2. Parents
It’s easy to focus solely on the baby during a newborn shooting mit eltern, but remember that the parents are a big part of the experience too! Making them feel comfortable and prepared will make the whole process smoother and result in better photos.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Communicate clearly beforehand. Discuss expectations, clothing options, and the overall style of the shoot.
- Encourage them to relax and enjoy the moment. A stressed parent can make the baby feel uneasy.
- Be patient and understanding. New parents are often tired and adjusting to a new routine.
Remember, the goal is to capture beautiful memories for the family. A little extra effort in making the parents feel at ease can go a long way.
Think about suggesting clothing options that complement the baby’s outfits. Solid colors often work best, avoiding busy patterns that can distract from the main subject. Consider these points:
- Suggest neutral tones like grays, creams, or soft pastels.
- Advise them to wear comfortable clothing that they can easily move around in.
- Remind them that they’ll likely be holding the baby for a good portion of the shoot, so comfort is key.
