Choosing the Right Newborn Photographer: A Guide for Parents
The first days with your newborn are filled with love, wonder, and the tiniest details you never want to forget. Choosing the right photographer means turning those fleeting moments into forever memories.
Welcoming a newborn into your family is one of life’s most precious moments—a time filled with love, wonder, and countless firsts. Capturing these fleeting days with professional photography ensures you’ll have timeless images to cherish forever. But with so many photographers to choose from, how do you find the perfect fit for your family? Here’s what to consider when selecting a newborn photographer.
1. Experience & Safety First
Your newborn’s safety should always be the top priority. A professional newborn photographer should have experience handling, posing, and soothing newborns, ensuring a safe and comfortable session. Look for someone who is fully insured, trained in newborn safety, and experienced in working with babies of all temperaments.
At Blink of Light Photography, newborn safety is at the heart of every session. As a fully insured and trained photographer, I ensure your little one is always safe, cozy, and comfortable.
The beauty of a newborn session isn’t just in the tiny details—it’s in the love, the snuggles, and the connection that makes your family whole.
2. Photography Style & Aesthetic
Every photographer has a unique style—some focus on posed portraits, while others embrace a more natural, lifestyle approach. Before booking, browse their portfolio to ensure their aesthetic aligns with your vision. Do you love soft, dreamy setups or minimalistic, neutral tones?
My style is timeless, heartwarming, and elegant—creating soft, artistic images that celebrate your baby’s delicate features and family’s love.

3. Studio vs. In-Home Sessions
Some photographers offer home sessions, while others have a dedicated studio space with carefully curated props and lighting. Consider what setting makes you most comfortable and what aligns with your desired look.
Blink of Light Photography offers a cozy home studio in the Hills District of Sydney, designed specifically for newborn sessions. The space is warm, welcoming, and fully equipped with everything needed for a stress-free experience.
4. What’s Included in the Package?
Your memories deserve more than just a screen—let’s create timeless keepsakes that you can hold, cherish, and pass down for generations.
Photography packages vary widely. Some include only digital images, while others offer printed products like albums and wall art. Consider what’s most important to you—do you want a handful of digital photos, or are you looking for heirloom-quality keepsakes?
I offer a variety of packages, from simple digital collections to luxury heirloom albums, allowing you to choose what best suits your needs.
5. Reviews & Testimonials
One of the best ways to gauge a photographer’s expertise is by reading client reviews. Look for feedback that highlights professionalism, patience, and the overall experience.
Clients often describe their experience at Blink of Light Photography as warm, relaxing, and stress-free—something I take great pride in!
6. Availability & Booking Process
Newborn sessions are best scheduled within the first two weeks of life when babies are sleepiest and easiest to pose. Many photographers book months in advance, so it’s essential to secure your session early.
Spots fill quickly, so I recommend booking during your second trimester to ensure availability.
7. Connection & Comfort
Your newborn photographer will be handling your baby for hours—so it’s important that you feel comfortable with them! A great photographer should make you feel at ease, guide you through the process, and ensure an enjoyable experience.
I understand how emotional and overwhelming the newborn stage can be, and I strive to create a nurturing, relaxed environment for both parents and baby.
