It’s never hard to convince new parents to photograph their baby. Especially first-time new parents who want to capture every moment with their new bundle of joy.

But these days, having a professional photo session is becoming more common too. A growing number of photographers have started to specialize in portraiture for pregnant women, newborns, and toddlers.

Studio or home sessions with a professional are great, but there is never any replacement for a basic personal camera. You’ll still want to capture those spontaneous, once-in-a-lifetime expressions, poses, actions, and incidents that you just can’t plan.

We’ve rounded up advice from a couple of professional baby photographers to help get you thinking.

“Life is happening all around you. It’s happening on your block and in your house. If you are ready, you can record that with your camera.” – Nick Kelsh

“If I had it to do over again … I wouldn’t have taken a picture of my older son every time he moved … I’d have way more photos and videos of my younger son, and I would have made the time to have had more shots of me.” – Ana Brandt

• Detailed how-to pointers from Ana in The Vancouver Sun.
