Safety in Southampton Newborn Photography and Why It Should Be Important to Clients:
Newborn Photography Is An Unregulated Industry
Newborn photography is an unregulated industry. This means that newborn photographers can freely practice without any training or concern about safety whatsoever. A professional newborn photographer will discuss their training, years of experience, safety practices and whether they are insured or not. There is no university course for newborn photography training but there are forerunners of newborn photography who hold newborn photography workshops to teach how to safely pose and photograph a newborn.
Newborn Photography Can Be Dangerous If You Don’t Know How to Pose A Newborn Correctly
There are many risky poses and it is important that a newborn photographer know how to photograph them correctly and safety without putting your precious newborn at risk. Choosing the Southampton newborn photographer with the cheapest pricing isn’t always best as you want to do your research and ask about their experience with newborns and if they know how to pose baby safely.
What Experience With Newborn Safe Posing Does “Kirstin Witney Photography” Have?
I’ve worked with newborns for 10 years and photographed over 1000 newborns. I have training from some of the world’s best newborn photographers from the UK, America and Australia. For many years I was a studio newborn photographer who focused on posed newborn images with props before moving back to natural newborn photography. My years of experience in posed newborn photography has helped me know how to safely pose newborns, handle and soothe newborns.
I’m often called the “baby whisperer” by parents as I know how to create the perfect environments to get a sleepy, happy and comfortable baby. Safety is my main priority and I will never do an unsafe pose. I love my transition back into natural lifestyle newborn photography as there is less of a worry of doing complicated posing, you are only posing baby how they feel most comfortable and practically letting them pose themselves!
When choosing a newborn photographer in Southampton, ask about their safety training, their experience and how long they’ve been photographing newborns. I promise you, experience with newborns counts in newborn photography!
