Beautiful mother and baby photo | Inniswood Metro Gardens

Rocky is growing fast and his mamma wanted to capture some milestone photos for him of this fleeting time. Courtney wanted to do an indoor and outdoor session and I absolutely love doing both and especially on beautiful days like today when it’s warm and pretty. The lighting was gorgeous and to my surprise this amazing tree had just bloomed so we had to take advantage of these beautiful purple flowers. I just love how this came out with his adorable overalls and the beautiful white lace dress his mamma wore.I think his mamma will treasure this photo for years to come. This is the perfect image to show off those sweet baby smiles and it’s also a beautiful mamma and baby photo.

Bare Baby Photography is a maternity, family, milestone and newborn photographer that serves all of Columbus, Ohio. We specialize in everything baby. We typically book a few months in advance so don’t wait to book your session, it’s ever too early.

Columbus Ohio Newborn Photography | Top reasons to hire a newborn photographer

I met this sweet family the first time at Highbanks Metro Park in Lewis Center. We spent the evening capturing mamma’s pregnancy in that last golden hour of sunlight. Highbanks is one of my favorite places to take photos and I photograph many maternity and baby sessions there and know the lighting very well. I was so excited to meet their little one and since his mamma has so much hair so I had a feeling he was going to be born with a head full of hair. I was so excited when I got to meet him for the first time and saw that gorgeous head of hair. He gave me the cutest expressions too and I just love the awake photo of him and I think that is his mama’s favorite. I am so in love with this newborn session so of course I had to share them on my blog. What a beautiful baby boy, he’s absolutely perfect. I just love that little kissy face and had to share that one first. I thought as moms it would be nice to know the details, time and hard work that goes into these gorgeous final photos. Let’s talk a little bit first about what happens before you arrive. After you book your session with me I will look over your session agreement to see if you have any specific colors in mind. If not I will spend around 1 hour preparing for your session getting all of my props out and ready. I’ll think about your session ( boy or girl ) and will design the color tones for your session. I did gray’s, brown’s, and creme’s for this little guy. I will put together backdrops, hats, wraps that all coordinate together so that everything is cohesive. I’ll think about poses for a sleepy baby as well as an awake baby and have ideas all in my mind before you arrive so that I’m prepared and ready. Once you arrive to the studio we will spend around 1 - 3 hours allowing plenty of time for soothing, feeding and posing. Once the session is over I will upload all of your images and also back those up so that they are safe. Then I will clean the studio and will wash the items used for your session, some items are super delicate and require hand washing and everything needs hung dry. I’ll then select the best images for your session. I take multiple images with every pose so I can check to pick the one that is most sharp. After I choose the best images to represent your session I will spend several hours hand editing and painting each one so that it’s perfect. I’ll prepare and upload a gallery for you and will send you a very detailed email on how to order and download everything. It’s a lot work but wow look at this little cutie’s photos and all those cute faces I captures… it’s an amazing experience and in just a matter of a few short days he will never look like this again. Here are my top 10 reasons why you should hire a really good newborn photographer for your session.

1. Newborn Safety

When you arrive you can sit back and get cozy and watch me create amazing professional photos of your new little bundle of joy. With over 10 years of experience handling newborns, I will make sure your baby is comfortable with each and every pose. Safety is extremely important to me and to keep your baby comfortable I typically do poses that baby can hold themselves. I am trained to do other fun posing too that babies cannot do themselves at the parents request and those are done via a composite to ensure your baby is safe. Babies don’t like to be cold so my studio will be nice and warm to make sure your baby is comfortable.

2. Equipment

Camera’s have become quite affordable over the last few years and obtaining a “professional” camera has become easier. They are still very expensive and there are still many different levels of professional cameras and they are built with different capabilities which is why there are so many options. Some photographers will go with a cheaper option that is marketed as “professional”. There is a reason that one camera is 1k and another is 3k though and you have to do your research. I choose to use the top of the line for my clients, a camera that has excellent with low light abilities. There are also different lenses with different qlass qualities and again a range of options and pricing. I always buy the highest level of lenses to ensure your photos are the highest quality. Did you know that the lens can be more important than your camera!

3. Editing

This one is near and dear to me as editing is extremely subjective and the term “edit” is one that is not understood well. I could “edit” your photos in 10 minutes or 8 hours. There are many steps I do in my editing, many many layers to create the unique gorgeous tones you see in my work. It’s something I spend many many many hours learning and practicing as there are many different ways even to achieve the same look. For example many babies are red and jaundiced and there are many different ways to fix this all of which will look different and there are methods that work much better than others. I have spent years developing a special system and learning the best ways to create the beautiful tones you see in my work

4. Posing & attention to details

I pay close attention to details and am extremely meticulous with my work. There are many ways to do the same pose. I live for details and when you take the time to make sure everything is perfect.. fingers, toes, blankets, wraps, etc the final image is so rewarding.

5. Experience

You can buy the best camera on the market but you will not get a great photo without experience. Experience is not something you can buy. Many lightbulbs go off after you photograph a baby. You will photograph baby after baby and then all of a sudden a new lightbulb will go off and your like yessss… and you move up another level on the experience chart. I’ve even had lightbulb moments in my dreams. With 10 years of experience and hundreds of newborn sessions completed I have had a lot of lightbulbs go off and AH HA moments.

6. They are only little once

Yes mamma’s, they grow quickly. In an instant your little one will quickly grow into a toddler and then into a baby and then a child and then a teenager. While you think you will remember all the little details you just can’t and they will get blurry and you will look at these photos and cherish them so so much more. You are capturing an unforgettable and irreplaceable moment in time.

7. Price

When choosing your photographer you should look at their portfolio and NOT just one image that you fell in love with. Is the editing the same from session to session? Is the posing consistent with baby to baby and the lighting You can’t get this time back and it’s important to know that you can expect to get what you see on my website. Remember that your little one is only so tiny for a very short amount of time so if you end up choosing someone you are not happy with you cannot get those days back. Experience, knowledge, time, and props are some of the reasons why photos are pricey. When you hire someone that has years of experience you can sit back and have the piece of mind that you are going to have amazing photos of your little one and you will feel better about your investment because you are hiring someone with years of experience that will provide you with the absolute best images.

8. Products

When you hire a meticulous photographer such as myself you can be assured that the prints and products I offer are of the highest quality. In addition I want to provide you with pieces that are unique and reflect the mood and style of the image. After all this is what all of the work is for so that you can show off these amazing photos.

9. No time

I hire photographers even though I am a professional photographer because I have no “time”. There is not much time when you have a baby and there is something to be said about having someone capture my baby and edit my photos and send me gorgeous products so that I can sleep and spend time with my little one. You might think you will have time but that’s how photos never get printed or hung up and why photos sit on the computer.

Columbus Ohio Family Photographer Fall Photography | Bare Baby Photography

We did her maternity photos at the park of roses and then did her newborn photo session in my studio located in Columbus Ohio. I just love their most recent session, they are all simply gorgeous. We did their most recent one year milestone session at Highbanks Metro Park located in Lewis Center, down at the creek bed. I love taking photos in creek beds. Living in Ohio I feel it’s one of the more dreamy locations, I just love that water in the background.

Unique newborn twin photos | columbus ohio newborn photographer Bare Baby

I was so excited to create something really unique for this family. I think part of the fun of hiring a Columbus Ohio newborn photographer is to have someone that can create something really special for your family that specializes in newborn babies. I wanted to share with you a quick little tutorial of how I made this image of the twins babies together using two different images and a little bit of photoshop magic. It was super fun and easy too.

I started out with each image by editing in color that you see below and saving those first. Then I edited both images in black and white and created a new blank layer filled with black and added a mask. I then adjusted the size of the first baby and moved that layer over so that I could add the second baby. Finally I flipped the first baby so that each baby would face the opposite direction.
