Baby Home Studio Setup

First things first. I’m no newborn photography expert. Not even close. In fact, before Jace, I had never done any sort of baby photos. About a month before Jace was born, I decided I definitely wanted to try to do some baby photography. I had heard the best time is between four and fourteen days…
