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.

Fenna I cannot tell you how important your videos have been for my journey with baby photography!
Thank you so much for making these videos, one can honestly learn 75% if not more of baby photography watching all your videos and the rest in real-time (Handling babies)
Lots of love, thank you Fenna!!
That's great to hear. You might be able to attend a newborn workshop in your country, so you get a real demonstration and some hand on practice
I love your light approach with newborns! So simple and no stress to get the perfect wrap or sleepy pose.
I love how patient and gentle she is with those babies! Pictures also look amazing 👍🏼
Great tips and flow. Thank you for sharing.
What a selfless lady. Thank you for sharing you're knowledge ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing Fenna! I always enjoy your videos! 🥰

Thank you so much for sharing. It’s so helpful
THANK YOU Fenna, you put so much time and effort in ALL of your videos, giving us/me step by step how to go about creating those stunning baby photoshoot...much appreciated, GOD blessed.
You make it look so easy and simple! I’m new to newborn photography and after watching this video I feel more confident that I can do this! I was overwhelmed with all those difficult poses I see in other galleries, so THANK YOU 😊
Amazing amazing video!! In love with your way you explain the whole process....the workflow is logical and very much possible!! Thanks for sharing ....
Would love to see another updated one of these! I love your work!!
Thank you! You provide so much valuable info and work is amazing!
What a wonderful video! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! You've been helped us A LOT!
Another great vid. Thanks Fenna
I would love this job! So cute!!
These are awesome tips and absolutely beautiful photos!
Amazingly helpful! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you Fenna! This is great! Always waiting for your new videos! Looking forward for more!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
also I checked this site I didn't find this particularly colour. Thank you for sharing Fenna! I am watching your channel almost every day as just starting out as a photographer xxxxx thank you again
I love your videos!! Thank u for sharing ❤
I've been watching your videos because i wanna start photographing new born soon. Thank you for sharing detailed and informative videos.
Thank you for sharing. I love your videos.
You are so awesome! I love all of you videos and have learned so much from you. Thank you!!!! ❤
That's really wonderful to hear. Thank you!
thank youuuu sm ur amazing!
I am so grateful for all the great information you mentioned.. Thank you so much
what a great video once again. Thank you! so thorough but also really easy to follow along and very practical advice. Loved it! Thanks Fenna. Tell ya what tho, if i were a parent coming to you i don't think i'd be able to choose which colours and props and backdrops to use cos they're all devine!
Thank you for sharing this Fenna. I have photographed newborns a few times and I always struggle with the workflow so this is super helpful.
That's so great to hear. You're welcome! It also makes sense to start (for example) with the parent/siblings shots, so the make-up of the mom is still fresh and the siblings can leave. However, this works for me better, because I want to take my time to get the newborn undressed and sleepy without having to rush to the family shots.
Very Neat... and helpful! Thanks!
Very good!!!
Amazing video thank you
Hi, Fenna! :) I think I have watched all of your videos, they are so inspiring for me as a new Newborn photographer :) I am checking almost every day, if there isn't a new video from you. :D
Super leuk om je workflow eens te zien!! Zo heb ik het ook geleerd tijdens een workshop. Fijn om zo'n workflow te hebben, want er komt zoveel kijken bij een shoot en als newbie vergeet je dan wel eens iets of ben je even de draad kwijt haha.
Many thanks for sharing the video. My friend has asked me to take photographs of their newborn grand daughter, but I've never shot so small children so took it to youtube for some basic advice.. The first two videos I watched from other photographers made me go...nope, no way I want to be doing this!.... This whole wrapping up the babies to look like kinder surprise eggs, to a point they can hardly breathe just made me feel very uneasy, some of these kids were handled like dolls or even beanbags...nah..it was only until I saw your video from the actual shoot where I myself felt a lot more comfortable and relaxed, never mind your models! They look so unbothered by your photos, and you can see this on the photos. Great job, keep it up!
fenna this vedio is well done and photos are real you have a good future I wish you all the best God bless you------ fram sri Lanka
U r so great mam..😊
Thank you so match 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💝
Hi Fenna! I have my third newborn session tomorrow. The other newborns I’ve done were about two years ago 😬 This video was really helpful! How long do your newborn sessions last? I’d love to see a new updated workflow in your new home studio!
I love your work!!!! I am curious as to how you prep the clients before they come in for their session. Do you advise to feed baby before hand? Do you give them the option to bring in outfits for their session ?
So very helpful!! I wish we were closer my little girl will be here soon and I am struggling to find someone like you to photograph her.
Love your videos. I always struggle with work flow, so this is very helpful. Can you tell us where you get your fabric covers for the Paloma Schell?
Thank you.
thank you!
Hi Fenna, thank you soo much for these really amazing videos. I am curious about that the parents choose the set up before the shoot or you choose them randomly and they agree with it?
Great video ❤️ can I ask what your favourite backdrop/background supplier is ?
Thanks xx
I’m so much impressed by your photography and videos. I love the way you explain and demonstrate. By the way would you be able to drop for me about the gears especially the lens and it’s type which you daily use or need for a newborn and kids photography. I would be really thankful for you mam plz.
SO INFORMATIONAL I DONT EVEN DO PHOTOGRAPHY BUT YOUR VIDEOS BRING ME SO MUCH JOY SOOOO CUTE! THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION LOOOVE YOUR CHANNEL
You are so welcome!
I love your videos and learn alot from them. I see in 1 video that you mount your speedlight facing the back of your softbox. How do you do that? I have a godox and bowens softbox and clip it to the speedlight holder/adapto on a tripodr but I get hotspots that way. I am trying to photograph a new grandson. Thanx
Thank you for your great videos! I'm curious how you structure your pricing for your sessions? Do you charge a certain amount for the session then more $ when they order the images or do you include it all in one package?
Hi Fenna, thank you for the great video. May i know which camera strap you are using?? And you prefer round beanbag stand or square stand ? Thank you 🙏🏻
Cant wait to have my little baby girl with us to make some newborn photos. Great video!!!
Congratulations with the pregnancy. Hope all will go well with your wife and daughter.
@@FennaPhotography Thank you for your kind words, we are super excited about our princess.
Hi Fenna, I really like your style and thank you that you share your work with us.
where did you get your mint Flokati? Mine is quite small. I could not find big size.
The pictures are soo nice even the process itself❤️which light did you use on the baby since the baby it is still so young yet the your pictures are this lovely?
You always looks like so calm! I'd like to know which focal length do you usually use to photograph babies in the Paloma schell puff?
Thank you. I'm not always calm, but the studio really has a calming effect. My sanctuary :) I'm currently editing a video about Focal Distance Distortion, where I also share per photo/situation at what focal length I take the photo. It will be online soon (I hope!).
Great and inspiring video!!! How long does a newborn session with you last?
Very thorough explanation. Thank you. How long does the whole session last or does it vary every client? Do you put a time limit or image limit or prop variation limit? Basically, what is a good number of images per session?
Tanks for sharing the good information!
What is your lens?
I have lens 50 mm f 1.4 ,is it good for baby photography?
@Fenna&Photography you're amazing. Can you tell me about that table where you photo the baby? Is that a custom design or you can make it yourself?
🎉Amazing Video🥳Please tell me what type of round chair are you using ( has a name?) & where did you buy it? Thanks❤️
Thank you Fenna! where did you buy the little teddy bear?
maybe if one day you need a model with black skin and curly hair I'm willing
to be honest, your work is truly amazing
Hey fenna at first thank you so much for sharing all the videos and your workflow...
where i can find the video i can see how to place the posing pillows....
Thank you. You can find the video about the posing pillows here: ruclips.net/video/i7qLpSi9riE/видео.html
Where do you buy your backdrops? Which size do you recommend for cake smash
Thanks!
Thank you for another great video!!!!
Great video! Where do you get your wraps?
Thank you so much for sharing!! Love your videos, so helpful. You work with your 24-70 mm lens, do you know at what mm you most often take photos? And the heater, 😉, do you know the name?
The best to you /Turid
I'm currently editing a video about Focal Distance Distortion, where I also share per photo/situation at what mm I take the photo. It will be online soon (I hope!). The heater is a De'Longhi Ceramic heater. Hope that helps.
Thanks Fenna, I'm a beginner photographer, Like me so much this Kind of photos. I want to know what is the Red and White Thing that you put near the babies?
Like me so much your work 😍😍
Hey fenna, How many different backdrops would you typically use during one shoot? x
Hi Fenna! I saw you at Imaging this year at the millers booth!
That's great! Next time please come over and say 'hi'! I was there by myself and would have loved to chat with you.
Fenna&Photography you are so friendly and Lovely woman. ❤️
I love ur photography,,,,,really superb,,,but i have a question,,,Do you own all these clothes or do we have to buy them?
I've watched this video over and over again. I just love the music and your calm and gentle workflow. Question: Are your flokatis on the bean bag the same ones you use for the floor shots? I have 5x7 flokatis that seem big and heavy....i use them on the floor. Your flokatis on the bean bag look so nice and fluffy....I'm wondering if I should purchase small sizes just for bean bag shots?
Thank you! I just use the same flokati's on the floor and beanbag :)
@@FennaPhotography What size are your flokati's? Thanks for sharing.
hi fenna . where did you get the Circle ring cover with blanket ? What is specific name ?
Can you show how i edit family shoots
Hi Fenna, I wanted to know how do you decide what backdrop you are going to use for a particular session? Do you have a separate counselling session with the parents or do you decide on the day of the shoot?
I ask the parents beforehand which colors they like for their session. I have a video about how I let my clients choose here: ruclips.net/video/ygkU4AIXa1U/видео.html
What is the best camera for photo shoot?
What kind of chair/round thing is that that you use to drape the backgrounds on? I love it!!
It's the Paloma Schell classic stand
Hey Fenna, waar heb jij jou flokati's gehaald? Ik ben eigenlijk alleen op zoek naar een creme kleurige.
Can you please detailed all the props like the fabrics you used to. Thanks!
Hi Fenna First I love ylur pics and photography. My question is about time and prices. How long you do in a newborn session. Like an hour two.. Or so During the all steps photo changing etc.? And how much do you charge for a basic session? Im An event photographer but i want to start with babies I tried once anf i stayed like 3 hours in the all process Thanks.
Very helpful video :) where is your white backdrop from please x
Hi Abbey, I'm not quite sure which one you mean. I get most beanbag backdrops from local fabric markets, heartmade photography props, Petite Blossom or Handmade by Sofie. My vinyl backdrops are from studiobackdrops.eu
What beanbag do you use?
did u use flash or no
What kind of chair or base is the baby laying on? Did you make it of buy?
Hi fenna bedankt voor het delen, ik vroeg me af of jij weet waar je het ijzeren stelling jij noemt het volgensmij “hello Michelle”. Kan halen hier in Nederland !? Groetjes!!
Hi Fenna, Can you please share what is the name of the Ikea bed you used here for the newborn? Thank you.
what size is this backdrop? thank you xx
What lens are you using?
you must be from heaven, thank a lot.
In 18:38 When brother is with baby, where is your light placed? I see a tripod on the left side is that a flash pointing to the background? and I also see your light on the right side on the back.
Hi Fenaa. Hope You Fine. Can you upload a tutorial on wrapping???
I do already have a video tutorial on wrapping. You can find it here: ruclips.net/video/47g0LKdyWRY/видео.html
What is that called that you have the baby on the dish thing
Hello
I'm Brazil
Could you give me a hint?
How many days before was I on the day of the photo shoot?
I'm not quite sure what you are asking. How old the babies were? Most of them were between 2 and 3 weeks old during the photoshoot. You can see more here: ruclips.net/video/9nP9GaoDOj0/видео.html
Can I see pictures before editing please
I learnt so much from you
I do newborns new since 2020 and improved so much
where can you take a newborn workshop
