Why Lighting Hacks Win
Good light = cute pics—here’s why they’re your bestie:
- Fast: 5 mins to glow—no faffing with setups when bub’s fussy.
- Cheap: Windows, blankets—free stuff you’ve already got!
- Real Deal: Works in any home—messy or not, perfect wherever you’re snuggled up!
Other tips push pricey lights—mine’s simple, quick, and nails it for mums and pros. Let’s dive in!
1. Window Glow – Soft Magic
- How: Park bub near a window—soft light floods in, no harsh shadows to ruin the vibe. If it’s too bright (like my client’s verandah-free spot), double up a white sheet—dims it down, keeps it cozy.
- Shoot: Face the light—eyes sparkle, skin glows, tiny curls pop against a blanket backdrop.
- Win: Free, pro vibes—saves time and sanity, glowy pics every snap!
2. Door Boost – Extra Pop
- How: Crack open a door near bub—extra light spills through, lifts those little details when windows alone won’t cut it. Angle it to soften, no direct blast.
- Shoot: Side angle—cheeks catch a gentle glow, no dull flatness, perfect for variety beyond the bed.
- Win: Bigger shine, no cash—turns dim flops into client-worthy shots!
3. Curtain Trick – Gentle Filter
- How: Drape a thin curtain (sheer or old sheet) over the window—softens bright sun, cuts glare, keeps bub calm. Layer two if it’s still punchy—dreamy haze guaranteed.
- Shoot: Overhead snap—curls glow against a textured blanket, no harsh lines stressing you out.
- Win: Calm light, mess hidden—sanity saved for weekly memory shots
4. Tap Focus – Phone Fix
- How: Tap bub’s face on your phone screen—locks light and focus fast, sharp every time, even in dim corners. Clean that lens first—pockets make it grotty!
- Shoot: Zoom a bit—details sing, no blurry tears, perfect for quick pics between feeds.
- Win: Free app magic—pro shots on a phone, confidence boost for beginners and pros!
5. Blanket Bounce – Glow Cheat
- How: Prop a white blanket near bub (fold it thick or layer linen + knit)—bounces light back, fills shadows, brightens that sleepy face without extra gear.
- Shoot: Front snap—face shines, no flat pics, texture adds depth for IG-worthy variety.
- Win: DIY pro trick—saves cash, hides mess, glowy wins in minutes!
