What is the best lens for newborn photography?


Choosing the best lens for newborn photography can be difficult, as there isn’t one specific lens for everyone. In reality, you’re going to need a variety of different lenses—each for a different purpose—to capture the many styles and types of shots that are typical to newborn photography. Mainly, you’ll need a medium telephoto, a wide-angle, a macro, and a 50mm prime lens.

Since you’re photographing people in your maternity and newborn photo shoots, a portrait lens (typically a medium telephoto lens) is a must. And because you need to capture the tinier details such as the baby’s toes, fingers, or eyelashes, you’ll also need a good macro lens.

Now you can certainly stop there, but if you want to be prepared for other photography situations, you’ll also need an all-around 50mm prime lens for when you need a fast, lightweight lens that works well in low light and takes extremely sharp pictures.

In addition, you should have a wide-angle lens for family (parents and baby) photos or any newborn photo shoot session conducted indoors or in the studio (where you might have minimal space to work and can’t back up to include more in the shot) or outdoors (where you’ll need a wide-angle to include more of the picturesque backgrounds).

Whether you’re a Canon or a Nikon user, this article has you covered. Keep in mind, however, that all lenses mentioned in this article are most suitable for full-frame cameras.
