Baby Photo Shoot — Naptime Inspirations

Sometimes in life the perfect opportunity falls into your lap at just the right moment. Recently in one of the Women Entrepreneur Facebook groups of which I am a part I came across Lisa Hahn, a local photographer who was adding brand photography to her repertoire. I was interested in taking more brand photographs for use in my social media and website postings, so I contacted her. LisaHahnPhotography.com

Our first meeting was via Zoom and Lisa asked all kinds of questions about what kind of style and look I prefer to represent my brand. She had already looked over my website and social media accounts so she had an idea of my products and style. Her questions were specific and helpful and figuring out what we could do together. After that first meeting we communicated via email and Lisa sent me some links to check out. One helpful tool she told me about was a photo template that may work for highlighting my pillows. Basically, you take a photo of your pillow front and them upload it onto the template. It’s really intriguing. I’m not sure exactly how it will work because of the detail that is on some of my pillows but I may give it a try!

Then we discussed possible locations for photo shoots. We emailed back and forth links to various indoor locations that can be rented. I wasn’t ready to do an indoor shoot until post-COVID, so we decided to pursue the baby photo shoot first. That we could do outside and seemed quite safe. My daughter, Eden, was instrumental in connecting me with the moms of 2 beautiful babies. Eden has “Baby-dar” (Baby Radar) and gravitates to the wee ones. These moms graciously agreed to give up an hour of their time to bring their babies to the location where they wore various bib selections from my inventory and Lisa snapped away. Lisa was great! She worked quickly and efficiently. She understood how babies move and was able to capture them looking natural. When it was all over she edited the pictures super fast (!) and made the gallery easily available online for me and moms. She was even to able to accommodate some of my fussy edit suggestions—Did you know you can edit out drool??

I love the pictures so much and I’m so thankful to have a supply that I can use for advertising and on my website. Now if I can just get the website updated…. Next I’ll start to think about a photo shoot to highlight some of my other products: wallets, pouches, backpacks, etc. I’m always amazed at what a skilled photographer can do to make a picture tell a story and evoke emotion. I look forward to working with Lisa again!!
