Photographing newborns is not for the faint of heart. I once had a client tell me that they thought I took the baby and laid them in whatever prop I had, and that was it. The reality is that it can take 30 minutes to an hour to get the first image. Newborns may arrive sleepy but quickly awaken when removed from the car seat. Wrapping a squirmy newborn is challenging. It can take a few times to get them fully wrapped and settled. Even the cutest poses you see may have been the pose that took the longest to capture. Newborn photographers are worth the investment.
