Ideas For Photographing Babies
One of the fastest growing markets in photography is baby portraits. Babies convert so quickly that many mothers are willing to pay for some sessions within the first year. This creates an opening for a photographer to sell yearly packages which can be quite profitable. For obvious reasons photographing babies requires a dissimilar approach then photographing a wedding or a Senior Portrait. Babies have some extra needs. While this report is not exhaustive attempt to recap the best way to picture babies, it does supply some foremost ideas.
1. One effective way to get a baby's head, or head and naked chest shots, have the parent sit on the floor with her knees bent (the baby can still be wearing his diaper). Have the parent sit the baby on her knees and hold onto the baby at the waist. This allows the baby to be upright, without danger of falling, in the arms of a person he trusts. Hence he is safe (from falls), can be honestly be prodded to laugh and riposte and feels safe (sometimes scary for a baby to be on a set). In addition, since you are only shooting the head and upper body, the parent will not show up at all in the picture.
Baby Hats
2. Have a range of dissimilar hats to use as props (or have the client bring some of their beloved baby hats). Images of chubby nude babies in hats are big sellers.
3. When babies are struggling to sit up, have the parent sit the baby up and then sit slightly to the side of the baby so they can straighten the baby when she begins to wobble and fall.
4. In your instructions to the parent make sure you indicate they bring some outfits for their baby.
5. Buy a feather brush with a long handle. These are great for tickling a baby's (or older child's) nose to coax out a smile and quickly removing the object before the picture is taken.
