Hack #1 – Nail Perfect Light with No Gear

Light’s the trick—makes pics pop, no matter your camera!

  • Face bub to soft window light—glowy, not harsh.
  • Prop your phone or DSLR on a book—steady shots, or hold steady with both hands – no blur.
  • Tap bub’s face (phone) or focus manual (DSLR)—sharp every time.
    Mums, this saves your day; beginners, it’s pro-level easy! More in my free masterclass—https://vip.jessicajanaphotography.com.au/newborn-photography-training/.

Hack #2 – Calm Bub Like a Boss

Cranky bub = no pics. Chill ‘em out fast:

Hack #3 – Easy Poses That Wow

Safe, cute poses—no pro skills needed!

  • Lay bub on a blanket—tummy down or curled (newborn) laying on back, sitting (6 months+).
  • Add a toy or something pretty they can hold (older babies) or basket—adorable every time (ideas at https://www.jessicajanaphotography.com.au/5-cute-newborn-photoshoot-ideas-at-home/).
  • Shoot from above—stand over bub or climb on a chair (careful!) and point your phone or DSLR down. It makes their tiny face and milestones—like those first rolls or sits—pop big time. Parents go nuts for these sweet, close-up shots that show off every little detail; beginners feel like pros fast ‘cos it’s so easy to get right! Mums love the cuteness; newbies gain confidence quick.

Hack #4 – Pretty Pics in a Messy Home

Toys all over? Nappy chaos? No worries—here’s how:

  • Push mess aside—small clear spot’s enough.
  • Use a plain blanket—hides the mess, looks clean.
  • Zoom in tight—bub’s the star, not the chaos!
