What do you finalize your pics at? 5×7 ? Square?
Muchas gracias
Hi from South Australia . I just love you videos and I find them so helpful with my business . I am in the process of purchasing same vinyl backdrops and I was wondering what size you purchase for your cake smashes? This maybe have been asked before but I’ve scrolled through comments and struggling to find. I’d be so grateful if you could get back to me. Keep to the amazing work. 🙏
Amei tudo, as fotos ficaram lindas!
Hello Fenna, thank you for doing this. My question will be, what application do you use for invoices . Best regards from Australia
I did a cake smash with a pink vinyl backdrop and now i have frosting stains everywhere. How do i take them out or avoid this?
Hello❤️ I have a question how do you give clients the photos ? A special website or
Hi Fenna. At first I want to tell you how amazing you are and I love your videos 🙂 Thank you for them 🙂
And my question is more a less the same like couple people alreafy ask for: how big are you vinyl backdrop and can you tell one more time where you order? I know that was in one film that you was talking about but now I don't remember which one. Thank you 🙂
Waar heb jij een cursus newborn gevolgd. Ik zie van alles voorbij komen met behoorlijke prijzen. Als ik ga investeren hier in , wil ik graag zeker weten dat ik mijn geld goed besteed. Vriendelijke groeten Marcia
Hi Fenna! I am happy u will do a Q&A. My question is how big is your studio? How many metres I mean? Thank you
My Questions
1. What do you do if you have a newborn that's crying all the time and copuld get soothed? Do you try it at another day and do you get extra charge for that? I had it once and after 90 min of trying to sooth him, I said, that it makes no sense and tryed it the next day.
2. I often need 4 to 5 hours for a newborn shoot. IWth sibilings, parents, 3 props, 3 ways on beanbag. Most of the time try to sooth baby, try for him to sleep, getting fed etc
I want to take it doan to 2 to 2,5 hours…how do i archive that?
My questions:
1) Hows Jamie?!
2) Are the kids still excited about the move?
3) What are you most excited about with regards to the move?
4) What bare essential props would you suggest for a beginner newborn only photographer?
5) What's the most outrageous demand/want a client has ever had for their pics?
Hello Fenna, I really love your work. My baby is turning One soon. The theme is "The Swan Lake" the ballet. Could you work in a video with this theme? I will love your ideas. Congrats and thanks.
What are your most popular products you sell? Love your channel girl! Always a joy to watch and is inspiring. So thank you!
Hi Fenna, i wonder if you ever use those cute sleepy time hats for newborns, i would love to see a video of you making a sleepy time neborn hat diy
Hi Fenna! I would like to know which software you use to create your video montages on Youtube? I would like to create short videos for my Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest accounts, do you recommend one in particular?
Thanks again for all your work!
Hi Fenna 🙂you are such an amazing person 🥰 i really would love to attend a Workshop taught by you 😍😍😍 Are you planning to offer workshops soon? 🙂
Hi Fenna! What is your favourite part of your work? 🙂
I love your videos, and it's good to see your energy and passion about the kids photography AND the quality of your work. But it seems, it's always the same, day by day, just the kids and the decoration changes. I'm sure, that I'm wrong, so could you tell us something about your motivation and challenges? 🙂
I would love to know if there is a reason you use higher ISO instead of increasing the lighting? Probably a silly question 😂
Hi Fenna! I love your videos and the way you explain is very clear and useful. The questions I have are :
1. Do you select the photos you deliver your clients according to the package they bought or do you send them extra photos for them to pick and charge them for the extra photos additional to the pack?
2. Do you have any kind of insurance for accidents?
3. Do you make the parents sign an authorization to show the photos in social networks?
Thanks a lot! I will be waiting for your q&a video!
Hi Fenna can I have your email? I want to show you a DIY smash cake photoshoot guided by your videos
Thank you so much for your videos! I find them ultra helpful. I wonder what is your go to lens for studio photography with one year old children. Also how do you entertain them and keep them in one place when you have busy ones, who walk around.
Hello Fenna, what size vinyl backdrops do you use? I keep buying the wrong sizes 🤦🏻♀️ either too short and not wide enough, thank you 😊
How many sessions do you schedule a week and how many days a week. Also what is your typical editing time for a newborn session and milestones. A newborn session typically takes me a couple days since my baby is still so little and I have to stop a lot:) Love your channel❤️
Another question 🙂 sometimes the baby is asleep but with silly faces, what do you do if you know they will not shine as beautiful as you would like in the picture? Do you wait, you try to change the expression, what do you do?
Hey Fenna! Love watching all your videos and your bond with your children as they help with projects and come to work with you!! QU: would be really interested to find out about contracts/agreements and covering yourself with regards to the cake eating. Thank you 🙂 Kezi x
Hi, I love watching your videos! I have 3 questions for you: 1. How do you keep the tissue paper honeycombs from being squished during a cake smash? 2. The vinyl backdrops I have are really slippery and I have tried a few different things to keep them from moving under an energetic 1 y.o. (mostly I just have their parents sit close), any tips or what do you do? I want to make sure they don't get hurt and I don't give myself extra photoshop work. 3. When you are doing family portraits with more than 1 baby/toddler, do you have tricks to get them to look at the camera at the same time or do you composite the image together (I usually use some sort of a noise maker or composite the image but there are times that I still don't get exactly what I'm hoping for)?
Have you ever had a photoshoot were you didn't like any of the pictures?
Hey Fenna, first of I need to tell you how much you inspired me to start my own business in photographing babies & kids, so thank you! And here my questions:
Where do you get most of your props?
How big are your backdrops?
Hi Fenna! Just wanna ask where do you buy your backdrop, the measurement and what material?
Did you do your own kids newborn photos?
How did you find this passion for doing newborn photos?
Hello! Love love ur videos thanks for all ur energy and always full of kindness and good vibe. I'm been taking pictures for a while but can't seem to get sharp images my kids are 5, 3,2 they keep moving then they are out of focus. I do Ai servo now and spot focus. Is there any other settings u use for children? I'm mostly taking about out door pictures. Thanks!
