Photo Tips

Photographing a Baby in the Clouds

Me Ra Koh

Can I share a favorite baby photo that I recently shot?!!

The blue wall and white chair makes me feel like the baby is floating in the clouds.

Do you need fancy equipment, studio lighting, back drops, fancy houses or tons of experience to make this type of photo happen for yourself?  No way!  So excited to prove it to you too!

Tomorrow, we will demystify the photo together!  I’ll show you where I was, where the light source was and tell you what the Photo-Recipe is!  That way you can try this at home too!  I don’t mean to leave you in suspense at all.  I’m just so ready to spend the day with my beautiful kids and catch up on lots of hugs and giggles.

May your day be filled with pockets of peace that this little guy knows so well.

xoxo,

    Mera, this is PERFECT for what I experienced yesterday. I went into an unknown home to shoot a newborn to challenge myself. ( This was a teenager that just had a baby so I knew she would be glad for me to practice with her and her baby). Okay, let’s just say I was REALLY challenged. I found a good light source with large windows, but the weather changed so fast, and in the Northwest it can get dark so fast even during the day, and there were trees in the way of the light, and I was using a 50 mm so I could not get back far enough with out losing light. SO, what do you do? I felt like I got a few good shots for the mother and with the mother, but I felt a little defeated in myself. I didn’t feel like I got the magical shots. I think I will have them come to MY house next time where I know my windows and what time of day the light hits them. In my head, I keep hearing “Mera says, set yourself up for success”. I didn’t feel that way yesterday. So why could it have not been today when we had SUN, go figure. Any ideas to help would be greatly appreciated. THAT is a magical picture you took, so precious!
