How to choose a Newborn Photographer in Utah
People from Utah are a very industrious, “do it yourself” type of people. This atmosphere has created so many mom bosses and entrepreneurs, making new photographers pop up on every corner what seems like weekly. So how do you choose who take photos of your precious new baby? Here are some things to consider.
Newborn Photography is a niche that takes years of practice to perfect. Make sure, that when you are choosing someone to capture your baby’s first portraits, that you choose with these things in mind: aesthetics, experience, training, artistry, style, what can the studio offer…props & clothing? product options? and overall are you a good fit? Is your photographer someone you want to spend 3 + hours with? Because newborn photography isn’t a quick snap experience, it’s an art! Choose wisely! Em J Photography would love to be your 1st choice, a choice you won’t regret!
Obviously aesthetics are important. Choose someone who’s work you love. Find someone who can create art to fit the style of your home and your personal brand. Find someone who’s work makes you feel something. Of course babies are cute no matter what. You will have thousands of snapshots of your little one on your phone and personal camera, but find someone that can create art for you that will be more than that.
Decide what you want from your session. Do you want someone who just gives you digital files that get thrown on social media and forgotten? Or do you want to find someone that can help you customize a session to create art that fits right into your nursery and home decor. Someone that will create the perfect keepsake archival album or image box that those little hands will help you look through with you year after year after year remembering with you how tiny and sweet they were when they were brand new. Can’t you just imagine the smiles and conversations you’ll have!
Consider Experience. Do you want the friend who just bought a nice camera to practice on your newborn, or do you want someone who is trying out the genre without safety training or knowledge of posing and styling? Or do you want someone experienced , (7 years | over 200 babies) posing & safety trained (instructor of other newborn photographers) with a excellent assistant to help keep baby safety as first priority in your session.
Do you want one more thing to have to plan and worry about when you are a new exhausted mama, going on very little sleep and trying to find the balance in every day? Do you want to have to gather outfits and props? Or do you want to sit back, relax and know that every little detail of your session is in capable hands. When you hire Em J Photography all props and clothing are provided, you’ll discus your dream session and customize all the details long before baby has arrived. All you have to do is show up with that darling little bundle and hand him/her off and watch the magic unfold!
We want your Newborn Photography Experience to be dreamy. We want you to be able to trust that you will get every pose and image you are hoping for and that the images captured will be masterfully turned into art for your home and family to enjoy for decades. Something to pass down in generations, something for your children’s grandchildren to see and touch and treasure.
Investing in your memories is something you won’t regret! Do you regret having beautiful wedding photos? (You probably regret it if you don’t) A new baby is just as big a moment as your wedding day! These moments when your baby is tiny and new are so fleeting and something you will want to remember. Moments like these are worth the investment of artwork and tangible, touchable, archival quality products. You’ll never regret having such wonderful memories to look at and touch daily. Digital files are a fantastic way to archive in the case of disaster (we provide archival files with every print purchased) but digital files printed at your local box store are not an ideal way to display your art.
At Em J Photography we take pride in creating fine art images. Emily spends hours on galleries making every image perfect so that your art in your home will be something you treasure and want to share with all your friends and family. These images deserve an archival (long lasting) quality medium of display. Our albums, image boxes and fine art prints are made with quality and longevity in mind. We choose only the best printers and labs to guarantee your images are lasting and beautiful.
So when choosing your photographer from the Utah masses, keep us in mind. Know that we care about your experience with us, we care about your family and capturing moments that matter to you. We love to create art for homes, not brags for social media (though those are provided too). We might not be the perfect match for everyone, but if you are looking for more than just snap shots to post on facebook or insta, we’d love to sit down with you and discuss your dream session, and all the beautiful details of creating art from your memories!
And if you are not in our area, and want someone good, we’d be happy to refer other incredible Utah Newborn Photographers to you. We know the best of the best here in Utah.
