Expecting parents have a lot to plan for to prepare for a new baby. In addition to getting the nursery ready and making sure the car seat is properly installed, many mothers- and fathers-to-be are now also scheduling newborn photography before their little ones are born. Discover some reasons to consider booking a session for your newborn below.

3 Reasons to Book a Newborn Photographer 

1. Capture the Brief Newborn Stage

Babies grow quickly, and their appearance changes on a near-daily basis in the beginning. Newborns’ tiny fingers and toes will only stay so small for a brief time, and while you’ll undoubtedly soak in these moments, you’ll want to be able to look back on them, too. Having the incredible, fleeting first days of a baby’s life professionally photographed will provide you with memories you can cherish for a lifetime.

2. Create Images for Birth Announcements

If you’re seeking a creative way to officially announce your little one’s debut, newborn photography is the perfect option. Whether it’s in the hospital, your own home, or another preferred location, your photographer can come to you during these early days and take beautiful photographs that you can then share among family members, friends, and coworkers. If you’ve waited to send out thank-you notes for baby shower gifts, newborn photos are also perfect for personalized cards and prints.

3. Benefit From Professional Expertise

If you’re like most new parents, you’ll spend plenty of time taking photos of your baby with your smartphone. Yet, only a practiced family photographer can capture their tiny fingers, toes, and sleepy faces in stunning detail, working the right angles and lighting to snap the best shots of your newborn. In addition to their skills and talent, they also have the best tools, from cameras to editing software, to ensure the highest-quality photographs possible.
