Everyone loves the hands under the chin pose but shots like these should not be done by just anyone. There is a correct way to do it and it is actually a composite shot. Real Professional Newborn Photographers are trained on proper safety and on posing newborns. Don't compromise for a trendy pose like hanging on a tree or cloth, putting babies in glass bowls or even this one,
the shot is never more important than the safety of the child.
Make sure your photographer knows what they are doing - ask for training credentials and their safety measures/techniques (ask to see samples from past shoots of safety techniques). You will be surprised to know that most "amazing hanging shots" are actually composites and there is a way to hold the baby and a specific way to pose them when hanging - it isn't at all how you imagine it to be actually and most parents say "wow I never thought it was done that way" when they see it.
So be safe and Choose only a PROFESSIONAL photographer, don't just take anyone's word for it - do your research and choose safety over savings - a life is in their hands after all.
