Newborn photography is a beautiful way to capture the fleeting moments of a baby’s early days. There are different types of newborn photography, each with its own unique style & approach. Here are some of the most popular types of newborn photography:

1. Posed Newborn Photography- a classic style that involvesd posing baby in various positions whilst they sleep. The photographer carefully positions baby’s hands, feet and head to create a peaceful and natural look. This type of photography requires alot of skill and experience to ensure baby is safe and comfortable throughout the shoot. At Joy! Images, I primarily focus on posed newborn photography in my in home newborn sessions.

2. Lifestyle Newborn Photography- captures your baby in natural and candid moments with the family. This style is less posed and more spontaneous, capturing your newborn in their home environment, with their parents and siblings. The photographer will focus on capturing interactions between family members as well as the baby’s natural expressions and movements.

3. Fine Art Newborn Photography- a more artistic and stylised appraoch to newborn photography. The photographer may use props such as baskets and blankets to create unique and beautiful compositions. This type of photography often has a dreamy and etheral quality, with soft lighting and a focus on baby’s delicate features.

4. Documentary- is a storytelling approach that captures baby’s early days in a more raw and authentic way. The photographer documents the baby’s daily routines, such as feeding and sleeping, as well as the family’s interactions and emotions. This style is less posed and more candid capturing the real moments and emotions of the family during this special time.

5. Black & White- is a classic and timeless style that focuses on the baby’s features and expressions. Black & White photography can create a more emotional and dramatic effect, and is a popular choice for fine art and documentary newborn photography. The good news is - complimentary black & white versions are provided in all of Joy! Images’ package options- so you don’t need to choose between the B&W and colour version.

In conclusion, there are many types of newborn photography, each with its own unique style and approach. Whether you prefer posed or candid photos Joy!
