Newborn Safety | Barrie Newborn Baby Photographer

July 14, 2015

Photographing newborns safely is a HUGE passion of mine, and every so often you’ll see me write a blog on the topic.  You can see my last one by clicking HERE.

 

I recently photographed a set of super squishy and absolutely ADORABLE twins, Olivia and Oliver.  Whenever I have a twin session, it’s absolutely necessary for me to have a trained set of extra hands to help me with posing and safety while I have the camera in my hands.  When I posted the teaser of the twins in a little bike prop that I have here in studio, someone asked a REALLY GREAT question about safety (they wondered whether I stood behind the baby while the picture was taken and then was “Photoshopped” out later.)  I LOVE when people ask questions about newborn safety, because then I have the opportunity to show you how the image was really made (which is pretty cool, I think!)

 

The “twins in the bike” image was actually created using three separate unique images.  I knew I wanted a straight-on shot of the bike, so I first took a picture of the bike on it’s own.  Then, I needed a shot of the tops of their heads without a hand in behind, so my lovely Assistant, Jenn, held the bottoms of the babies faces for me while I took another picture.  Finally, I wanted their faces just perfect, so we arranged their little faces the way we liked them, and Jenn held the backs of their heads while I took another image.  Later on, all three images were merged together to create one final piece of art.

 

And that’s that!  The making of a piece of art that showcases two 4.5(ish) lb newborns in a bike prop. Enjoy!

    I first took my four children to Raindance Photography in 2011.  I told Stephanie I didn’t need a group shot of them as they wouldn’t sit nicely together for more than two seconds anyway, just take individual shots.  I couldn’t believe when I re…
