In this video I’m sharing how I started my photography business and how I became a Newborn and Baby photographer. I will also show videos and pictures of my old ( living room ) photo studios!
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? Are you looking for a free-online Photography course? Do you want to see the inside of a Photo Studio? Then please, watch my videos and subscribe to my channel!
I’m planning on sharing videos in which I show you my typical work-week as a photographer. I will give you tips & tricks concerning photography, photo shoots, backdrops, studio props, camera settings (iso, aperture, shutter speed, white balance), photoshoot outfits, photoshoot make-up etc.
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.

“Don’t start with newborns” 😂😂😂
Hello Fenna, you are such a joy to watch! One question for you, how long was the amount of time from when you started charging for your time as a new photographer to when you quit your job and went full time with photography? You are such an inspiration, I watch your channel all the time and want to thank you for all of your help 🙂
I live in canada and i have a hard time pricing myself. I m dping family photography now. I want to appeal to not just the "richer" clientèle. I wamt to appeal to the single mom who works 2 jobs and wants family pictures. I wamt for everyone to be welcome. I wamt to be afordable. What would you recommend for me to do?. What formula do you use to price what you do?
How do the parents pick out their color selections? Are you showing them samples?

Photography is my greatest passion. I am a mom of two little girls, and have lost my corporate job while on maternity leave with my 2nd baby. You are my complete inspiration, helping me find the courage within myself to follow my passion as a career. Thank you for your videos!!!
I watch all your videos. Love them. Was wondering what you used to learn to edit? Like was it books or youtube or did you take a class?
hey fenna loved your all videos ♥️ but mine question is from where can i buy backdrops and flooring??
Did you take out any loans?
Do you find its worthwhile financially.? Also are you Dutch? if so how come you got such an American Accent.?

Hi from Australia – I love your studio space and can see that growth happens over time and to be patient 🙂
Thank you for sharing!! I’m just starting out and it’s so nice to hear what you started with. I have basically the same equipment just the canon versions and have really been questioning if I can actually do this with what I have. My plan was to upgrade as I earn but have been so unsure of myself so it’s really nice to see where you are now compared to where you started. Love your videos and your pictures!
Where did you buy the leaves that you showed in the beginning of the video?? Love those!!!
You are amazing and born to do this! You're my Guru lol. You and your family are beautiful. Much love from the US
Working hard brings wonderful rewards this is why you are who you are today and where you are today…:)
Hey I’m new here love your channel have you ever done a studio tour if not I would love to see one thanks
Hi Fenna. I started watching your videos about a month ago and it really has inspired me to want try cake smash. I guess you could say I'm just starting out to really want to become a photographer. I take A lot of maternity pictures, save the date pictures for weddings, Proms and even sweet 16s. I've even done portraits and a lot of children family photos. Though I never took a class or went to school for it. I'm wondering if you started that way. But anyway, My sons first birthday is in October very close to Halloween. I would like to try my first cake smash with him. I wondered if you ever done a Halloween cake smash..Really I'm looking for any tips or pointers I could use. I have so many ideas but still trying to learn how to use all of my Equipment. I literally just started investing in myself so if you have any tips or lighting or anything really I would greatly appreciate them.
Love this Fenna! So nice to see how you started and progressed on your journey. You are my inspiration as I’m a fledgling photographer 😊 I adore your clean fresh uncluttered style ……and you also keep my Ali express addiction well fed 😂 Keep up the good work and a big thank you from Scotland 🏴❤️
What is your intake on digital backgrounds?? Seems like it would take the fun out of photography a little.
awesome and thank God i found your channel..I am actually learning from your videos! I am a start up photographer here in the Philippines, I would love to become a newborn photographer too but just like what you've said I need to practice more and I think I should start with photographing shoes as well. 😀
thank you so much for your videos they are so helpful! i would love to know how you started marketing yourself, the website hoster you use, how do you deliver your photos to clients and also what workshops do you recommend…i thought the video of 8 pictures as a teaser is a brilliant idea. your pictures are beautiful, keep it up :))
So happy I found your videos and work Fenna. You are amazing! You give me so much inspiration and help! Thanks so much for all the information.
As a male, do you think I have a chance in opening a studio for new born sessions and pregnancy. Thanks
You are inspiring to become photographer 😍
How did you learn to shoot with the soft box?
Hi Fenna, great video thank you!
In your opinion the studio with the shop window like yours gives more visibility compared with a studio without?
That was so helpful and very interesting thank u so much for sharing!
What did you start off charging?
What workshops are you attending or would recommend? Im doing the milkyway newborn maternity workshop n would love to do more
Love how you start your own studio.. planning to have mine soon too as well..😊
How long did it take you to go from your garage phase to your studio phase? And do you have any marketing techniques that you recommend for newer photographers? LOVE your videos, thanks for the help♥️
Thank you for sharing your story. I enjoy watching your videos. I am wondering if you would be willing to do a video about your marketing and what products you sell. I think that would be very helpful information.
Thank you for sharing your journey!
First time watcher. I subscribed too. Interesting progression which you made. First time I've noticed a heater setup for newborn photography, most likely a good investment.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work. May God bless you and yours.
