5 Reasons Why New Parents Should Invest in a Newborn Photo Session + Photos of Tony’s Beautiful Daughter – Newborn Series [SPONSORED]

Taking good pictures is an art and having a professional photographer with a trained eye and the creativity to visualize a beautiful unique photo is worth the extra cost. Stacey came with props and photo ideas that she wanted to do with Rose, for instance in this shot, Stacey prepared some fake plastic roses and knew exactly what she wanted to do with the shot. Getting Rose to cooperate was another thing, I think Rose went "number two" on the roses if I remember right, but Stacey remained patient and eventually got the picture, and it looks great!

If you're having your first baby, you may not realize how little time you're about to have. You're not going to have time to take quality pictures or maybe take any pictures at all unless someone is visiting or maybe when your new little bundle of joy is sleeping you might be able to snap a few pictures, but to be honest taking pictures or video was the last thing on my mind the first week or so. Making an appointment and knowing that time is coming is comforting and it allows you to concentrate on other things, like enjoying time with your new son or daughter, and that is priceless.

I guarantee that you won't be able to get a nice quality, frame-able picture from your smart phone, go ahead and use any phone or any app, it just won't happen. Additionally, point and shoot cameras have come along way and are great for day to day picture taking and 75% of the time you'll be happy with the results, but for those big occasions, oh like being BORN, you want to be 100% sure that you're getting the best pictures. This goes with the photo printing as well, getting pictures printed at Walgreens or Walmart or any online service like Snapfish won't even compare, trust me I've done my homework on this, to ensure your pictures look the best they can, have a professional, like LaCoursiere Photography print them. This is probably may favorite picture of my little angel, isn't she perfect?

To get the best posed newborn pictures it's best to have them done within 10 days of birth, and of course there are several considerations when handling a newborn baby, you can just flop them around and pose them how you want, it is important to be safe and have patience, being an excellent mom herself, Stacey is well aware of the precautions to take when handling a newborn, she was incredibly careful and we were very comfortable letting her handle Rose during the session. Safety is especially an issue when doing pictures like this, it takes a special touch and some other photography tricks to accomplish this shot.

And the most important reason why you need to get newborn pictures done by a professional is the memories, you'll have a hard time remembering how tiny and precious your son or daughter was. They grow SO fast, it's hard to believe looking at the picture below that she was this small just 6 months ago. You'll regret not investing in professional photos if you decide not to take my advice, and unless you have a time machine you won't have the chance to change your mind.
