Despite what people claim- there are NO LEGITIMATE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER CERTIFICATIONS currently available.

Things to ask when looking for a newborn photographer:

1) How long have then been they been in NEWBORN photography? Not just photography in general. I photographed more photographers babies than almost any other clients. Photographer doesn’t mean newborn photographer. It’s definitely a niche market and requires a ton of training and experience.
(7+ years in highly recommend)

2) Do they have their OWN studio and offer all the props and wraps?
Yes, please. Dedicated newborn photographers provide quality props and wraps that are either created specifically for newborn photography or they have the knowledge of what type to purchase and HOW to use them without compromising newborn safety. There are things to watch for when wrapping and posing newborns to keep them safe.

3) How much do they charge?
Newborn photographers who aren’t charging very much, don’t have enough experience. Period. Why? Legit newborn photographers pay taxes, because they are legitimate businesses. If they charge taxes, you can pretty much guarantee they are experienced.
They care to run their business the right way. You get what you pay for is definitely accurate in photography.

4) INSURANCE
If they don’t have legitimate insurance DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM.
If they have insurance, there is a way way better chance that they are running a real business and have enough experience to know that they need it.

5) If they offer quality products like prints, albums, etc, that are coming from their personal printers,they are a legitimate business.
Why does this make a difference? If your photographer offers products, usually they are registered to have a business with the federal government. This is because in order to print with real, quality, professional printers, you have to have a tax number registered with the government.

If you are looking for a newborn photographer PLEASE for the love of all things, ASK!!! I will send you to the most experienced newborn photographers in the state of Utah. If you aren’t in Utah, that’s ok!! I have friends WORLDWIDE that are experienced and can give you the best experience possible.

Please don’t put your newborn in the hands of someone who could potentially mishandle your precious baby.

Peace out. It’s official. I’m closing the studio! I did my last session today.
My kids need that space and we aren’t able to move so it is what it is. I’m so grateful for my clients and all the memories I helped make! On to a new chapter!

Isn’t she cute?!

Did you know you can always schedule a baby session, no matter what age they are? Different ages get different results and they are just as beautiful as when they are 5-14 days old. You may not get specific newborn poses, but you’ll always get some amazing, canvas worthy, images.
