Hong Kong Newborn Photography – Posed vs Lifestyle.

Parents come to me for the best photos of their newborn babies.

However, not everyone is aware that there are two approaches to newborn photography – Posed and Lifestyle. Although both approaches produce equally precious photos, it’s important for parents to know the difference before the session and I can accommodate your needs.

Posed – newborn babies are posed into different positions while they are in deep sleep and props are used to achieve superbly adorable photos – like the images of Anne Geddes, the famous newborn photographer. Newborn babies in their first 2 weeks are a lot more flexible. Therefore, I recommend that you book your newborn session early before we miss this special time.

Lifestyle –  this is a natural way to capture the baby and family. Think of it as a photo documentary.  For instance capturing the babies while they’re sleeping in their cribs or being held by their parents. Older newborn babies (after 2 weeks) are perfect for this approach because they don’t need to be posed into “curvy” positions.

Both approaches are good and they each provide a different feel. I try to combine the two styles in all newborn sessions, unless the parents have a preference in one over the other.
