Many have been asking what to do about Covid-19 Newborn Photos! It is a very surreal time for the entire world right now, and we are no different! With the restrictions and mandates to “Stay Home” and also the “Social Distancing” restrictions, the photography industry has been greatly affected.
Although we can safely take photos from a distance for family photography, maternity and other photography sessions. We can not take newborn photos from a distance. Not to mention with the “Stay Home” mandate we can not do any of these sessions at this time!
However, there has been talk about lifting restrictions on these mandates in the coming weeks. There will be 3 phases. Where does the photography industry fall into these phases, I am not sure. Moreover, in the 3 phase list, Social distancing is listed in all 3 stages! Furthermore does that mean that we still can not take newborn photos? In light of the world situation maybe we will be able to if we are using Personal Protective Equipment. With regards to Personal Protective Equipment I do have it ready to go in the studio when we are allowed to start taking pictures again! At this time, everything is just so uncertain!
What is Covid-19 Newborn Photos?
Now to bring me back to the main topic, Covid-19 Newborn Photos. I have come up with a way that you can still get those precious newborn photos. If you have had a baby, or will be having a baby during this Covid-19 time, you can still have some pretty awesome newborn photos! They will not look the same as if you were in the studio and I was taking your newborn photos in person, but its a pretty good alternative.
The Covid-19 Newborn Photography Sessions will have one on one assistance from me on how to take the photo of your precious newborn baby. You do not need to have a professional photography camera, or even a camera at all! You can take the photo(s) from your smart phone! I walk you through every step, and I am available for any questions. You send me the photo(s) and I will edit them, and create an amazing photo that you will cherish forever!
Suggestions for your session
If you are looking for a cute little swaddle blanket to use for your Covid-19 Newborn Photos, I suggest you look at another local business, Little Navy! They are the sweetest and softest blankets! What you will need for your session is: a blanket to swaddle. A dark Blanket. A diaper change pad, Breast Feeding Pillow, or a fluffy blanket. Rolled up towels or receiving blankets. Your smart phone or camera. We can discuss other options.
I am posting photos from a Covid-19 Neborn Photography Session that I have done. The last photo is the photo I had mom take with her smart phone.
