Real Photographers, Capturing Baby's First Moments
Photography
Bringing experienced freelance photographers, Bella Baby captures your baby’s first photograph with a natural, artistic style using natural light, professional grade digital cameras, and the idea that babies look most beautiful when being held in their parents’ arms or cuddled in their own blankets. These photographers work with our team of nurses to communicate with each new mom, and offer a free 15 minute session to take the photos. You will be able to electronically view and order your photos the very same day. The images are then securely posted on Bella Baby’s website for you to access and share with your friends before you even leave the medical center.
