There should be virtually no harm in the camera flashes. There is felt to be no harm in examining baby’s eyes with the bright eye scopes used by baby doctors and eye doctors. There is potential harm (in theory only) to the eyes when babies are placed in intense light therapy (phototherapy) for jaundice if their eyes are uncovered for prolonged periods of this light exposure. This is based on damage to the retina, the back of the eye, noted in newborn piglets studied with using phototherapy. This, of course, is much stronger and longer light exposure than many, many camera flashes and still is only a risk in theory, not proven in human babies.
Looking into bright lights for extended periods can also damage the retina. Therefore, don’t look directly at a solar eclipse when observing one. But, this again is prolonged and intensive light exposure. The camera flashes even of a self-proclaimed camera addict are safe for your baby

Capture Every Stage of Your Baby’s Growth in Pictures
Babies are in constant change, from newborn infants until they begin to run. At Digital Creations My Way Photography, i want to help you tell your baby’s story in pictures. I recommend creating portraits of your infant as young as 3 weeks, then at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. Each of these ages has its own special charm that you will want to preserve in the finest available baby portrait photography.
Many new parents hardly have time to sleep, let alone take the perfect photo. My in-home photo sessions are a great way to record a precious moment and provide you with photos that you will cherish for years.
