"With the low cost of SLR cameras, more and more amateur photographers are starting their own home-based photography businesses; however, what's alarming is the number of these photographers who haven't been formally trained or mentored in newborn photography," said Jennifer Blakeley, who recently launched NewbornPhotography.com, a website dedicated to helping new parents find the industries top photographers with her business partner Keri Meyers.
NewbornPhotography.com allows professionally trained newborn photographers to sign up for an account, and the site's search function allows new parents to easily view and find a reputable newborn photographer in their area. The best time to book a newborn photographer is while you're still pregnant.
"In the current economy and with the easy availability of advanced cameras, a lot of new parents are looking to take their own pictures of their newborn baby. Although we always recommend you hire a professional newborn photographer, we have developed some tips for those looking to handle the photo shoot independently, but most importantly, safely," said Keri Meyers.
Keri & Jen's Top Do-It Yourself 5 Newborn Photography tips are as follows:
1) Babies can be "jumpy", so have someone within arm's reach of baby at all times.
2) Turn off your camera's flash and use a large window with indirect sunlight.
3) Make sure the room is very warm. Use a space heater if needed, but avoid having heat directly on the baby.
4) Use white noise (i.e. hair dryer, vacuum cleaner, or iPhone app).
5) Keep it simple - dress the baby in a neutral sleeper or diaper cover.
