So you take pictures of infants as a profession. Maybe you just really love kids and you enjoy taking pictures of them and watching how happy a family looks when they get to see it. It really is a great and very satisfying job to do. That is exactly why you need to make sure that you are doing your job right so that your career will be on the uphill rise all the time. There is a lot of competition in this field today and you need to avoid doing these mistakes if you want to get good results.
Not listening well
You really need to be a great listener as a baby photographer Perth. You must talk yes, but do not talk over your clients. Instead, listen to what they have to say to you about the work that you need to do. You need to accommodate what they are asking you to do, ask the correct questions and tell them if there is something that might not that great if included. If you listen well you will be able to deliver even better and more better you do, the better revenue you generate for your business.
Trying to include too much in a session
There is a limit to what you can include in one session of newborn photography. The infant is easily exhausted and even if the parents want you to have ten backdrops fifteen props and twenty two poses, there is really nothing much that you will be able to do when the little one starts to protest. Instead, keep it simple and natural so that the infant too can have fun. Imagine how difficult it would be capture in a lens the magical quality of a little one when it is so hard to take a picture of adults who are in full control of themselves. Just keep its simple, have fun and let everybody have fun.
Prepare your clients
Infants are supposed to be 90% of the time but that 90% does not necessarily need to be when a random stranger is flashing a camera in their face. For you to have a great sleepy and calm little fellow, you will need to prepare your clients, the parents and send them tips and suggestions on how they can get their child to be asleep and calm for the session. Unless you also offer nanny services alongside the pictures, make sure that you will not have to struggle with a tired and angry infant the whole way.
