Save this post for your next maternity photo session! You’ll have so many maternity pose ideas for couples.
In general, there are 2 rules of thumb…you want their heads close together and their hands involved.

White balance is the color temperature of your photo. You can either shoot in auto white balance or adjust the kelvin setting.
HSL sliders in Lightroom allow you to change the Hue, Saturation, and Luminance of the photo.
The sliders are divided into each color group: red, orange, yellow, green, aqua, blue, purple, magenta. Each color then has a slider for hue, saturation and luminance (HSL).
If you haven’t already read my posts about aperture and ISO, head there first! After I set the aperture on my camera, then my ISO, the last thing I think about is my shutter speed.

You bought a fancy camera, now what?
What’s the number one thing you can do to take better photos?
LEARN TO SHOOT IN MANUAL MODE
Even if you’re not a professional photographer, you should be going through your iphone photos so you don’t end up being overwhelmed with so many similar photos. And no one wants unflattering photos or photos with your eyes closed!
After culling the photos and adjusting the color in Lightroom, I re-touch all my photos in Photoshop.
You would think newborns have perfect skin, but that’s only partially true! By the time I see a newborn (in the first 2 weeks of life) they could still have some bruising from birth. The newborn acne might have set in. They could also have scratches on their face from tiny newborn fingernails that haven’t been trimmed yet.

ALL SLOTS HAVE BEEN BOOKED
Photographing young siblings can be difficult. Especially when you have certain expectations in mind. My advice is to through your expectations out. Not to sound harsh, but sometimes the best photos are when you let go of the idea of everyone smiling perfectly at the camera. Photos that capture emotion are always best, so getting the siblings to interact is key.
Asking the older sibling to kiss the baby is a super easy way to get them to interact. Usually they are happy to do it and sometimes the great photo is the actual kiss and sometimes it’s the moment before or after.
And of course I always love to photograph the siblings alone. I think they know it’s their time in the spotlight and that’s when the huge smiles come out!
