Choosing the Best Newborn Photographer for Your Family

Cary Newborn Photography with Stacey Adams | Top Photographers

This post is part of the FAQ blog series, through which I’ll be answering many of the questions people have about newborn photography. Find links to read more from this series below.

There are so many newborn photographers in Cary and Raleigh who have wording on their website to indicate they are the best or premiere or top photographer in our area. It gets confusing! What makes a photographer “the best”?

While many of these business owners are also talented photographers, I feel like a better question to ask is,

What makes a newborn photo session with SMA Photography special?

All photographers are different. We have different ways of seeing, different styles, and different skill levels, not to mention different personalities and business standards. It’s these differences that make a huge difference, not only in the quality of your images, but in your newborn photography experience as a whole.

Because your baby’s newborn stage is so fleeting, newborn photography is incredibly important, and that makes it even more vital that you choose the best photographer for your family. So what, then, does make a newborn photo session with SMA Photography so special? It’s my commitment to my client’s experience.

Beyond anything else, your experience is of the utmost importance to me. Through the entire process, from the time you reach out to me for initial information, through your photo session and the delivery of your photo collection, my goal is to make your newborn photography experience easy, enjoyable, and special.

Because working with me will likely be different from your previous experiences with other photographers, here some of the ways working with SMA Photography for your Newborn Photography needs will be unique.

1. I come to you.

It’s not an easy feat to leave the house with a newborn. I know from personal experience - I have three kids of my own! That is one of the reasons I come to you for your planning meeting, your photo session, and your ordering appointment to choose your favorite newborn photos, whether you are in Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Morrisville, or Raleigh. Your primary focus should be taking care your baby and yourself, not rushing all over town.

2. I listen.

When you choose to work with me, you’re not just a time slot on my calendar. You are a real family, and I care deeply about what’s most important to you - including your story and your baby. Your older children are an integral part of your baby’s life, and they are fully welcomed and included into the photo session. It’s my listening and paying attention to the details that gives you unique and meaningful, beautiful images that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

3. My technical skills are top notch.

Okay, listening skills are part of the story. Technical skills are the other piece of the puzzle to delivering consistent, gorgeous images of your baby. How do you know my technical skills are excellent? In addition to the many examples of my work you can see here on my website, I’m a member of Click Pro, an elite, portfolio-based merit organization for female photographers, I’ve been published on multiple photography education blogs, including Clickin Moms and Photographer Hack, I’ve been published in Dear Photographer magazine. I also have been chosen to shoot commercial work for Edible Magazine, the New Mexico Early Childhood Care and Education Department’s Moments Together Campaign, and Cottages and Bungalows Magazine.

4. I go above and beyond.

I offer What to Wear guides to help you prepare for your photo session, and I make myself available to answer any question, no matter how small. I also offer options to include a complimentary Fresh 48 Photo Session or add video to your newborn photo session with most of my Newborn Photo Session Collections. There’s nothing quite like the emotional experience of watching a professional short film of your baby’s newborn days - all of captured during your normal newborn photo session.

You deserve a newborn photographer who not only delivers beautiful images of your newborn baby, but also delivers an incredible client experience. Newborn photography is important, and I’m committed to making your entire photo experience easy, fun, and special.
