Lake Health Partners With Bella Baby Photography

Artistic, in-hospital photo shoots capture personality and uniqueness of newborns

CONCORD TOWNSHIP, Ohio, December 28, 2011 - The birth of a child is one of the life's most joyous occasions. To help parents document this special time, Lake Health has partnered with Bella Baby Photography to capture newborns' first days in a natural and artistic way.

Bella Baby Photography specializes in newborn photography, shot in a photojournalistic style using natural light. Each professional mini photo shoot lasts 15-20 minutes and takes place in the comfort and privacy of the hospital room. Instead of a traditional headshot, photos feature newborns in a variety of styles and creative poses-from swaddled in a plush blanket to being cradled in the arms of parents or siblings.

Shortly after each session, photos are posted to an online, custom slideshow for review. New parents are able to share the images with family and friends via a password-protected site. Parents can then order prints, digital images and other keepsakes.

"This high quality, personalized approach to newborn photography is really innovative. We're thrilled to be able to provide this unique service to all our new mothers who have just delivered," explained Angie Quirk, director of Women's and Children's Services for Lake Health. "Since we started this program nine months ago, feedback has been extremely positive."

Photographers are at TriPoint Medical Center and West Medical Center most days so no appointments are necessary. For more information about Bella Baby Photography, please visit bellababyphotography.com.
