Behind the Scenes: Photographing a Baby In Studio
In this behind-the-scenes video, I'm photographing a three-month-old baby and her parents in my Seattle studio using the same simple one-light setup I use for most of my newborn and family sessions.
I don't believe lighting needs to be complicated, or that you need a huge studio, multiple lights, or elaborate setups to create beautiful, natural-looking photographs.
My goal is always to create soft light that feels like beautiful window light, while giving me the consistency and control of a strobe.
In this video you'll see:
My one-light studio setup
Where I position my strobe and modifier
How I photograph a baby and parents with the same setup
What a real session looks like when you're working with actual families, not professional models
