Hey mums and newbies! Sick of newborn pic flops? I’ve got you!
Hiya, it’s Jess! Blurry, dark baby pics breaking your heart? I started as a clueless mum with a phone, dreaming of cute shots of my girl. I’ve been to workshops with world-renowned photographers, but after 10+ years and 100s of bubs, my best tricks came from my own flops—not fancy lessons. Now, I’ll save you the tears with easy fixes—phone or DSLR, no stress! My free masterclass spills more, let’s snap those little cuties, fun and easy!
Why Dodging Mistakes Saves Your Sanity!
Screw-ups steal time—skip ‘em with these:
- Fast: 5-min fixes—no redo meltdowns.
- Cheap: No fancy gear—just know-how.
- Real Deal: Cute pics, no tears—no pro studio needed, works wherever you live!
Other tips need pros or cash—mine’s simple, free, and nails it. Let’s snap those pics!
Dark Whoops – Light It Up
Dull pics? Don’t shoot in the dark!
- Mistake: Dim rooms—flat, blah shots (my early pics—ugh!).
- Fix: Near a window—soft glow, no flash, tiny toes shine.
- Tech Tip: Phone? Tap bub’s face—sharp every time. DSLR? ISO 200-1600 if it’s dim—crisp, not dreary!
Mums, glowy wins; newbies, pro vibes—too easy!
Shaky Snaps – Steady That Shot
Blurry mess? Don’t wobble!
- Mistake: Shaky hands—smeary pics (I’ve trashed tons!).
- Fix: Hold phone with both hands—steady as. DSLR? Shutter at 1/250 or up—freezes wiggles (my course dives deeper). And Don’t forget to wipe your lenses – phones get so dirty in our pockets and bags!
- Tech Tip: Both hands on—crisp shots, no redo tears!
Parents, save those grins; beginners, nail it—no stress!
Cry Chaos – Calm Bub First
Screaming bub? Don’t snap yet!
- Mistake: Not preparing for the shoot first to keep bubs content – Shooting a crier—red-face flops (been there!).
- Fix: Wrap snug—sleepy in seconds (peek my wrap at https://www.jessicajanaphotography.com.au/how-to-do-newborn-photography-wrap/). Shush like a vacuum— the magic of white noise!
- Bonus: Wave something pretty (rattle, flower)—giggles pop! (for older babies)
Mums, less fuss; newbies, gold shots—pure joy!
