Newborn photographer in the Wachau

A newborn photographer in the Wachau is a photographer who visits a family in the first weeks after the birth and photographs the baby asleep, in the parents’ arms and with brothers and sisters, at the pace the baby sets. In the villages along the Danube and in Krems this almost always happens at home: a new mother avoids the drive, the house stays warm and quiet, and the photographer brings soft wraps, a small backdrop and, if needed, a portable light.

The valley shapes the timing. Around the winter solstice the sun rises around 7.45 am and sets around 4.05 pm at Dürnstein, and where steep slopes rise behind a village the direct sun is gone well before that, so a winter newborn session starts at about 9.30 am and is finished by early afternoon. In June, with sunrise around 4.55 am and sunset around 9 pm, any time of day works. Expect two to three hours including feeding and settling breaks; you receive an edited gallery with the baby alone, with parents and with siblings. Get in touch before the due date and confirm the day once you are home.
