A few tips on how to photograph your new baby during COVID 19 ~ Carly Murray Photography

Sun, 12 Apr 2020 23:52:58 GMT

I sit here on this Easter Sunday thinking about all of the moms and dads who have just welcomed or are getting ready to deliver a baby during this pandemic. I can't imagine the stress and everything you are dealing with. Worried about your health, the health of your new baby and, on top of that, just the birthing process in general. Please know I am thinking about all of you and sending so many good thoughts your way. I know photography isn't essential right now and I absolutely understand the need for us to be shut down but my photographer heart breaks for all the moms and dads with new babies that aren't able to get those first photos. The sessions they had dreamed of and booked months in advance or planned to have taken at hospital. I have had a few clients ask me if I have any tips to help them make these memories. Below I put together a few quick tips that I hope might help.

1) Find the light! Natural light will be your best bet. Flash from a phone or camera is really harsh and unnatural looking and tends to wash out some of those itty bitty details you want to remember: the flaky skin, wrinkles, fuzzy baby hair, etc. Open up all the shades and get as close to the window as you can.

2) Shadows are your friend. Lighting baby from the side or top of the head down is most flattering. Soft shadows or even deep shadows can really define a photo and little features and keep the images from looking flat. Back lit images are some of my favorites as well.

3) Remember the details. Of course baby's face is the cutest <3 but don't forget the hands, toes, belly buttons, top of the heads, side profiles, fuzzy ears, and pouty lips. Those are the things that are fleeting and change before your eyes.

4) It's no secret babies like to be warm, keep them cozy and if all else fails swaddle!

5) Less is more. A white onesie or side snap shirt are my favorite things to put baby in. You can really see baby's little body. They might not love being unwrapped so swaddle again is key. Just a simple muslin blanket or even a hospital blanket are my favorites. They are thin and still allow you to see the size of baby without being wrapped in a bulky blanket.

6) Siblings. This can go a few different ways haha. In my experience it is not always love at first sight, which is ok! We want nothing more than that sweet snuggling photo but often times I don't even get it, and I have done this many times. If all else fails try swaddling baby, lay them in their hospital bed or crib and have the siblings peek in.

7) Mom and dad need to be in the photos! Mom might not want to be in the photos but I plead with dad to capture some of her with her new sweet baby. Capture the closeness, bring baby nose to nose, snuggle them up on your chest. They don't need to be full body shots or even looking at the camera. Again details and emotion are key.

8) Get a family shot. Even if baby is wrapped up and mom isn't feeling her best and the older siblings are a mess. Just take the photos. They are real memories and you will want them.

9) PLEASE do not attempt posing your baby like you see in some of the cute newborn photos online. Many/most of these poses are done with a spotter or are a composite image so it could be 2-3 images combined in photoshop to make one final image. It might look like baby is holding themselves up on their hands in what we call a "froggy" pose but really the photographer had someone with hands on the baby at all times and combined multiple images in photoshop. We are trained to do these type of photos and often they look easier than they actually are. Just be safe :)

10) Last thing is just keep it simple. Don't stress. This doesn't need to be perfect, hard or take a long time. Get what you can and remember we are here waiting to photograph your sweet baby and family as soon as we can <3

Here are some of my hospital photos to give you a few ideas. All done with natural light and a lifestyle approach.

2019 Holiday Minis ~ Carly Murray Photography

Tue, 29 Oct 2019 12:22:24 GMT

I am so excited about this years holiday minis! The minis are always one of my favorite events of the year. I am envisioning kiddos in their holiday bests for this set but feel free to be creative if you have other ideas for outfits almost anything will work with these colors. I try hard to make sets that are festive but also classic enough that the photos could be printed and given as gifts and displayed year round.

Details: The minis are $150, 15 minutes long, include 8 digital files with the print release. The dates are 11/3, 11/9, 11/10 and 11/16. These minis are for babies & kids only, I just can't accommodate families in this set up.

Sign ups this year will be done though the links below. You will find a link for each date. Just follow the link for the date that works for you and pick the time you would like. It will have you fill in your name, email and phone number (all this info is private so only I can see it). I will send along an email with the release form/deposit information.

Thanks so much for your interest.

2019 Holiday Minis!

Fri, 04 Oct 2019 21:52:40 GMT

I am so excited about this years holiday minis! The minis are always one of my favorite events of the year. I am still working on the final set up but it will be a white backdrop and floor, a little gray velvet loveseat, a wooden ladder with garland/lights and a few other details I am working on. I am envisioning kiddos in their holiday bests for this set! But feel free to be creative if you have other ideas for outfits almost anything will work with these colors. I try hard to make sets that are festive but also classic enough that the photos could be printed and given as gifts and displayed year round! I also have some friends coming in to model the set up next week, I will send along the sample photos as soon as I have them ready.

Thanks so much for your interest.

Baby Tyson was born in the middle of the "bomb cyclone" blizzard we had here in Maine on January 4th. It made for an interesting drive to the hospital for me (well for my husband....I made him drive me haha ) I am so glad I made it and was able to share in sweet Tyson's birth experience. Photographing a birth doesn't feel at all like work to me. It really feels like a privilege to be involved in the process with these families. Each delivery is so different and every one is such a beautiful story. Congratulations to the Andersen family and thank you so much for inviting me to share in his big day <3
