Chattanooga TN Newborn Photographer | Getting the perfect sibling images
I have been photographing these precious girls for years, and was so thrilled when I heard their family was adding a baby brother. These particular girls are seasoned pros at posing, as their parents are also photographers, but that is very rarely the case.
Often times, clients come to us saying they really want those sweet sibling photos, but aren’t so sure their children will cooperate. This is very common, and generally, an easy obstacle to overcome. Lots of “older” siblings are still very small, themselves, and aren’t quite sure they want any part of this new baby or photos. We have a few tips and tricks up our sleeve to make sure you leave with those snuggly pictures you’ve been dreaming of.
We usually like to start with our bed scene. Clients love it, and kids tend to think it’s fun! Plus, the cozy softness adds that extra layer of safety, because you can never be too careful when photographing a newborn. Our studio assistant is always within arms reach for posing adjustments and to make sure she can access baby quickly while I’m behind the camera getting the perfect angles.
When siblings aren’t quite sure they want to try to hold baby, we will start by having them look at them or gently kiss them. This always creates photos with such a nice connection that parents love.
This big sister is still quite young, so we started baby brother on a soft surface and had her look at him and kiss his head. Then we went from there to gauge what else we could accomplish based on how sister was responding. She was responding well to direction, so with the help of my assistant, who is directly to the right of baby’s head in this photo, we let her “hold” him. This is still one of my favorite sibling images and we have this printed HUGE in the studio.
No matter their age or cooperation level, we tell parents not to stress it. We don’t get in a hurry, and do everything we can to accomplish those images you are hoping for. That’s what sets us apart!
