Start by asking family and friends who they had a photographers in the past. Ask them what their thoughts were; personable, photos, professionalism and more. Then proceed to do your own research. Search their social media sites and websites. Take a look at some of their examples and what their reviews reveal about their photo sessions. 

Less is More 

When it comes to photographing your newborn less is more. Your baby is at such a natural and beautiful part of their new life that it is something you do not want to cloud with over editing or excessive props. Finding a newborn photographer who uses a light hand with photoshop is something to look for when searching for a newborn photographer. 

Products

Knowing what the photographer has for products available is very important to consider. Knowing what you wish to do with your photos (canvas prints, photo books, digital images, copyright release, etc.) and ensuring the photographer offers these products is something you should look into before making a decision. This allows for a wide variety of options when it comes to what you may wish to do with these photographs in the future.

Get to Know Them

Give your potential photographer a call and ask them about their process, prices, experience and any other questions you may have. This is a great way to get to know the photographer and see if your personalities match. A photo session should be a fun way to preserve memories of the new addition to your family and finding someone who can not only capture this, but grow with your family over time is a key factor in building a lifelong relationship with your photographer.
