hanging in stork pouches, posed in a variety of different props, or posed in a way that makes you wonder how on earth that was done safely?\u00a0\u00a0 I&#8217;m sharing a few pulled back shots today to demonstrate what&#8217;s really going on just outside the frame in some of these photos.\u00a0 For the hanging shots, I always have the baby positioned over a soft surface, and when lifted, baby is just inches away from that surface.\u00a0\u00a0 The person holding the sling\/pouch (either mom or an assistant) keeps his or her hand on the baby, providing support, moving it for just a moment after insuring baby is super secure, and only\u00a0for the amount of time it takes to get the shot.\u00a0 Then baby is slowly lowered back onto the soft surface, a large beanbag in this instance.\u00a0 <a

shown below, I always make sure baby is fast asleep and secure before moving away from the baby, but you just never know.\u00a0 Baby could be startled by a sudden sound, or just awaken and roll out rather quickly if you&#8217;re not careful.\u00a0 So I make sure that a parent is right next to the basket at all times, within arms reach.\u00a0 You can see an example below with Dad being spotter.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/kariphotography.com\/blog\/2011\/11\/newborn-safety-week-mn-newborn-photography\/img_5579\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1377\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter

sure to step in and either stop the pose or ask that they show more care for your precious new life.\u00a0 There&#8217;s a lot that goes on behind the scenes for each photograph &#8211; photographers, make sure you&#8217;re fully educated in the safest way to achieve a photograph before trying it out on a new little person.\u00a0 Thanks for checking in and I hope you find this
