What is Newborn Photography?

Newborn photography, otherwise known as baby photography, is the art of capturing portraits of a newborn baby, usually within the first month of birth.

Besides technical and creative photography skills, newborn photography requires a specialized skillset that includes soothing a baby, wrapping a baby and posing a baby safely.

Many photographers combine newborn photography services with other family portrait photography services like Maternity Photography and Family Portraits.
