tips:1. At 10am in the morning light, overcast, often can provide a very soft light for portraits.
2. Find a closed area, such as a room, and open windows to provide light in to get a very soft light. Placing the subject in a closed area gives you the opportunity to play with shadow and highlight.
3. Use a fast lens like the 50mm f1.8 to obtain optimal contrast and color.
4. Use the f2.8 aperture - F4 as you may lack the power of light. You may need to use ISO400.
5. A high ISO like 1600 will cause the noise that does not attract the baby's skin. You should avoid this noise because it will not look natural on a baby's skin is often soft and smooth.
6. Place the baby face encounter with the source of light to get a good light luminance on the face, bright and attractive.
7. Place the baby's face against the source of light to get rim-light.
*No strobe light is needed
