own ‘DIY’ newborn photos in the style of those found on sites such as Pinterest and Instagram.
While those highly-posed images are utterly adorable, experts have warned https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/parenting/baby/98742936/parents-can-hurt-babies-by- copying-newborn-photo-fads–expert that trying to recreate them at home can be dangerous. A professional newborn photographer will know exactly how to create those perfect shots without putting your little one at risk.
Hannah Cornford has been working as a family photographer in Medway, Kent for ten years. When she decided to focus on newborn photography, around six years ago, she sought training with some of the UK’s most renowned newborn photographers. This included learning how to correctly handle and pose newborn babies. Hannah says that safety is her main priority when photographing newborns, and describes her newborn sessions as ‘baby led’.
If you chose to capture your pregnancy with a maternity shoot https://www.hannahcornfordphotography.com/maternity/, a newborn photoshoot is the natural next step when it comes to documenting your little one’s growth. Over the years you’ll then hopefully be able to add to your family photo album with even more beautiful memories, such as first birthday, fruit bath or cake smash photos https://www.hannahcornfordphotography.com/cake-smash-fruit- baths/.
