Pros

Getting to take photos of newborns.

Cons

The pay scale was really unfair. It was solely on commission. If you did the shoot, edited, and showed the parents, but they wanted to purchase later at a time you weren’t there then all of your earnings went to whoever did the final transaction. They earned a lot of money off of my work. It creates animosity amongst your coworkers. Also, the owners would take us out for these long & lavish meals and spend up to $1000 or more to “thank us”, but never gave us a bonus or raise. It was all very showy and a waste of time. It was actually quite infuriating to have a 4 hour meal we had to attend and not get anything from it. At the hospital there was a lot of wasted time just sitting around waiting for a room to be ready to shoot or show the slideshow or to even decide if they wanted to do it at all. The babies were great, but it’s the difficult parents & family members that made the job so hard.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed working with newborns—that’s truly the heart of what we do. We understand that commission-based roles can feel frustrating, especially if you are unclear about the pay structure. Our pay model is designed so photographers are compensated for both their in hospital and internet sales, and photographers do not earn commission off another photographer’s work. We appreciate your feedback on scheduling and team events as well, and will keep it in mind as we are always looking for ways to improve the overall employee experience. We wish you the best moving forward.

Pros

I have improved as a photographer here, having come in with a recent history in photography. The nurses I work with are also kind and the support is honestly quite kind through bella baby.

Cons

It's just the structure of the job and the loneliness I don't like. Going in to work everyday to not know if you'll make anything isn't long term worth it unless you can stay motivated in the face of potentially no pay.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear that you’ve grown as a photographer and felt supported by both the nurses you work with and the Bella Baby team. We understand that the independent, commission-based structure and working solo can feel challenging at times, and we appreciate your honesty about that. Staying motivated in an unpredictable environment isn’t easy, and we value your perspective as it helps us continue improving support and communication for our photographers.
