Newborn photography is one of the hottest topics in the photography
world. It is an ever growing trend amongst both new moms and
photographers. There are many well known newborn and infant
photographers with their work being published, and newer photographers
desiring to achieve the same shots, poses, etc; sometimes at the request
of their clients and sometimes simply for the challenge. However, with
this comes the stories of endangered or even harmed babies.
Because we live in an on-line world, these stories spread like wildfire. This has been a good thing, in that there is more and more focus on educating new photographers on newborn safety. Some inexperienced photographers are seeking and receiving mentoring on newborn safety while others are giving up and only photographing older subjects to avoid the risk. However, because there are so many people becoming photographers each month, there are still others that are new and taking risks unknowingly. Most parents are unaware of how some of these risky, yet beautiful and intriguing poses are achieved. What is even worse, is that many photographers are unaware of how they are done properly, and naively attempt to do them anyway. Hopefully they will gain the knowledge and expertise before an infant is harmed, but in the meantime, I'd like to educate new moms, or expectant mothers, that are seeking a photographer for their new sweet baby.
