- Where to place your light during a newborn photoshoot? What is the most flattering to a face?
In this video I will show where I place my light during two newborn sessions and I will explain where (I think) it's the most flattering to place your light. This can be applied to baby, children and portrait photography as well! I hop you like the video.
Here's some of the items I use:
- camera Nikon D750
- lens Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8
- softbox Westcott 50 inch Recessed Front Apollo JS
- speedlight Godox Speedlite V860II Nikon X-PRO Duo kit
- Round backdrop stand Paloma Schell Classic Stand palomaschellshop.com/
- vinyl backdrops www.studiobackdrops.eu
- floormat white distressed wood www.shopbackdrop.com/
- cake smash bathtub www.newbornprops.eu
- Christmas backdrop www.whosedrop.com
- vlog camera: Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II compact camera
I'm a full-time photographer in the Netherlands and I'm planning on showing you a but more of my life as a photographer. Are you interested in photography? Are you looking for a free-online Photography course? Do you want to see the inside of a Photo Studio? Then please, watch my videos and subscribe to my channel!
I'm planning on sharing videos in which I show you my typical work-week as a photographer. I will give you tips & tricks concerning photography, photo shoots, backdrops, studio props, camera settings (iso, aperture, shutter speed, white balance), photoshoot outfits, photoshoot make-up etc.
Bedankt voor het kijken! Ik ben een full-time fotograaf in Nederland en ik wil je graag iets meer laten zien over mijn werk als fotograaf. Wil je meer weten over (digitale) fotografie? Wil je weten hoe een fotostudio er van binnen uitziet? Ben je op zoek naar een gratis online cursus fotografie? Kijk dan mijn videos en abonneer je op mijn kanaal. Ik zal videos maken over camera instellingen (iso, sluitertijd, diafragma, wit-balans), studio achtergronden, fotoshoot outfits, fotoshoot make-up enz.
IMPORTANT
If you are interested in photographing newborn babies yourself I would highly recommend you to first learn about photography in general. Master you camera, photograph in the Manual mode, learn about aperture, iso, shutter speed, white balance, light and composition. Take photos of your friends (adults or very patient older kids) and make sure you don't have to think about your camera anymore when photographing babies. Learn about editing as well. Please, don't experiment photographing Newborn babies without training. Attend a workshop by an experienced and professional photographer with an expertise in Newborn Photography. Learn about the anatomy of babies and invest in good quality cameras, lenses and props. Babies are extremely vulnerable and small and their safety and comfort should be your highest priority. Start with simple poses and make sure you know and understand that many 'pinterest poses' are composites. Please, don't try this at home. If you want beautiful photos of your own Newborn Baby, I highly recommend you to hire a professional and experienced photographer who is trained and specialised in Newborn Photography.

This video arrived at the perfect time as I am hoping to take some photos of my new granddaughter on Monday. You have 2 flash units, one on the stand and one on the camera. If you only have one flash would you still follow the same directions? Thank You!
Awesome. What lens do you use?
Hiii lovee thiss what softbox is that whats the setup?
Where did you get the light stand for your softbox? It goes really low and I like that
Hi Fenna, can you use flash when their eyes are open?
Where do you get the small little chunky blankets? Like the earth tone one?
Hi!! I love your videos, for someone that is just starting out and money is tight what are your three most important things I would need to get my business going? I just ordered the newborn bean bag. Geanine from New Jersey
Sign up for as many newborn facebook accounts as you can, women on there are extremely helpful. They will answer everything for you. go to Newborn Posing Tips & Tricks Sunny Melon on FB, very very helpful. I've only been shooting newborns for a couple of years & there is so much to learn. & money gets very tight, & these fb sites can help you with tips for less expensive props, gadgets, I wish I had known about them when I first started shooting. I could have save myself some money. Hope this helps.
Hi Fenna! I love your videos ! I was wondering where you got your specific softbox from ?
Also, where do you purchase your white cake smash back drop and does it clean easily?
Hey fenna, where you got your folkati and what are colors you got.
I would love to see a better of how you download your pictures before editing and how you save them afterwards/keep your files organized
For older babies and toddlers do u apply the same lighting technique?? Lights always on the side?
What kind of heater do you have, next to the bin bag ?
Hi there! If I have a ton of infant “costumes” for the photo shoots, do parents hesitate to have their child wear something they haven’t brought? Do parents prefer to use their own clothes?
What settings do you use for this type of photography?
is that another bean bag that you have as well ? with the brown cover on it?
Hi! thanks for the wonderful video! may i please know what is your lens there? thanks
Looks like it might be a 24-70
What size floor drop are those (the wooden ones)?
what lens do you use miss Fenna?:)
Hi Fenna,
Do you charge the same price for doing the babies shots? Then you give them a family photo as well.
Hi, how many speedlights were you using with that softbox? Would using one be sufficient?
Yes, just one works, especially if you're shooting babies.

I'm so confused! I see the softies (is that the correct term?) light source, but it appears that light is coming from the camera flash. Are you using both?
Como queria entender o que diz
in softbox which light are you using and its setting?
ua-cam.com/video/riavZ_ygoWs/v-deo.html
I would like to know, how many lights do you use in total on your session?
Just wonder flashlight would harm the baby eyes
what lens are you using? Looks long
For newborns I usually use my 24-70mm F2.8 lens
Horror light vs Rembrandt light
What is that last track? I love it!
