Really great and simple. Thank you!!

Hi Bailey! I suppose you're aware of it but your Amazon links section is not working (unless it's just me trying to access from Spain). Really liked your vids, they are exactly what they should be. Ps. think about selling some of your presets. I think it'd be interesting :)

Love love looooove ur videos keep it up

[@butfirstcrochet]

So helpful. I’m loving your videos. I just got a Canon R 7 and am now kicking myself for not going full frame. I’m so excited to get into newborn photography, thank you so much for sharing you expertise ❤

[@celestesternenberg]

Your video is soooo informative!! I have been wanting to pivot to newborn/ maternity and it always seems as if you needed to over complicate a session and you laid it out so simply. Thank you so much! So excited to dive in!

Hi jude could u plz tell me how did u fill your bean bag.. I got small one like yours but only cover came..

[@IsabellaStanisic]

Hi Jude! :) Do you mind linking the baby bean bag features in this video? Also, the baby blanket you use. Do you put the bean bag, then the blanket and then the sheet over the blanket? Just looking for clarification. :) Also, what studio lighting do you use? Thanks so much! :)

[@kristireese4724]

New subscriber here too! Do you have any suggestions on how to pose older babies? Most of the “newborns” I book are between 1- 2 months old, so it’s very difficult to pose them in a lot of the typical newborn poses

[@tanroj3252]

So informative, I'd like to see how you use the equipment you mentioned in a photo shoot. I've been debating on starting my little business, or let's say a hobby now that I have a 3-month-old little nugget. My camera will be my biggest investment. I also see you didn't mention a lighting source other than the boards or reflector, and I love that. I would love to see how you use them

[@HelloJudePhotography]

I'll definitely add those to my list! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@tanroj3252]

@@HelloJudePhotography thank you for the content and the consideration

[@isaaka977]

Do you ever use any blanket warmers?

[@candaceollis1102]

Hi Bailey, can you share where you get your little headbands?

[@HelloJudePhotography]

I typically get them from different shops on Etsy! Amazon has some every now and then as well, but Etsy is my go-to site!

[@amandadiesburg8134]

Hi there! Where do you get your long swaddles??

[@HelloJudePhotography]

Hey Amanda! I use the ones in my Amazon storefront. You can see that link here: www.amazon.com/dp/B09Q387BD7/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_TW0G29NE56KNW1D1DKY6?linkCode=ml2&tag=hellojudephot-20

[@drewstegner]

Do you have any suggestions for studio lighting or are you only talking about natural lighting?

[@HelloJudePhotography]

Hey! So I operate 99% of the time with just studio lighting. There are a few unique instances (in-home sessions mainly) where I might need to add some additional light source. In that case I either use a soft box or flash (depending on room size).
