How to set up for a Newborn photo shoot - Photographing a baby boy and girl (BTS)

In this video I'm showing you how I set up for a newborn session. I'm actually showing you twice, because first I'm setting up for a newborn photoshoot with a baby boy and later with a baby girl.
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.

Hi Fenna, I really love all your videos and you are my inspiration. I am a beginner photographer and your videos are very helpful. I'm just wondering if you could also make a video on how you edit the photos? Thank you so much again :)

[@mrpokiesmeister6525]

Great Channel Fenna!

[@angelaway5926]

Love your channel!! thanks for such helpful videos and your photos are so beautiful! I'm just wondering where you got your wood panels where you place the baby in the bowls?

[@frobozzdingle5602]

Fenna...you are such a blessing...love your studio...you are so well organized...that little green leaf that you put in the basket...where did you get it...or did you make it...is it made of felt ?...I love it and thank you for sharing your work and how you do it...

[@agds91078]

Hello from Kentucky sweet! Even your older videos help me so much. Where do you get your soft material backdrops for newborns from?

[@libeluladivina]

Hi Fenna, thank you sooo much for all the knowledge you share. I appreciate it so much. Could you please share the size of your posing table and maybe where I could get one? Could you possibly show how the naked table with bin bag looks like before all the backdrop lyers? Thank you again. Im so grateful! Im starting with new born photography and I'm expecting my first baby myself! So I would love to be ready to take beautiful pictures when my child comes

[@theclabocrew8080]

Love you videos!! Just starting out, where do you get the large blankets? The ones over the bean bag

[@4pitoune]

thank you for your video. I am happy to see that it is possible to make photo with only one speedlight in a big soft box, I thaugth that I need studio flash ....now I can buy a bigger softbox than mine.

[@FennaPhotography]

You're welcome! I think with newborns you really only need one light source. The gentle shadows five the images depth. A big softbox really helps to diffuse the light and make it soft and it helps to let the light wrap around the baby

Hello!!! Thanks for your time and your lovely videos 🙏🏻. What kind of beanbag do you use for newborn sessions? I mean the size and material. Your setups are awesome 😊. Best regards 💜.

[@OlaideDaramola]

Love your videos, trying to learn. Do you buy your backdrop blankets or do you just get stuff at the fabric store. Also what size are they?

[@jessk8559]

Love your videos! What size fabric do you get for your newborn backdrops?

[@jl1515]

I had no idea newborns don't sweat and they shouldn't get too hot. Thank you so much for the useful tip. Can you do a video on precautions needed to be considered for handling newborns?

[@-adri-4335]

Hi Fenna still loving it all your work, I can’t wait until you make the studio light video, it will be so helpful to get some tips from you. Take care, be blessed.🙏🏼😇

[@FennaPhotography]

Thank you! I have already recorded some videos (which I still need to edit...) but more videos about studio light are coming up.

[@vittoriapattyphotography6767]

sei fantastica

[@praveenmariguddi4159]

That was quite informative.. could you please share the different ways to wrap newborn safely?

[@carlosazevedo7748]

Loved the content. Do you have any videos showing you posing the babies? Thanks.

[@FennaPhotography]

Yes, I have a few videos where I'm showing and explaining poses

[@graytree]

Hello from Greece! I love your videos! How cms is your background for cake smash?

[@shanihaim7047]

Hi dear Fenna, Thank you for the amazing videos. Where did you get the smaller backdrop holder? Does is have a specific name? Thanks!

[@meshaa.1037]

Hi Fenna,Thanks so much for sharing your videos! How long do you allocate for your newborn sessions? What type of material do you use for your bean bag back drops? I love your studio space! I am inspired by your videos to do my daughters cake smash. I am just starting out in photography!

[@FennaPhotography]

You're welcome. I reserve 2 hours for a session, but I make sure I have an hour extra for when we need more time. I like buying knitted fabrics or very stretchy fabrics for my beanbag. Have fun with your daughter's cake smash!

[@ilovebrean]

Where do you get your lovely blankets from for the backdrops

[@rublejessica89]

What do you use to edit love a video about it

[@theblissberryphotography7097]

Can u do studio tour briefly plz ma'am

[@thenayways8242]

Where did you buy the basket? I’ve been looking everywhere for one like that and I can’t find!

[@andreadeanda]

Absolutely love the video, may I ask where did you get the backgrounds??? thank you for all your information

[@FennaPhotography]

Thank you! I mostly buy them from stoffen.net or stoffen-online.nl or I get them at markets.

[@Theogwill]

I like that blanket where did you purchase the mint backdrop? Or what kind of material is it?

[@FennaPhotography]

The one with the flowers I got drom heartmade potography props and the other green one I got from stoffen.net

[@marianeudorf1597]

I want to be a newborn photographer when im older

[@alvinjayalabia9400]

i feel so great after watching this. Such an inspiration... :) Do u have a fb page? So i can follow you.... Im learning many things from u... Jet here! :)

[@Apolbis]

Hi Fenna, I’ve watched a lot of your videos and have my first baby session tomorrow, he’s one month old. Thanks for sharing tips and information, I feel more prepared now for the little ones and their parents! May I ask where do you get the little baby wraps?

[@FennaPhotography]

Thank you for watching the videos :) How did the session go? One month old can be a difficult age, since most of the time they won't sleep as much as a Newborn and can't keep their heads up on their tummy either. However, it's also a lovely age where you can make eye contact and might even get some smiles!

[@Apolbis]

Fenna&Photography it went well! The baby was wide awake though but he gave me a lot of smiles and looks at the lens. I can see why it’s difficult to pose on tummy once they’re older. You’ve given me so much more confidence to do more baby sessions! Thank you 💕 Also, I had to cut my long fingernails because I didn’t want to scratch the baby lol

[@Apolbis]

Fenna&Photography Fenna, if you don’t mind me asking again, where do you get the baby wraps from? I tried looking for some around my area and there were nothing like it.

[@betti123]

Where did you buy the backdrop layer fabric? Thanks

[@luxylashes1147]

Hoii! Je maakt echt super leuke videos! Ik vraag me al de hele tijd af waar je hangers hebt gehaald voor de mutsjes en haarbandjes? 🙈🙈 groetjes Daisy

[@justynazauska743]

:) 😍😍😍 Please tell me what r u usinf for recording your yt video:) all the best from Poland :) love all your videos :)

[@FennaPhotography]

I use the Canon Powershot G7 X Mark II. Greetings!

[@wjw476]

What soft box and flash is it that you use?? Exactly?

[@udaraathukorala7268]

Amazing. Thanks forca great video. Just a quick question. If the baby is awake or unsettled do you have to wait until they are sleeping or settled?

[@FennaPhotography]

I love taking photos of awake Newborns as well. I usually wrap them, so they feel comfortable and secure. If they don't feel great, the parents nurse, cuddle and hold the baby until they feel happy again!

[@udaraathukorala7268]

Fenna&Photography thank you so much

[@theblissberryphotography7097]

Hello ma'am your videos and work in amazing can i know the ration in inches of this album size

[@rodrigueznathalie8329]

Bonjour Fenna, je regarde depuis 1 an vos vidéos qui sont formidables ! Merci beaucoup de nous faire partager votre savoir-faire ! Cela m'aide beaucoup en tant que photographe débutante. Pourriez-vous me dire où vous avez acheté les 2 grands bras articulés que vous mettez autour du bean-bag ? Merci pour votre réponse. Bonne conituation ! Nathalie ( France)

[@changgooey]

[@trindadejong6873]

[@jeanphilpott8064]

Hi Fenna . .. Can you tell me what white balance setting you use ?

[@kendramanuel968]

Indoor or shade probably

[@tinaditto5035]

What brand of detergent do you use for washing the fabrics?

[@FennaPhotography]

I use a brand called Neutral or Ecover. It's without perfume or lost of chemicals

[@shahadhernandhi9982]

[@spirituallylovingme-11]

What camera do you use

[@Krisbal]

Hello, Fenna! Tell me please, where can I buy a background beige?

[@FennaPhotography]

Hi Kris, it's this one: www.fotoachtergronden.nl/achtergronden/categorie/effen/2453 But I think they only ship to the Netherlands and Belgium :(

[@Krisbal]

Fenna&Photography Thanks! 😍

[@WynsWorld]

[@evgeniadmitrieva9626]
