Good family photos with your baby with me as your photographer in my studio

What makes good family photos?

Good family photos are honest and authentic. They show you and your family as you see your family. Be yourself - in the end, the photos will only be seen in your home. Wear your favorite sweater or come in your best summer dress. Give your children the choice too. Don't say: "the day after tomorrow we're taking photos at the photographer's, you have to look neat". Instead, ask: "The day after tomorrow we're having photos taken by the photographer, what would you like to wear then?". This creates a good atmosphere beforehand and also during the photo shoot and means that everyone can contribute their own ideas and think for themselves about what they want for photos and how they can achieve this. Ask your child what their favorite thing is to play with their new sibling and bring the toy to the shoot. This will give you unique photos and real interaction between your two children, which you can admire in your photos for a long time to come.

Why a family shoot with a photographer in the studio?

Children are demanding models who should be approached creatively. Children also have expectations, demands and ideas for the shoot. These ideas can be quickly addressed in the studio, as everything is ready to implement your children's photo ideas. In addition, everything is stable and safe and cannot injure your children. Photo flashes and tripods in the mobile studio are very unstable and easy to overlook when a little whirlwind whizzes through the room. The new environment is exciting for your children and a small play area keeps them entertained while a new scene is being set up or a photo is being taken by their parents. A photo studio therefore allows for creativity and safety. A subsequent photo with a pregnancy belly painted by the sibling during the shoot would have been simply impossible at home, but in the photo studio special foil prevents the paint from being everywhere afterwards.

Good family photos with me as your photographer at home

Good family photos need time and peace and quiet. Your baby wants to be breastfed and sleeps often and for long periods. At home, this offers plenty of time to breastfeed and change the baby in a familiar atmosphere while I prepare other scenes. In addition, more extensive equipment can be set up and used at home than would be possible in hospital. What's more, your baby is still too bloated and tired from the strenuous journey in hospital.

What are family photos?

Family photos are best taken immediately after the birth, you might think. However, family photos can be taken up to the 21st day of life, as from then on newborns lose their unique newborn appearance and look like babies.

When are family photos taken?

Family photos are photos taken immediately after birth, you might think. But immediately after birth, newborns usually still have a lot of water retention, which they need for the first few days of life. Therefore, the best time is between the 14th and 21st day of life. This gives mother and child time to recover and get to know each other.

Family photos through preparation

The best time for a family photo shoot is between the 14th and 21st day after birth. This is when your baby's initial water retention has subsided and you can refresh yourself a little to fully enjoy the photo shoot. It is good to discuss the photo shoot in peace and quiet before the birth to know which photos will be taken. You also want as much rest as possible after the birth to get to know your new family member, recover from the birth in the postpartum period and take care of them.

A baby shoot with siblings can take the whole day. Depending on how many scenes are taken and the natural daily rhythm of the little model and the mood of your child. The photo shoot is best started after the first breastfeeding and nap with stylized photos. This has the huge advantage that your baby is just waking up and slowly opening its eyes, looking sleepily and curiously into the camera. This results in natural and wonderful photos of newborns.

Photos with backdrops through scenes

The first nap in the shoot results in beautiful sleeping photos of your baby, such as swaddled in a basket. The prop is also the backdrop and 10 different pillows create the perfect position for the baby.

And it gives me time to prepare more extensive scenes. Depending on your wishes, a family photo can be created in which the sleeping baby is marveled at by the family.

Or your baby can become a professor. Gently resting with the essential birth data naturally embedded in the photo. This results in very beautiful individual birth cards, as the birth data and name do not have to be written in plumb or squeezed into a prefabricated format.

Family photos with backdrop with 3D letters

I can also provide you with the name as 3D letters. The baby's name is shown here as 3D letters in the picture and the colors of the Mexican flag in the background. Mit 3D Buchstaben kann der Name Ihres Babys in jedes Bild integriert werden und die Buchstaben bleiben dann in Ihrem Besitz und sind die perfekte Dekoration fürs Kinderzimmer oder auch für die Wand des Kinderzimmers. Dabei drucke ich den Namen aus bio-basiertem und biologisch kompostierbarem PLA dieser enthält und setzte im Test auch bei Erhitzung keinerlei Schadstoffe frei. und kann also bedenkenlos beim Shooting neben dem Baby stehen und danach im Kinderzimmer als Dekoration verbleiben, auch wenn ich es als Spielzeug natürlich nicht empfehle.

I am happy to be at your disposal as a photographer for a baby shoot with extensive photos. You can contact me at any time. We can also talk about how you can prepare individual backdrops yourself to get the most beautiful backdrop and the most beautiful photo. The prices listed here are based on experience from previous shoots and may be reduced depending on the scope and combination with other scenes. This is because a large part of the price is the journey, the set-up and the technology. Whether 2 or 5 scenes are done is entirely up to you. The main thing is that the goal is achieved, namely to take unique photos of your newborn treasure that you will enjoy looking at for a long time to come.
