Shreveport, Louisiana Newborn Photographer | Twin Newborn Session
NEWBORN SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY!
Newborns Have Limited Strength & Control
Babies lack head and neck control, so proper posing and support are essential to prevent strain or injury.
Risk of Falls & Accidents
Newborns may startle or move unpredictably. Without proper support, they can roll or slip out of position. A spotter (parent or assistant) should always be nearby.
Fragile Joints & Soft Bones
Some poses seen in newborn photography are composites (edited together for safety). Forcing a baby into a position they’re not naturally comfortable in can cause harm.
Temperature & Comfort
Newborns can’t regulate body temperature well. Keeping the room warm, using soft fabrics, and ensuring they are comfortable is critical.
Hygiene & Health Precautions
Newborns have developing immune systems. Photographers should sanitize hands, use clean props, and reschedule if they’re sick to avoid exposing the baby to germs.
Safe Use of Props & Accessories
Baskets, wraps, and headbands should be secure, breathable, and baby-friendly—no sharp edges or tight-fitting accessories that could restrict circulation.
Following the Baby’s Lead
If a baby seems uncomfortable, fussy, or resists a pose, it’s important to adjust and never force it. Their safety and well-being always come first.
