I’ve Joined BANPAS!

As a newborn and baby photographer, I have to take the safety of my little clients very seriously. It might surprise you to know that the newborn photography industry is completely unregulated. Photographers like me, who take safety seriously, have to take it upon ourselves to be trained and educated on how to ensure the beautiful images we create, are done safely. For example when you see a beautiful image like this:

You may be forgiven for thinking that the baby here was unsupported and holding his own head fully upright. But as you can see in the before image below, I am supporting his head at all times and then I edited out my hand in photoshop.

Here are some more before and after images:

Even in the last two images where the parents are holding baby, you can clearly see the beanbag is just inches beneath the baby. My moto is always 'safety first, image last' and being overly precocious is not a bad thing when it comes to your precious little bundles.

Being a newborn and baby photographer requires a unique set of skills and there is a worldwide organisation that exists to support photographers like me, who want to have access to safety training and resources that we can use to provide clients like you with a better service. I’m delighted to have joined BANPAS (Baby &Newborn Photography Association)
