"Photography is reliving" say the experts. Perhaps that is why at every pivotal moment in life, human beings choose to freeze those moments. Just as it happens in weddings or big gatherings, the newborn photo session is the order of the day.
The practice born in the USA is known as newborn photography, more and more photographers are leaning towards this field, each with a defined aesthetic but with a common goal: to highlight the natural beauty of each newborn.
Who can forget the tender photographic productions of the pioneer Anne Geddes. Established in the 90s, she set trends through her children's portraits, creating imaginary worlds where babies become bees, butterflies, fairies, and other fantastic characters. Currently, the trend is to conduct minimalist photo sessions using fabric backdrops or plain textures, more neutral colors where the baby is nude without many accessories.
Our style is organic-natural, we use pastel and neutral colors trying to ensure the newborn is always the protagonist, to highlight the baby's figure, their face, hands, little bottom, and rolls, "all those things that make us fall in love with a newborn."
The sessions last approximately 3 hours and the big secret is to wait for the baby to fall deeply asleep and then, let's get to work!
The "white noises" - that is - those that reproduce sounds of the sea, rain, or birds are great allies to relax them, as these rhythms resemble those heard inside their mother's belly.
When to conduct the session? The best time to photograph babies is during the 6 to 12 days of life approximately. This stage is ideal to achieve positions similar to those the baby made inside their mother's womb. Newborns are happy when they are curled up because that's how they've been until that moment," plus, they sleep approximately 18 hours and still don't have colics, reflux, or other types of discomfort.
Since this practice has its origins in the USA, the positions have names in English like Froggy (little frog) bum up (bottom up) chin on hands (face down with hands under the chin). The fundamental thing is to ensure the baby's safety and comfort to achieve better results. In the productions, accessories like crochet elements, wool blankets, and wooden boxes that recreate a bed can be incorporated.
However, professionals have their favorites. The ones we like the most are those that convey something more than a baby lying down; portraits in the hands of their parents fascinate us because they convey that fragility that characterizes a newborn.
Non-posed poses also work where the baby yawns, stretches, or makes a face.
It is very important to keep in mind that we are experts in handling newborns; besides being mothers, we are experienced professionals in the field. It is a delicate task, and we follow the method and advice of Dr. Harvey Karp, a nationally renowned pediatrician and child development specialist.
Themes:
The trend is to capture the baby naturally, but many times creative elements can be used to adorn like puffs, boxes, buckets, armchairs, or any element where the baby can rest in a relaxed manner in a "vintage" style. Accessories such as blankets, hats, headbands, and little crowns are also used.
Including siblings, parents, and family members is another way to create a perfect memory for a lifetime. The connection that exists between twin siblings is reflected in the portraits, naturally hugging or holding hands just like in the maternal womb.
