Hey Friends, you know I love to bring you blog post on all my sweet and curled up newborns, but I want to touch on a subject that is extremely important to me and it should be to you. Many parent's (and photographer's) don't think about this when choosing their photographer for newborn portraits. And I am talking about vaccines, not vaccines for your newborn but vaccines that your photographer needs to stay up to date on. Particularly, the whooping cough also known as pertussis vaccination. This disease is a very serious respiratory disease and could be fatal to your newborn. 

The whopping cough can be spread to your newborn from children, grandparents, parent's, and your photographer. Whooping cough spreads easily through the air when a person who has whooping cough breathes, coughs, or sneezes. Almost everyone who is not immune to whooping cough will get sick if exposed to it. 

Take the time to ask the important questions when deciding who is right to be around your family and capture your newborn session. This is one topic that I take extremely serious, I make sure to stay on top of my Vaccines including the Tdap for tetanus- diphtheria-pertussis shot. As well as several other's such as the flu. It is part of my job as your photographer to make sure you and your family is 100% safe.

So Please add this question to your list of must asked question's for your potential photographer as it should be your most important for your family.
