Behind the Scenes: Unveiling the Magic of Newborn Photoshoots

If you’re considering a newborn photoshoot with Sayan Photography, you’re in for a magical experience capturing those precious early moments of your baby’s life. Let’s take a peek behind the scenes to understand the process that goes into creating those adorable portraits.

Step 1: On the Day of the Photoshoot

Upon your arrival at Sayan Photography’s studio in Broadstone, Poole, you’ll receive a warm welcome. We’ll take the time for you and your baby to settle in, provide a studio tour, and sort out any necessary paperwork. Feel free to share any preferences, such as color choices for the photos. The studio is intentionally kept warm (around 24 degrees) to ensure your baby’s comfort during undressing and wrapping.

Step 2: Settling the Baby to Sleep

Once everyone is comfortable, I take over to settle your baby to sleep gently. This ensures we can capture those adorable ‘sleeping baby’ style photos without disturbing them.

Step 3: Swaddling for Comfort

Babies love to be swaddled, creating a sense of safety and security. Using a skin-colored stretch wrap and an additional wrap for aesthetics, I carefully ensure your baby’s comfort and proper positioning while prioritizing their safety.

Step 4: Positioning for Photography

With your baby now swaddled and comfortable, I’ll position them in various props like cushions, buckets, or baskets, all of which are carefully weighted to eliminate any risk. For certain poses, I might request your hand support, which will be edited out in post-processing.

Step 5: Capturing a Variety of Photos

For each setup, I capture a multitude of photos to provide you with a diverse selection. From detailed close-ups of tiny fingers and toes to wider-angle shots, every moment is carefully crafted. The setups and color schemes are kept simple to keep the focus on your precious little one.

Step 6: Editing the Magic

Once the photoshoot is complete, I commence the editing process. While I avoid excessive manipulation that compromises the natural look, I edit out minor imperfections like stray hairs, red patches, or flaky skin, ensuring your baby’s natural beauty shines through.

Step 7: Viewing and Ordering

After the editing process, you’ll receive a link to your online gallery. Alternatively, you can schedule an in-studio appointment to view the images on a large screen. This personalized session allows you to select and order images, with no pressure tactics—just genuine assistance in choosing the perfect portraits.

Conclusion

A Sayan Photography newborn photoshoot is not just about capturing images; it’s a curated experience filled with warmth, care, and creativity. To secure your baby’s newborn session, reach out as early as possible, ideally around your 20-week scan. Let’s create timeless memories together.
