I’m a full-time photographer in the Netherlands and I’m planning on showing you a but more of my life as a photographer. Are you interested in photography?

Bedankt voor het kijken! Ik ben een full-time fotograaf in Nederland en ik wil je graag iets meer laten zien over mijn werk als fotograaf. Wil je meer weten over (digitale) fotografie? Wil je weten hoe een fotostudio er van binnen uitziet? Ben je op zoek naar een gratis online cursus fotografie? Kijk dan mijn videos en abonneer je op mijn kanaal. Ik zal videos maken over camera instellingen (iso, sluitertijd, diafragma, wit-balans), studio achtergronden, fotoshoot outfits, fotoshoot make-up enz.
IMPORTANT
If you are interested in photographing newborn babies yourself I would highly recommend you to first learn about photography in general. Master you camera, photograph in the Manual mode, learn about aperture, iso, shutter speed, white balance, light and composition. Take photos of your friends (adults or very patient older kids) and make sure you don’t have to think about your camera anymore when photographing babies. Learn about editing as well. Please, don’t experiment photographing Newborn babies without training. Attend a workshop by an experienced and professional photographer with an expertise in Newborn Photography. Learn about the anatomy of babies and invest in good quality cameras, lenses and props. Babies are extremely vulnerable and small and their safety and comfort should be your highest priority. Start with simple poses and make sure you know and understand that many ‘pinterest poses’ are composites. Please, don’t try this at home. If you want beautiful photos of your own Newborn Baby, I highly recommend you to hire a professional and experienced photographer who is trained and specialised in Newborn Photography.

Love your videos.. I used to watch your videos when i started doing Newborn photography
great tips x
You are an inspiration!! Your tips and tricks are so real and so helpful for new photographers like myself… anytime I have some doubts or questions, I look at your videos and I always find my answers there! Thank you so much for being you and sharing your journey!! You are awesome!!😀👍
Thank you for these lovely and encouraging words. I’ve a session tomorrow and I’m a little nervous but I’m going to take on board everything you’ve just said – thank you for sharing xx
I really love the way you explain stuff
Unfortunately these sessions with babies are all similar, they look like the same baby photographed by the same photographer, nothing against his work if he had the least amount of originality, but there are thousands and thousands of photographers doing this.
The only way for a baby to be unique is for him to be photographed awake, but I know, they are difficult to guide, but the photographs show more of the individual and after all we are photographing a complete human being, not a cat breed. Sorry for my honesty.
Try the best carpenters and woodworkers plans. Woodglut.
Oh my god this is so helpful!!! I was looking exactly for this type of tips, thank you SO much for sharing!! Esp. didn't know about the 10 days old stuff (and most of my newborn sessions are when baby is 10 days old), so extremely helpful!!! Thank you!

Thanks, Fenna- today I had my first newborn shoot and baby was fussy and/or feeding the whole time- it was rough, but these tips are helpful and hopefully it will get easier as I go along. I plan to try a reshoot with this baby- she was just having a rough time:) I love your channel!
You are wonderful!
Thankyou so much for sharing the helpful tips
Have you ever had a photo shoot where you felt like you couldn’t get any good photos because the baby was awake and moving and fussy? If so, do you reschedule?
can you please make a video on what are the basic materials that will help me start , like the posing pillows, the rabbers and so on
I would like to ask what Lens do you use for all sessions? 🙂

I love your videos. you are so inspiring. I am so motivated again, after my parental leave I lacked some motivation, I do not know exactly what it was, but I'm really in the mood. Thank you for sharing everthing. Greetings from Germany
