You will quickly notice that your camera roll after the arrival of your baby will be filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of images and videos of them! Capturing images professionally are an amazing way to show the memories of you and your baby together, as you are often the one behind the camera, right?
If you love being outside with your baby, I have put together some ideas for your outdoor photography baby session in Wokingham.
Wokingham and surrounding areas offer so many gorgeous spots and I love sharing them with my clients. So, do you need some inspiration? Keep on reading!
So, how do you find the perfect spot for you?
When choosing a location, think about how the surroundings could enhance the photo’s ability to tell a story. Additionally, the background should match your clothing and props in some way.
Get out and start exploring
Nothing is better for you and your baby than fresh air. Anywhere you spend outside, provided the weather is fair, is the ideal location for an outdoor baby photography session.
On the other hand, if you want to schedule an outside baby session with your little one, be sure to account for weather conditions including sun, wind, rain, and cold.
I am always exploring new locations to recommend to my clients!
Check the weather before you step out
It won’t hurt to quickly check the weather on your phone before you step outdoors for an outside baby photography session. Remember: You will have a lot better luck capturing the moments that matter if your baby is content and not too hot or too chilly.
Also, keep in mind that baby skin is extremely delicate. In order to protect their sensitive skin, it is preferable to avoid taking photos outside in the direct sun. Make sure you have some kind of shade nearby so you can duck for cover if the sun unexpectedly appears.
Where to have your outdoor photography baby session in Wokingham
Perhaps the park by your house is the ideal location. Or a secluded area of the beach, or maybe somewhere filled with nature.
The options are endless when searching for your outdoor photography baby session!
In a field
A field with lot’s of space and surrounded by trees is a backdrop you can’t go wrong with. In my opinion, the golden hours after or just before sunset are when fields are at their most beautiful.
Images look their best when shot in the golden sun. When there is a beautiful light that falls on the trees and coloured leaves, the colours are enhanced and appear their best.
In a meadow field
I just adore the free-spirited atmosphere of a rural meadow. The meadow’s simple, natural environment, the lovely long grasses swaying lazily in the air, and the sun’s rays turning the grass golden.
It’s the perfect environment for an outdoor baby photography session as it is calm, serene, and private.
By the lake
If you love the water then here is an outdoor baby photography session idea you don’t want to miss! By the lake and even in the lake! Lakes are so serene and offer such a relaxing vibe to the images.
When the sun hits the water, there is something so magical about this.
Creative ideas for your outdoor photography baby session
Inject some fun and personality into your images. Using props that have meaning to you or that you use daily is a good way to express this.
Use blankets
Using blankets is great for you to sit on if you plan to sit on a field, as depending on the weather it can get wet or be dirty. As well as this, you can use blankets in a fun way, so you do not just have to sit on them!
This could be a family blanket that you all cosy up in on the sofa or your baby’s blanket that has meaning to you!
Sit on a chair!
I bring all of these props to our sessions, as I love the vibe they create. A chair that matches the aesthetic of the shoot is key to beautiful images. Plus, it saves you from sitting on the ground!
In a box
A wooden box is a great prop for your outdoor baby photography session. Not only does it add to the vibe and environment of the images but they are a great way to keep your baby safe, secure and off the direct ground! It is a great way to keep your baby amused for the shoot.
