Choosing Milestones for Baby Portraits (Our Favorites):
- The Belly Session There is something so tender and memorable about maternity photography. We’ll capture the excitement of your pregnancy, the beauty of your body, and the love for your unborn child.
- The Itty Bitty Baby Session Any time from birth to one month old you’ll find the beauty and innocence of this time unmatched in infant portraits. Your baby’s eyes will never be filled with more wonder.
- The Tummy-Time Session From two to four months, your child’s little body will be growing. The smiles have arrived. Often, babies are able to support their head during tummy time.
- The Big Sit Session Between six and seven months your child may sit upright. Your child exhibits signs of the quintessential baby. With a gummy smile and an easy laugh, in terms of adorable baby photography this is not a time to miss.
- The First Birthday Session By now Baby is pulling up on furniture and tentatively exploring first steps—hallmarks of this age. There will never be another birthday quite like this one; don’t miss the baby pictures to document it.
Baby Photographers Capture Sweet Sib Relationships in Baby Portraits
A new baby is as much a joy and challenge for your first-born children as it is for you. Some embrace the arrival of the littlest family member, and others are uncertain how to react. At Campbell Salgado we seek to capture the most tender, enchanting and funny moments in familial relationships.
Are they comfortable together? Adoring of each other? Still figuring each other out?
Knowing about this dynamic gives us insight we can use to photograph your baby, and is an amazing way to create baby portraits that will form bonds that show in family photography.
The Magic of Multiples in Baby Photography
Over the years we’ve been tickled pink and blue to take multiples portraits. From twins to triplets we have experience like none other to handle more than one baby. There is an art to multiples photography as we capture each child’s unique personality and expressions. Twin photography is such a treat for us and we recognize how special each of your kiddos are.
Oh Baby! Photography we can’t resist…
As photographers, we ventured into baby photography after surprising success with maternity photography. Our intimate photography style seemed as natural a fit to document little babes, as it was for bellies.
Here are a few thoughts we’ve learned on our path to being seasons baby photographers.
- What’s the difference between baby pictures and baby portraits? We tend to imagine that baby pictures are equivalent to the cherished snapshots every parent takes of their child. A portrait is most often composed, thought-out and more polished than a picture.
- Getting baby portraits taken is an experience to savor. Baby photography is as delicate as babies are tender; we try to set a natural pace and you’ll hold this session as a fond memory.
- When one of the parents is the photographer it's difficult to get a family portrait that reflects the loving dynamics of the family. For this reason many families recognize the importance of hiring a professional photographer to create imagery that will hang on their wall like art for generations.
- Baby photography can be tiring (for the baby)! We recommend minimizing stimulation prior to a photo session and scheduling appointments early in the day.
- Frankly, life is unpredictable. Sometimes you just get peed on. We advise parents to simply steer a peeing baby away from the body, to protect thy self (it’s much easier to wipe up the floor than change clothes) Funny thing is many parents get a kick out of hanging a peeing baby picture over the toilet.
One of our best compliments is that we take baby portraits that look like how a parent sees their child: the wonderful facial curves, plump lips, and sparkly eyes — all captured with our unique lighting and approach.
