Newborn photographer — newborn sessions and children's photoshoots

Parents often book a newborn photographer before the birth, for the baby's first weeks, and a kids' photographer for the hospital discharge or a first-birthday shoot. Put the child's age and the shoot you want in an order, and photographers will respond. Or browse portfolios, prices and reviews.

Newborn and children's photographers

How much a newborn photoshoot costs

What affects the price

  • Studio or home visit

    A studio already has the lighting, backdrops and a warm room, while for a home visit the photographer brings it all along, so the two formats are often priced differently.

  • Setups and people

    How many changes of setup — baskets, wraps, backdrops — there will be, and whether you want shots with the parents or older children.

  • Props and decor

    Many photographers already have hats and headbands, while a cake for the first-birthday shoot or themed decor to match your idea adds to the price.

  • Number of photos and retouching

    How many edited shots you will get, and whether retouching of the baby's skin is included: redness, little scratches from the nails, peeling.

  • Hospital discharge shoot

    A discharge shoot is usually charged by the shooting time and the travel, and a home session on the same day is charged separately.

Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a newborn photographer

  1. 1

    How difficult poses are done

    Ask how the photographer shoots poses like the “froggy”: usually an adult's hands support the baby the whole time, and the shot is combined from several frames.

  2. 2

    Who spots the baby

    Ask who will spot the baby during the shoot — an assistant or you: on a beanbag or in a basket the baby must never be left without a spotter, not for a moment.

  3. 3

    Clean props

    Ask whether textiles and wraps are washed after every shoot, whether the photographer washes their hands before handling the baby, and whether you can bring your own swaddles.

  4. 4

    The baby's pace

    Find out how long the session lasts, whether there are breaks for feeding and settling, and how the room where the baby is undressed is kept warm.

  5. 5

    Skin retouching

    See how the photographer edits skin: the baby should look natural, not “plastic”. Ask to see a shot before and after retouching.

What to put in the order

The more precise the description, the more precise the prices in responses.
  • What shoot you need: newborn, hospital discharge, monthly photos, first birthday or another kids' shoot

  • The baby's age, or roughly when to plan the shoot

  • Where to shoot: at home, in a studio or outdoors — and the district

  • Who else will be in the frame: parents, older children

  • The style you want and a few examples of shots you like

  • How many edited photos you need and whether you want a photo book
