Moments of new beginnings, for example, are just too good to pass up, and newborns best symbolize them. Add to these the baby’s gradual growing-up activities -- the first smile, first head turn, first arm and feet movement, and many other firsts that are worthy of every shutter count – and parents become wont to seek a professional photographer's help in capturing such special moments.

Taking photographs of kids aged 0-2
There are various ways to treat subjects of baby photography according to age:
• For newborns, photographers prefer to use minimal props. Locations are not the primary concern since the baby can be focused on even with an empty background.

• Professional photographers, like Dexter Yarbrough, also take note of the difference between subjects who can stand, pose, and smile by themselves and those who are not aware they’re being photographed. Therefore, they suggest that the session be held when the baby is fast asleep, so as to avoid crying and other cases of baby emergencies.
• Moreover, the shoot should be fun and spontaneous, and the main attraction should be the precious little one. The photographers should also be keen with light settings and use minimal flash to avoid distracting the kids.
