Tiny toes, big memories
The first year with your baby is a blur of firsts first smile, first giggle, first steps. Photos help freeze those moments in time, giving you memories to look back on long after the baby stage has passed. But how do you choose the right photographer for something so personal?
What to look for in a newborn photographer
- Safety first → Make sure your photographer is trained in safe newborn posing and keeps the studio clean and warm.
- Style that speaks to you → Do you love dreamy, posed images with props? Or more candid, lifestyle photos at home? Browse portfolios to see what feels right.
- Experience with babies → Working with newborns requires patience and skill ask how many sessions they’ve done and what their process is like.
- Flexibility on timing → The best newborn shots are often taken within the first 2 weeks, but milestone sessions (3, 6, 12 months) matter too.
- Local recommendations → South Florida has a vibrant community of photographers. Look for reviews in parent groups and marketplaces.
South Florida favorites
Some well-loved options include:
- Genny Lynn Photography (Fort Lauderdale/Miami) → Artistic newborn and milestone photography.
- Naomi Bluth Photography (Boca Raton) → Specializes in newborn and family lifestyle sessions.
- Jennifer Ariel Photography (Palm Beach) → Known for soft, fine art newborn portraits.
Tips for parents
- Bring a few sentimental items (like a blanket from grandma) for personal touches.
- Schedule early popular photographers book out before your due date.
- Don’t stress about “perfect” outfits neutral tones and cozy textures photograph beautifully.
