Breastfeeding

Photographs of moms breastfeeding their baby are a great way to empower moms and to help remove the stigma around breastfeeding. As people continue to normalize breastfeeding in public places or use breastfeeding as a way for moms to develop connections with their baby, photographs of breastfeeding come with a new level of importance. They can be intimate or empowering photographs.

Baby at the hospital.

Sometimes, there are opportunities for you to be able to go inside the hospital after the mother has given birth and photograph these moments. Some mom’s will have a photographer capture the birth itself. These moments are precious and fleeting and truly an honor to be a part of, so be in the moment and be respectful as you photograph the first time the family meets their newborn.

Baby in a basket.

Baskets are a simple and effective prop to use in your next baby photography session. They leave room for a lot of creativity in the kind of photographs you take, allowing you to play with the colors of the blankets in the basket, pairing them with what the baby is wearing, or also, any other props that you choose to put around the basket. Having the baby in a basket also allows you to take stand-alone pictures of the baby.
