simply amazing!!! your videos have been a great resource for us photographing our own child with no previous experience in taking photos of babies, there are so many thing we never would have thought of
I don't even have a baby (nor am I pregnant) but somehow I ended up here and kept watching :D At least now I can tell my friends (who are seemingly all expecting) what kind of shoot they can make with the babby :D Thanks for sharing this with us!
Hi I enjoy all your videos so much. I wonder if you can make a video about how to do the photoshoot packages and how many photos does included? That would be awesome . Thank you!!
A big thank you for all the time you put to prepare very good videos! I learn a lot with everything you explain. I was wondering if it was possible for you to show us the setup when you take pictures of families, with 2 or 3 children. Thanks again, from Canada
Thank you for another GREAT video Fenna. I agree. Baby feet are the cutest. One day my 10 year old niece was messing with my phone and I was complaining that I was almost out of storage. She started looking at all of the pictures in it. I had taken pictures of just my baby granddaughter's feet. She said "Aunt Val, do you really need all of these get pictures?" YES! They are all cute! 😂😂
Thank you so much, you are absolutely wonderful for making and sharing this video. I watched it so many times and have just attempted my own cake smash session at home. I feel it was a success thanks to you. Love your channel and as a mum wanting to capture those moments in our family’s life I am inspired by you.
I think I need to get a backdrop similar to yours. I use paper and had to bin a very large section today after a cake smash and bath session :( Tricky to find in the UK though!
What you can also do is use some type of clear glass over your paper backdrop. I haven’t done it because I don’t know exactly what type of glass it is. But I’ve seen many photographers do t.
I really appreciate that you share your know how and ideas. They are very helpful! One question.. is your background white or Beige? I'm looking for warm white background. That is what i'm looking for.
I have a video already about these backdrops and in my 'favorites' videos I share about props as well. When I get a new backdrop I will review them in new videos. One coming up soon!
I love your videos! You really are an amazing Photographer, Mother and Teacher. You have inspired me Thank you! I have some questions I would really appreciate your reply. How do you store your vinyl Backdrops? Do they wrinkle? and if they do how do you fix them? also Do you use Lightroom or photoshop? It would be great if you could do a video about that. Thank you again : )
Thank you so much for your compliments. I store the backdrops rolled up on cardboard tubes (they actually ship them on these tubes). Most of them are stored in a corner in my studio standing up. I can also lay them flat behind my backdrop system. This way they don't wrinkle. I use photoshop!
Love your channel so much you really help give so much helpful info. I was wondering if you already have or would consider a video on what type of packages to offer. Do you offer package? Like when you do these photos and then as a bonus of siblings or family do you use those to upsell? Or do you have a flat rate and it includes so many shots and that’s it. Any info on this type would be helpful. Let me know if you already have that would be awesome! Oh and last question I know there was a video you spoke about cool peg board type photos that clicked into Something... I can’t find that video again and trying to find where I could order those in the US. Could you tell me where to get those or what those are called?
Hello, what do you (and other photographers) do with the extra photos parents don't buy? Do you add them to your website or Facebook page? Or do you just discard them?
No, at this moment I don't. However, when school starts again, I'll be photographing Mondays-Fridays, with maybe 1 or 2 shoots on Saturdays. Sunday will be my off-day again.
Hoi hoi, een vraagje over je instellingen van je camera. Zorg je dat het donker wordt op je camera bij het maken van een foto zonder flash. En dat de foto alleen wordt belicht met de flash en niet met het daglicht. Hoop dat je mij begrijpt 😁. Bij voorbaat dank. Grtjes shaliny
Hi Fenna! I love your channel. You are my favorite photographer to watch. Please help me though. What kind of bench is it that you use? I would love a similar one, but I don't even know what to call it to search. "Infant sitter baby bench" probably isn't it lol Thanks! Following you from the US!
Hi I’m interesting about photography. I watched your TH-cam channel and I have a question for you. Being a photographer do you need to have any license?
Photographing newborns is a very different and specialist skillset; if you're skilled enough to be shooting newborns I don't think you'd need to ask this question. I hope you don't take it the wrong way, it's just not good to jump into taking newborn photos and posing them without proper training 🙏 My suggestion would be to find a local person who can train you, or at least take a course online, and also get a posing doll to practice on first.
@@MiaogisTeas Hey thanks for your input even though you dont know me or what "skill set" I may have. 💁I'm always going to ask questions. Not only because I'm entitled to do so but Isn't that why we come here ? To watch listen and learn ? Continue on ✔ Thanks and have a great day ! Be Blessed.

Your channel is a treasure. Every single video, I can learn more and more. Thank you very much for that

This is great to read. No idea why it was recommended to you, but thanks for watching anyway. Ps. forward the link to the video to your friends!
@@FennaPhotography will do :D The TH-cam algorithm is weird :P
Thank you for taking your time to explain step by step. Now I have a better idea of hat photos I should take to my baby at home. 👍🏼. Excellent job

What kind of back drop do you use for the bottom to wipe it clean ?
It's a once piece vinyl backdrop (2 meters wide and 4 meters long) from www.studiobackdrops.eu
You’re amazing!!!!!!!
Omg this video is great! I love it! Pictures came out awesome!!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Such a well behaved baby 😍
Thank you so much, you are absolutely wonderful for making and sharing this video. I watched it so many times and have just attempted my own cake smash session at home. I feel it was a success thanks to you. Love your channel and as a mum wanting to capture those moments in our family’s life I am inspired by you.
This was sooooo helpful!! That baby was an easy one, Im sure.... Gonna attempt it with my very active 1 yo kiddo 😅
I am so stupid to watch this video after I took the cake smash with my boy, but I am happy with my pics I learnt so much from you already, thank you!
I wish my baby is this calm 😭😭😭 But thanks a lot. This is very helpful ❤️
I am also looking forward to your new content.....thanks dear fenna
From Bangladesh
Learning so much! Thank you 😊
Love!! Thanks so much!
Amazing, how many lights do you use for cake smashes?
Hi Fenna! I love your videos. They are super helpful! Curious what size vinyl backdrop you usually use during your cake smash session?
She is using 2meter wide by 4 meter long.
Can you do a video where to setup the lights ?
Thank you for sharing these! I am soon to start my own studio, too. Thank you for inspiring. ❤️
I think I need to get a backdrop similar to yours. I use paper and had to bin a very large section today after a cake smash and bath session :( Tricky to find in the UK though!
Those vinyl backdrops are expensive, but it's a good investment over time.
What you can also do is use some type of clear glass over your paper backdrop. I haven’t done it because I don’t know exactly what type of glass it is. But I’ve seen many photographers do t.
I is called perspex over in the uk it is plastic sheeting....I worry if a little one slips on it though?
Plexiglass / acrylic glass
Thanks, super useful
Glad to hear that!
Hello Fenna, congratulatios to your work!
One question, why 500/640 for ISO?
I really appreciate that you share your know how and ideas. They are very helpful! One question.. is your background white or Beige? I'm looking for warm white background. That is what i'm looking for.
Can make a video on your background drops and props
I have a video already about these backdrops and in my 'favorites' videos I share about props as well. When I get a new backdrop I will review them in new videos. One coming up soon!
Brilliant.
Love the video, simple yet so amazing tips 👌🏽
Thank you for your sharing but how do you keep the paper clear and no destroy when you hv many baby customers in a day??
Lovely photo your so talented what size backdrop do you use
This is one 2 meters wide and 4 meters long. However, the wider the better!
I love your videos! You really are an amazing Photographer, Mother and Teacher. You have inspired me Thank you! I have some questions I would really appreciate your reply.

Hello, what do you (and other photographers) do with the extra photos parents don't buy? Do you add them to your website or Facebook page? Or do you just discard them?
Hi Fenna! Do you charge extra if the session is on sunday?
No, at this moment I don't. However, when school starts again, I'll be photographing Mondays-Fridays, with maybe 1 or 2 shoots on Saturdays. Sunday will be my off-day again.
Very usefull, thanks!!

Hi!
What if the parents don't want all "must-have" photos? They choose the photos or you, or?
The parents choose their photos from the gallery. Usually I have between 25 and 35 unique and edited pictures in the gallery to chose from!
@@FennaPhotography Thanks! :)
what lens do you use ? 24-70?
Where in Canada are you located
Hi I’m interesting about photography. I watched your TH-cam channel and I have a question for you.
Being a photographer do you need to have any license?
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Hey fenna 😘 another feeT informative vid 👍 could you also have a video like this for newborns ? I need go to poses 😒 help please 😁 and thank you.
Photographing newborns is a very different and specialist skillset; if you're skilled enough to be shooting newborns I don't think you'd need to ask this question.
