I'm so amazed by these children, so nice and calm.. I always have children running everywhere (even if they're just 1!!!) and crying for no reason

I love the way the wee girl poses for the photos. She was like a professional. I do like your hair up!!! you look very pretty. I really enjoyed the editing of this video, the clips and transitions were pretty smooth. It gives me the sensation that you love what you do. Very inspiring to see how you work. I would love to see more in deep about lightspeed. Thanks, Girl! 😘Bx

Hey Fenna, Omg, I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU, for all the content you share with us. I was looking for a professional photographer who keep me inspirited on my photography career, which I started no long time ago. I love your behind the scene videos. I am so glad I found you! You are amazing, just as all of your work! XXX

Hi Fenna! Love and enjoy your videos. Greeting from Honduras!

Hello greetings from Chicago🤗 where are your backdrops from ?

Chiara Gerevasi I’ve been using Godox for a while now, both speedlights and strobes and I’m quite happy, Godox products are super solid (no worries, your speedlight won’t come off the camera) I love the consistency of the light and the strobes are cordless too (same rechargeable battery system) awesome not having cables around! You did a great choice! But....a big BUT....strobes are quite heavy if you need to move around. I use a Godox AD600Pro, it’s awesome, but it does make me sweat big deal when I need to move it to another background. You’ll need a few muscles 😅 but other than that, they’re awesome. Great video, thank you Fenna.

Great to hear you like your Godox gear. I might test their strobe in the future. Might have to work-out in the gym a bit more, haha. Will work great together with the Sigma Art lens as a work-out. I might have very muscular arms this time next year :)

Hi ^^ as always thanks for showing us all that i always find many things to learn ^^ .. thanks again :3

I enjoyed your video, the little girl looked like she was enjoying her session. I just ordered a Yongnuo speedlite and wireless transmitter. I’m just an amateur and new at flash photography, I agree, the Goddox looks very much like the Yongnuo.

i use godox AD600 + AD200 on 2 softbox for most of my baby & children photo session. works perfectly fine. one charge of battery is good enough for like 2 days working.

I'm also curious about this

Hi Fenna. 😀 I use Godox video/modeling lights, and find the battery indicators to be inaccurate, so be aware of that until you get to know them. Overall I find Godox to be good value, but prone to critical failure. Because of this I've never thought of getting the speed lights, but I might have to now! 🥰

@FennaPhotography

5 жыл бұрын

Good to know! Up till now the speed light battery indicator seems quite reliable and I've used them during about 9 sessions before the battery started showing 2/3 full instead of 3/3 full. Great battery life to start with!

Why was the exact set up you chose for lighting?

Can you tell me what light stand you use that allows you to use your soft box very low for newborn shoots as well as high enough for a model session? I purchased a shorter stand but it is not big enough to hold the soft box without tipping over. Thanks!

@FennaPhotography

5 жыл бұрын

It's actually a 'no name' brand, since I can't find a label anywhere. I think it came with a cheap strobe kit I got 5 years ago from Falcon Eyes. The stand is not extremely low, but the softbox centers into the hotshoe adapter and just falls quite low (if that kinda makes sense...)

Finna, another awesome video!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Hi Fenna , Good to see different light set ups ! I use Alien Bees , and also use a Wescott 52 inch soft box like yours. I tried continuous lighting , but found it too harsh . I love my lights and the soft wrap around light from my big soft box !

I loved it. Thanks.

Great video as always. I use Godox sk300 strobes which I am happy with. Fenna I would like to know if you use the VR or non VR version of the 24-70mm? 🙂

Hi Fenna,, I am new on your channel. I am learning and just following your guidance. I did 2 sessions this week. In both sessions as soon the cake touches the baby's skin they start crying. Can you suggest me how to handle that situation? They don't like how the cake feels to their skin. I will really appreciate your answer.

hello, nice video, i like to know what material is the backdrops that you use.

Hi Fenna! What are those hanging props on your backdrop and where can I purchase them?

Love the editing in these types of vids. I'm guessing your wonderful husband did the filming? I love getting to watch you work and interact with the kids/babies. Really enjoyed this vid, as i do with all of yours. Thanks for sharing your set up and your life with us. Merry Christmas!

Where did you get the bathtub?

It was a good session on cake smash, thankyou. Can you please tell me what kind of BG you used, I mean material, etc..

I love your videos 👏🏻👏🏻 I wondering what size is the softbox?

@fenna&photography which background is this! Just beautiful and flawless

Hi, I use the same speedlite and a huge parabolic umbrella but the result is not like yours. I put a reflector on the other side but it’s a small one. Is that the reason ? I wanted to fill some shadows but it didn’t.

Hello, what were the settings on your flashes and what were your camera settings for those photos? They look great

Are you using TTL? What power setting on the speedlite? I use Godox strobes and the battery life and recycling is a lot better than with speedlites.

Love your videos! They have helped me so much. I was wondering what lens you use? I purchased the canon 35mm 1.4 to play around in the studio with children and I can’t say that I’m that impressed.

Hi Fenna, nice video Won't your backdrop get messy with the cake...is it reusable or onetime use

Ik heb ze ook en tevens de 600b lampen, echt een aanrader, snel, flexibel en vind ik, makkelijker dan de speedlite

Hi Fenna, what is the size on your background?

Whar focal mode do you use? Wide? Zone? Flexible spot?

😁hi, like always great video 📷

Thank you Fenna 😉

Are still thinking of trying godox strobes?

Do you supply the outfit during the cake smashing part? Or just for the photographs before?

@FennaPhotography

5 жыл бұрын

Normally the parents bring the outfits or they can use one from the studio during the first part of the session. With the cake it's their own outfit. I find that the sizes differ quite a lot around the first birthday and some of my outfits won't survive being washed everyday :)

What type of backdrop is that?

what was ur sittings of the camera please

I love your intro. I'd love know how you get the shots and what you used. Who was the camera man/woman? Did you use a mirrorless camera with in-camera stabilization?

I guess my Question is why you would use a mounted flash to slave the main when you have that awesome Godox remote so that you could control both flashes separate and adjust setting on the fly and used one flash off camera to bounce off ceiling and the other in your soft box or just the one softbox flash?

Thanks for that beautiful video, I really need to know how to work with the light temperature, I usually use the gray card but I feel that I need something else for the light temperature ?

@jamespearsonhughes163

Are you adjusting white balance in post? If you shoot raw, you don't need to worry about getting the temperature right in camera. In Lightroom, if you select all your photos from a shoot and then open the develop module (and make sure "Sync" is toggled on in the bottom right), you can use the eye dropped to adjust the white balance for all your photos at once - especially easy if you have a shot of the grey card at the beginning.

Never been this early for a video!

Hi Fenna! :) Thank you so much, these videos are great! How long did it take you to collect everything you have? You have so much!! woooow! :) Xxx

Do you offer a client closet for babies? If so, how do you clean after a cake smash?

You will need to buy godox x1t trigger for nikon, so you can easily to change power the godox flash without touching the speedlite Btw, the godox v8 model battery is reliable,, my friend can shoot 3 wedding with just one single charge hehe,,

Atelier 19 Fotografia Nikon D800 and Nikon SB 900 ... I did change the settings in the custom settings > bracket/flash > commander mode > built-in flash I change the mode to -- then put my speedlight in .. but when I use the flash that’s on top of the camera it still “brightens” the subject .. I’ve taken the speedlight flash to another room just to see if the cameras flash will brighten the subject and it does ... so if I wanna photograph a baby I’m gonna be pretty close to it .. and the cameras flash is gonna blow it out ... Idk if this makes sense or not

Maria I I think it’s like that because it also hapens to me, that’s why i use a trigger in the câmera and a flash with bilt in receiver. If you don’t want to spend money on a new flash you have to buy a trigger and a receiver for you flash. If you have another flash (sb700, 800, 900, 910), you can use it as comander and turn the head away of your subject.
