Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken in my basement studio during a newborn photo session.Time
We started the shoot at 9am and wrapped up around 1pm. Miss Bella was super fussy and was done, but mom really wanted the shot. Mom sat next to the suitcases holding a nook for Bella, and rubbing her back. Once she fell asleep she yanked the book out and I snapped 2 photos before Bella gave us a full demonstration of her lungs...again.Lighting
I just had my main light camera left and a fill light camera right.Equipment
I used my Canon 5d Mk III with my 24-105 lens.Inspiration
The mom came up with the idea of the suitcases....I just threw the red wall behind it for a different look and contrast, and the bear.Editing
Not a lot. Just did a few adjustments in Lightroom with contrast and highlights.In my camera bag
I mainly shoot weddings, so I like to keep my 70-200 f2.8 handy, and il falling in love all over again with my 50mm f1.4. I also have my 24-70, 35mm, 90mm macro, and my 16-35.Feedback
Get everything set up early and your lighting down before putting a baby in the scene. Make sure baby is well fed and has recently been changed, and a space heater is nearby. The more comfortable your subject, the better the chance you have of not disturbing them. (Also, lots of cheap towels to prop them up under blankets!).
