If you’re a newborn photographer, this one is a game-changer. Today, we’re delving into the world of baby body signals – invaluable tools to become a baby whisperer during your newborn photo sessions.
These cues can significantly enhance your photo sessions, so let’s dive in.
The “Neh” Cry is the hunger signal, a subtle “neh, neh” sound when the baby’s tongue hits the roof of their mouth, indicating a need for feeding.
The “Owh” Cry, like a yawn, signals tiredness, possibly time for a break.
The “Eh” Cry, short and repetitive, signals a need to burp.
The “Eairh” Cry indicates tummy issues, often accompanied by leg movement or arching.
High-pitched “shrill” Cries are urgent, requiring immediate attention, usually indicating pain or severe discomfort. Soft cooing sounds denote contentment, perfect for capturing candid shots.
Aside from vocal cues, babies offer body signals too. A clenched fist could indicate stress, open palms relaxation, and arching the back discomfort.
For newborn photographers, it’s not just about taking beautiful pictures but ensuring the well-being of your tiny subjects. Recognizing these cues allows you to create a smoother session and build trust with parents.
