When looking at building our dedicated newborn photography studio heating was one of the primary elements. We needed to ensure our babies, that were going to be undressed for most of the time, were kept warm and comfortable.

A warm baby is a happy baby, a happy baby is a sleeping baby, a sleeping baby gives us the images we are after. 

Infrared Heating for Newborn baby photographyInfrared heating

Traditional heating moves cold air from the floor level past the heat source and up to the ceiling. This air cools and then moves back down to the floor level.  This leaves cooler spots at floor level and hot spots at ceiling level. 

Infrared panels heat the walls, people and objects in a room as opposed to the air. This means that the heat can be distributed much more evenly back into the room at a slower rate. This lasting heat ensures that walls stay dry and mould cannot form or spread. Mould  found on walls and ceilings can be toxic and hold harmful allergens. infrared heat can help protect against this and is ideal for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. 

Health benefits
Infrared heat is proven to have many positive health effects such as improving blood circulation, strengthened immune system, improve blood supply to the cells. Additionally it has a relaxing effect on body and mind. Far Infrared heat is used worldwide for providing healthy heat including in baby incubators, in saunas and by Japanese Doctors as treatment for cardiovascular patients.

No dust circulation 
Conventional heating systems can stir up dust and allergens in the process of heating the air within a room. Infrared heating panels don’t  heat the air and because of this there is no dust circulation of any kind.

​Other benefits for newborn photographers
Objects that the baby is going to be placed in and on; are gently heated by the infrared rays. No cold surprises that would unsettle a sleeping baby. Most of the work that we do will be at floor level.  Infrared heating makes sure that this floor level is warm and comfortable.
