As you prepare for the arrival of your little one, countless decisions await—each one filled with love and intention. From designing a cozy nursery to selecting the perfect stroller, every choice reflects your love and care for your growing family. Choosing a photographer to capture the tender moments with your newest addition is no different.
At Pure Life Photography, we are here to guide you through this journey. We offer support as you preserve the first precious year of your baby’s life and build a tradition of beautiful family memories. To make your decision easier, here are some key factors to find a photographer who feels like the perfect fit.
Choosing a Photographer
Consideration #1 – Creative Approach
Every photographer has a unique artistic approach that shapes their work. Take time to look at each photographer’s portfolio and social media feed to find a style that matches your vision. Here are some aspects to consider:
- Posing Style – Do you prefer traditional, lifestyle, or candid/documentary photography?
- Session Location – Would you like an in-studio session or on-location?
- Editing Style – Do you favor light and airy tones, or something moodier?
- Lighting – Are you drawn to natural light or studio lighting setups?
At Pure Life Photography, sessions feature soft, natural lighting and a clean, timeless aesthetic. Laura’s approach emphasizes genuine emotion and connection, creating images that are both elegant and heartfelt.
Consideration #2 – Expertise
Maternity and newborn photography requires specialized skills. From capturing the beauty of pregnancy to safe newborn posing, experience plays a role.
- Maternity Expertise – Look for photographers skilled in flattering poses and creating a relaxing environment for expecting mamas.
- Newborn Safety – Handling newborns requires patience, care, and proper techniques to ensure baby’s comfort and safety.
- Family Dynamics – For sessions involving older siblings, choose a photographer experienced in working with children to capture authentic family connections.
With over a decade of experience, Laura specializes in maternity, newborn and family photography. Families often call her the “baby whisperer” for her calming approach and ability to create a safe and welcoming experience.
Consideration #3 – Level of Service
Photography is more than just a session – it’s an experience. From the booking process, to planning the session, to delivery of images and products, every interaction is an opportunity to make the portrait experience seamless and enjoyable.
- Planning – A consultation prior to your session is vital for discussing your vision.
- Styling – Providing wardrobe styling and professional hair and makeup mean one less thing on your to-do.
- Prep Guides – Knowing how to prepare for your session helps you feel confident.
Laura provides a full-service portrait experience with complimentary professional hair and makeup, a curated wardrobe for moms and little ones, a pre-session prep guide, and a cozy studio with refreshments and thoughtful amenities.
Consideration #4 – Goals for Your Photos
If you’re envisioning a particular outcome for your images, such as an album to treasure, wall art for your home, or prints to share with loved ones, look for a photographer who offers high quality, custom products.
After each session, Laura guides families through a personalized photo reveal. Together, heirloom quality albums and artwork is custom designed that are perfect for your home. All products are made in the USA and crafted to last for generations.
Consideration #5 – Reviews & Testimonials
Client testimonials are invaluable when choosing a photographer. Look for reviews that highlight creativity, professionalism, and exceptional service. Positive feedback from other families is a strong indicator of a photographer’s reliability and ability to deliver on their promises.
