• Choose your style
Do you want natural, relaxed images of your baby snuggled up in your arms at home, or posed portraits with themed sets, props, and backdrops in a studio setting? There’s no wrong answer! Just be sure the photographer you choose specializes in the type of session you're dreaming of.

(Note: Horry County does NOT allow residential home portrait studios, so sessions should take place in your own home or a licensed commercial studio.)

• Ask about training and safety
Newborn photography is a specialty for a reason. Look for someone with hands-on training in safe posing techniques and plenty of experience handling babies. The pros featured here follow a baby-led approach to keep your little one calm, comfortable, and well cared for. 

• Check the details
The best photographers will walk you through every step before you even arrive, from what to bring, how the space is santized, and what to do if baby is fussy. Communication is key, especially in those sleep-deprived early days!
