  • In this video I'm sharing the 10 things I think you need for a cake smash session. Do you want to do a DIY cake smash photoshoot at home with your own son or daughter or with a client? Watch this video & see what I use!
    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.

    I am looking to start doing cake smash photography and I ran into your great videos! Thanks! What a pity I lived in The Netherlands for 2 years but now moved to Switzerland, otherwise I would have loved to take a workshop or course with you.... In the meantime, I will look at your other videos as well. Thanks a lot for sharing them!

    Can you please talk about your process of how the clients choose the colours and such. Do you give them ideas to choose from or do you have backdrop photos online for people to choose from? The few I’ve done recently I more so style the shoot, but just kinda wondering what your process looks like because sometimes you say things like “they requested this and this” and I’m just like.. how!! Lol ! Do you let parents dress their own kids? What if they wear obnoxious patters or something that doesn’t look right with the backdrop the parents want etc. Thankyouu

    Hola Fenna, me encanta el trabajo que haces, soy una gran seguidora tuya y aprendo mucho de ti, lo único malo es que no entiendo mucho el inglés, me sería de muy gran ayuda poder entenderte por lo que le propongo que estudie la idea de poner subtitulos en la parte inferior y así poder llegar a más público que a lo mejor le pasa lo mismo que a mí y es una pena, igualmente yo siempre veré sus videos.
    Gracias por mostrarnos su trabajo y espero que mi propuesta fuera posible.
    Un saludo desde España!!

    Would like to know about newborn courses (if you can please send me recommendation) and what soap you use in the bathtub session.
    Thanks a lot and keep going with this kindness and professionalism! You really inspire me!

    Hello from Canada! Love this video! I am trying to start doing photography and I want to do a cake smash for my daughters first birthday next month! What size are your backdrops? Where do you buy your plain coloured backdrops (do you know of any websites to look at in USA/Canada?

    • @FennaPhotography
      @FennaPhotography  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My backdrops are usually 2 meters wide and about 3 meters long. I have some which are 2 meters long, but I prefer them to be a bit longer. I order mine from a Dutch website (www.fotoachtergronden.nl), but they only ship to the Netherlands and Belgium. I'm hopefully reviewing some backdrops soon from a well-known backdrop vendor who ships worldwide. It'll be a separate video!

      @@Latte-girly90 The difference is that with this type of party, the child is encouraged to behave like an animal and everyone laughs at them. Sure, adults do this too, like at a wedding where the bride and groom may smash wedding cake in each other's face, which takes away from the dignity of the celebration. People laugh at all of these things in the same way they laugh at a person slipping on a banana peel. Not funny.
