These turned out so beautifully. It was sweet to watch you pose, and soothe her. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome! I'm glad that you found it helpful!
Thank you definitely going to try doing pictures for my baby tomorrow
You're very welcome! I hope everything goes well! Keep in mind to keep baby nice and warm
Cool work !! All the best !
Thank you!
I was distracted by her cuteness 🥺❤
Thank you soo much for this tutorial
You're very welcome! I'm so glad that you found it helpful!
I'm used to doing these types of photos with 1 month or younger. I have a 2 month old I'm photographing tomorrow so I was looking for inspiration. I was originally going to photograph this baby within the first couple weeks. This makes me glad to see something like this could still be possible
I'm so glad that you found it helpful, hopefully your session went well!
@@MyBigCamera it actually did not go like this. She cried the whole time :( she was having a rough day. I managed to get something in between the crys though. She was awake and wouldn't sleep
Love this can you like the backdrop your using ?
Thank you! It's just stretchy fabric from the local fabric store :)
I love your work. The way you handle babies is awesome. You click superb pics. My daughter's a month old but due to covid, I couldn't arrange a photoshoot for her so will try by myself at home.
Can you just tell me how to prepare the bed? What bed sheet cloth you using ? I saw those 'clips' to tightly hold the bed sheet and I ordered them online but have no idea about bed sheet cloth. Please let me know.
Thank you so much! We use a large bean bag but it could be possible to try on a bed as well. I would recommend layering several blankets underneath the fabric. We use several fleece blankets. They should be thin blankets, not comforters. We then use a textured blanket as our main posing blanket or a stretchy jersey type of fabric. Stretchy fabrics work best to help to avoid wrinkles. Hope that helps!
I've got a baby photoshoot today. Great info and techniques.
Thnk you so much! I was unprepared and ddnt thnk about a photoshoot untill recently with my 1 mbth old and had visitors over so missed out on a shoot pmus.. $950 fr 10 photos is out of my budget so after watching ur vid i learnt how to do it myself! Thank you :) x
you're very welcome! I'm so glad that you found it helpful!!
So far my favorite instructor I’ve seen, do you have an IG? Or FB?
Thank you so much, that is very sweet!! Yes! You can find us on instagram at @my_big_camera and we have a facebook group that you can join at: facebook.com/groups/290666855419734
We're really sorry about the audio in this video! We have figured out the issue and the audio should be much better in future videos! We are thinking of re-recording the audio and re-uploading the video at some point. Let us know if this is something you would like to see!
Your baby is beautiful and this was an extremely helpful video! Do you have a recommendation for diaper covering when photographing boys? I know a wrap works well for some pictures, but what about the bum up?
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you found it helpful! For boys I like to use a lot of knitted pants but cloth diaper covers work well too. Sometimes you can find some for cheap in thrift stores. They're the ones that would have belonged to a little girl dress and is usually just a solid coloured fabric. If you can find one small enough for a newborn, those work great. I also have a set of coloured cloth diaper covers that I purchased off of etsy many years ago. I don't remember the shop but if you look for cloth diaper cover prop, something should come up. Hope that helps!
@@MyBigCamera yes! Thank you!
Loved the vid❣️ how do prep for this type of sessions? Do you do them around the time babies typically take their nap?
Thanks!! If possible, yes that works the best, especially the older the baby is. But babies that are a month old or less can really only be awake for short periods of time anyway so the timing shouldn't matter too much however I do find that babies sleep better during the day.
I dont have any problem working with nbs but I cant get older babies to fall asleep. Around a Month-2months old
@@melissazepeda6043 around two months or older, I would recommend trying to do it closer to their nap time. But most of the time, the baby will be awake and I will photograph them just like a 3 month old. We have two videos on posing 3 month olds on our channel. If the baby enjoys being swaddled, I usually try to wrap them and that can usually get them asleep. Sometimes if they get tired enough during a session and it's close to their nap time they will fall asleep. I recently had a set of 7 month old twins and one of them fell asleep at the end of the session so I was able to get a couple shots of her sleeping in a bowl. But I would say after 8 weeks I generally wouldn't bother trying to get sleeping poses unless they seem sleepy toward the end of the shoot and then I will try wrapping them and see if they fall asleep for 1 or two shots.
thanks for the actions but how do we use them
Aw shes so cute
thank you so much!!
Bet shes not so little no more you should do one of her as an elf or a lil reindeer that would be so cute if u filmed it to
@@tonyaclark6112 Thank you for your feedback! We might do a christmas themed shoot. I'm not sure what we have planned yet as this month has been very busy but we might consider that!
This was so great to watch, thank you! I’m not a photographer, but I’m dabbling in it because I love it, and I’m headed to a shoot for my friends one month old because she was really disappointed in the newborns she paid for. I was scared it would be impossible to get anything but these tips are making me feel super excited!
Awww I'm so glad! I'm sure you did great! It takes a lot of time and practice to do newborn photography so just keep it simple and focus on lighting and the photos will be great :)
amazing
thank you!
This video was very helpful. Can I try this on 3month old baby
It really depends on the baby, most 3 month olds will likely not sleep like this unless it's your own baby and they're comfortable with you. However it will work with some babies up to 2 months old. We just photographed a 7 week old baby and were able to get newborn type shots with him
Omg so cute! And had me laughing bc thats exactly my son, I would fix his head and he woul stretch out his legs 🤣
haha awww that's adorable!!
Unfortunately covid ruined any chance of me having newborn photos done, my son is a month and I’m really upset I don’t have those photos. So I’m going to try this at home myself
Awww I'm so sorry :( That really sucks! Hopefully this helps, let me know if you have any questions
Is there any way the free photo shop actions can be emailed instead of clicking on the link? (once I added my email address and name, the next page showed it wasn't a secure site, so didn't click on it). Just curious :)
Yup, for sure. You can pm me your email address and I will email it to you :) If you aren't able to do that through UA-cam then you can do so through instagram @my_big_camera
What pillows/posing beans did you use and how did you place them?
These are the ones that I have: amzn.to/3lM5tJP and I just slide them in under all of the layers of blankets. I usually use about 4-4-5 fleece blankets underneath my posing fabric and I slide the pillows under all of that. They work really great. I used to have to shove a bunch of towels under there and build it up to where I want the baby positioned but the posing beans are nice and firm and the perfect sizes to be able to just slide one underneath where I need it. I tend to use the biggest one for the head on arms position, the medium sized ones for bum up and the small one when I just need a bit of an extra lift or I just want to lift the bum or legs a tiny bit. Hope that helps!
Head band how much mam.. Where did buy
Hi, what lighting did you have there? Camera flash? Any continuous lighting? I have a friend coming for a photoshoot in 2 days and am not sure about the lighting... I have 3 strobes
I use 1 strobe and it's an einstein. I don't use continuous or on camera flash. I just use the 1 strobe and a reflector
@@MyBigCamera I was going to ask the same about your lighting. But you are not using modifier, just a reflector?
@@diagalfel I use one strobe with a plm umbrella from paul buff, the light is turned away from the baby and is reflected back by the silver inner lining of the umbrella and through the white softbox fabric on to the baby. I also have a reflector on the other side to fill in shadows. That's all I use for all my sessions, just one light with the plm umbrella
I found this very helpful, as I have often been asked to do older babies....and am not quite sure what to do with them. :-) Also, where did you get the plain white diaper cover?
I'm so glad you found it helpful!! haha, that diaper cover I bought at the thrift store. I think it was a little diaper cover that went with a dress. I have purchased similar ones in other colours on etsy, though. I have a black one and a navy blue one that I use for boys sometimes :)
@@MyBigCamera Ahh! Never thought to check a thrift store!! I'm going to keep my eye out before etsy or amazon! Thanks!!
@@stephaniepeck8354 no problem! I've actually found a bunch at the thrift stores for $0.99 each in different colours and sizes :)
Can this post be use on 3 months baby?
I would say that it's best for babies 2 months and under but it really depends on the baby. I've had a 6 month old baby in the studio that I was able to photograph sleeping but that's pretty rare. My daughter was really good at staying asleep like this up until 7 months old but I would say most babies are not like that
OMG my ovaries are twitching!! Soooo beautiful!!
Thank you!!
God this is terrifying, I’ve never taken photos of a baby before, tomorrow my first time. Jesus
Hopefully everything went well! My best advice to you is keep it very simple if you're just starting out. Focus on lighting and creating timeless images for your clients rather than fancy poses and props
@@MyBigCamera haha thank you it went very well and I’ve scored a baptism job for one of her friends!
@@goat2503 oh that's so awesome! I'm so happy for you!
