The main rule when photographing babies and children under one year is comfort. The baby should not be scared, hurt, uncomfortable or cold. And next must be mom and dad.

This is a special type of shooting and a special direction in photography. You need to carefully look for a photographer specializing in photographing newborns. Usually, they have everything they need for photo shoots: special backgrounds, hats, blankets, baskets and other accessories. They know how to put the baby to sleep, put him in the right position, which angle will be better, - says photographer Nadezhda Knyazeva. - When the baby starts holding his head well and lies calmly on his stomach, and then sits confidently - the best time for real shooting. The child is not walking yet, so there are more opportunities to take a good shot. A photo studio or your apartment are more suitable for such shootings.

This could be a walk along the park alleys, or a game on the playground, or even riding a bike. The photos will be lively and emotional, - Nadezhda Knyazeva sums up.

It is better to come another day. Perhaps something is bothering him (teeth, tummy); - it is very good if you constantly go to the same photographer, the baby will already know this person and behave calmly. By the way, one more important point. Be careful when photographing other people's children (especially if they are children of other cultures or nationalities). Perhaps the beliefs of their parents do not allow a white person to look at or touch a child at all. If you want to take pictures, ask permission!
