Newborn safety is always my primary concern. As you know, there are many new photographers who like to get ideas from other photographers. There's nothing wrong with this ... I call it creative inspiration! While looking for a newborn photographer, always make sure the photographer is comfortable with newborns and it's helpful if they've had children of their own.
One of our most popular shots is the "Stork's Pouch". Although this image turns out beautiful and peaceful, a lot of patience, time and photoshopping goes into creating it. Your baby is placed in the pouch on top of a beanbag and gently lifted about an inch from the beanbag and photographed. Sometimes, mom is even holding the baby as shown in the image below. We never, ever actually hang the baby from anything. We will shot the pouch (empty) hanging from a tree branch or deer antlers and composite (or puzzle-piece) everything together. At times, we take as many as 6 or 7 shots and piece these together to get that one "perfect" image.
Here's an example of how we composite an image.
