Newborn Photographer Loughton

Few common questions from parents are: how long a newborn photography session last? Why some photographers takes 3 to 4 hours? What is minimal and timeless newborn photography? Why my sessions will only take one and half to two hours maximum.

The answer to this questions depends from different factors. Let me walk through them so you will have a better understanding. This post hopefully will help you make your decision on which session to go for.

Most newborns need to be fed and changed every two or three hour

I am sure you have already read all the blogs about new-borns and what to expect. So you must be aware that most new-borns need to be fed and changed every two or three hours.

If you are booking a session that lasts 3 to 4 hours you will be spending some time at the session feeding, changing and in calming your baby down. Unfortunately the only way that they can communicate at this stage is through crying. So, do not expect 4 hours of camera time but parents will be spending part of the shoot settling the baby down and put him/her back to sleep.

Photographers need time to change settings and props

Another factor that influences time is changing settings, moving props and positioning your baby back into these. It is quite common that between the moves the baby will wake up, so parents will have to settle the baby down in order to  carry on with the shoot.

So why my photography session only last one and half to two hours at Newborn Photographer Loughton

My style is minimal and timeless

Since my style doesn’t require the use of strange settings or funny props, helps creating minimal and timeless newborn smooth efficient sessions reducing interruptions and unsettled babies. This approach inevitably impacts on the session time. This doesn’t mean that you get less value for money, it is just not a four hours session where in you would normally spend half of the time calming your baby down and feeding.

The reality versus the experience

I have been there and I can tell you that in the first few weeks you will probably be in your sleep-deprived-new-parents-state. Which it means you are already tired even before coming to the photoshoot. (I felt like I had a constant hangover from the tiredness). So by using my time effectively and producing minimal and timeless newborn images, I want to make sure that there will be minimum disruption and that parents will have an enjoyable experience. Because let’s face it, four hours it’s exhausting for everybody even if you have had a good night sleep!

The Perfect Formula for timeless newborn photography

In a nutshell, my perfect photoshoot formula to produce minimal and timeless newborn images is: keep it short, but not rushed, relaxed and to keep everyone happy. Because Happy Baby= Happy Parents + Happy Parents= Happy Photographer ;0)
