There are three basic things I would never do as a photographer, as a mum, or simply as anyone handling a newborn baby.
The first is kissing them. That is an absolute no.
The second is wearing strong perfume. You never know whether a baby may be sensitive or allergic to a fragrance, and perfume can also transfer onto their skin and potentially cause irritation or a rash.
The third is wearing my hair down while I’m handling your baby. I don’t want my hair falling onto their face, getting near their mouth, or coming into contact with them unnecessarily.
They may seem like small things, but they all come back to one priority: keeping your baby as safe and comfortable as possible during the session.
