how to hire the best fit : newborn baby photographer

When it comes to capturing and preserving the memories of your family, there's nothing like a professional photo shoot. Hiring a professional newborn photographer is an investment that pays off in priceless photos that you'll cherish for years to come. At VenusGirl Photography, we've seen how much joy our Santa Cruz-area clients get from their beautiful family portraits.

Finding a good newborn photographer is important to capture those adorable moments of your baby's early days. Here are some simple tips to help you find the right one to entrust this moment in time. At VenusGirl Photography we know you only get this one chance to grab these captures.

A skilled newborn photographer has experience, expertise, and a way with babies.

Ask for Recommendations: Talk to friends, family and parent groups for recommendations. People who had a positive experience will be happy to share the photographer's details.

In addition, look for reviews on websites, social media, or local parenting forums. Reviews can give you insights into the photographer's style, professionalism, and how well they work with babies.

A professional newborn photographer will have a varied portfolio.

Browse Portfolios: Check out the photographer's portfolio to see their previous newborn sessions. This will help you understand their style and if it aligns with what you're looking for.

With experience comes session expertise: They will also plan out the photoshoot ahead of time to ensure that the session runs seamlessly for you and your baby.  This minimizes taking away any precious time you are needing for your new little one and allowing you to relax and enjoy the moment.

A professional baby photographer practices safe measures and is an investment for a good reason

Check out Pricing, Packages, and Availability: Have a conversation about the photographer's pricing and packages. Ensure there are no hidden costs and that it fits your budget. Photography is a learned art that comes with extensive experience. It’s also something your family will reflect back on forever so make sure you are hiring the best fit for these special times.

Confirm their availability - Many photographers fill up ahead of time, before your baby’s birth. Newborn photography is typically done when your baby is between 5 and 21 days old, the ideal period for newborn photoshoots.
