I find this video absolutely precious for those who want to have an idea of how a lifestyle session looks like. So many beautiful images, I loved the black and white ones. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for enjoying it and enjoy your own photo sessions. Feel free to ask any questions if you get stuck.

I mainly shoot outside, but recently I had an indoor family session. I should have used the flash because oh boy the Iso..... What are your camera and flash settings please? Next time I would like to try using a off camera flash. Thank you.

@@elisastamerra8892 I set flash setting very low as that is only to complement available light and not over kill it. Watch maybe this video I made recently. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4nCpqGid9irgLc. There is whole blog post for it too. In description.

Thank you!!! This video was super fun to watch and helpful - I learned a lot. Also the shoot has such a nice, peaceful vibe to it!

Thank you for sharing this. There are a lot of videos giving tips on in home newborn sessions, but we all know things don't go as planned. It was nice to see one in action.

[@AFotografyEdinburgh]

Yeap, not always you can get everything you want. Just need to go with the flow.

[@mabra87]

Loved watching this. I’ve got my first newborn photoshoot next week and I’m so looking forward to it

[@ArmandsSprogis]

Enjoy it. Take your time, look for the light and angles. Don't rush. That is the beauty of lifestyle shoots. You can take it slower. Let me know how it goes and if you have some challenges along the way.

[@brahbrah908]

how did it go?

[@susiepopata2459]

well done to you mr photographer, very impressive with the way you interact with the baby and the parents.

[@user-pg9wg9pk9o]

What a great video and insight!! May I ask what your flash adjustment exactly was to just lighten up a bit?

[@nicolecole2310]

These images are beautiful and such a great behind the scene look at a real in home session. Such a great idea about doing more formal shots after baby is sleeping. Would love to know more about the length of your sessions, how you promote in home sessions and what your final products are for your clients.

[@AFotografyEdinburgh]

Yes I would be waiting till the baby is at the calmest part of the shoot to do family photos. Sessions are around 2 hours I would say with all feeds. These are super chilled and natural. I don't promote home shoots. Parents would either like studio or home shoot. Studio involves more props and posing and home shoots are pretty much only about natural photos. I have made whole guide on my site about studio VS home shoots :) Final product can be album or wall art portraits. Normally it would album with portrait box. Hope that answers the questions.

[@anarattrayphotography]

Beautiful work! How many images do you give to your clients in this kind of photoshoot?

[@AFotografyEdinburgh]

Looked at this specific session and it was 113 photos as a final. Keep in mind that this was not the easiest session. Loads of stops and feeds. Baby a bit older etc. Normally it might be a bit more photos I guess. It also depends on how much I would need to edit these photos. If just light, colour adjustments, then more photos, if there are loads of skin edits, then I would keep it to less number to save time and money. Hope it helps.

I learned a lot from this video! What 360° camera do you have mounted?

[@Parice244]

Wow I just stumbled upon this video and I love it! Thank you so much for posting this! Are you shooting the video with a gopro attached to the camera?? It looks so I interesting everytine you put the camera down

[@ArmandsSprogis]

When I shoot for youtube stuff I use 360 degree camera. It is very tedious to edit but I can choose whichever angle I want.

[@janelozadaa9630]

Just stumbled upon this video and I love it!! I’m looking into getting into Newborn photography at home. May I ask what kind of flash are you using to fill in those shadows? Thanks!

[@AFotografyEdinburgh]

Just normal cheap Yanungo flash. These are around £60 new. Nothing special or fancy :) If you want more juice I use Godox AD360II

[@alysaandrews5474]

I’m doing a newborn session Monday! I love this video. How do you deal with possible pee shots (lol) when the baby isn’t wearing a diaper? Do you just go forth and hope for the best? Or is there a strategy there? Thank you!

[@AFotografyEdinburgh]

Hi, There is not really a strategy there. You just tell the parents that these might happen and that we might need extra sets of clothes changes. Accident happens and everyone just keep calm and chill ha ha
