Natural Beauty: Our Approach to Lighting in Newborn Photography

Post 4 in our Behind the Lens Series- Lighting in Newborn Photography


Welcome back to our 'Behind the Lens' series! This week, we're shedding light on one of the most crucial elements of photography: lighting. At Wildflower Portrait Studio, we understand that the right lighting can transform a photo, bringing out the natural beauty of your newborn.

The Magic of Natural Light

Natural light is a photographer's best friend, especially when it comes to capturing the soft, delicate features of a newborn. Here's how we utilize it in our sessions:

  1. Soft and Gentle: Natural light provides a soft, gentle illumination that enhances your baby's features without harsh shadows. It creates a warm, inviting atmosphere in each photo.

  2. Timing is Everything: We schedule sessions during the day when natural light is at its best. This allows us to make the most of the soft, diffused light streaming through our studio windows.

  3. Window Light Magic: Our studio is equipped with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. We position your baby near these windows to capture that beautiful, natural glow.

Combining Natural and Studio Lighting

While natural light is ideal, sometimes we need a little extra help to achieve the perfect look. That's where studio lighting comes in:

  1. Fill Light: We use soft studio lights to fill in shadows and create a balanced look. These lights are adjustable, allowing us to mimic the effects of natural light when needed.

  2. Consistency: Studio lighting provides consistency, ensuring that we can achieve the same beautiful results regardless of the weather or time of day.

  3. Creative Effects: With studio lighting, we can experiment with different angles and intensities to create unique, artistic effects in your baby's portraits.

Capturing the Essence of Your Newborn

Our goal is to use lighting to highlight the natural beauty and innocence of your newborn. Whether it's the soft glow of natural light or the controlled brilliance of studio lighting, we strive to create images that are both beautiful and timeless.
