It can be difficult to know what you want in your newborn photos and it can also be an overwhelming market. Whilst your photographer might be hugely experienced, new mums often want to have accessories which they themselves have chosen out for the photo shoot.

To develop your creative eye, you should look on the internet and in books (which can be borrowed from your library or bought in a book store) at pictures which others have done. There are a number of famous newborn photographers who have made their name in the market and you will be able to find them easily.
1. Mom and Dad
