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.

Best Trampoline for Kids and Baby

Image
Over the past few years we have tested over two dozen different trampolines. Some designed for toddlers ages 2-3 or so, and others designed for bigger kids aged 4-7 or so. There are also much larger ones for bigger kids aged 8+ and we include one of those in the list below, simply because we’ve had such great experiences with it. We focus primarily on toddler trampolines and “big kid” trampolines: The toddler trampolines usually are smaller, provide less of an elevated bounce, and have an attached handlebar with padding to ease kids into learning how to bounce on their own. These are very low to the ground (usually 4-6″), usually have a weight capacity under 80 pounds, and use either springs or bungee cords to hold the jumping surface onto the frame. Our boys have never fallen off one of these (knock on wood!), even in the beginning, and they are not the most coordinated boys in the world! But they have succeeded in bouncing the trampoline into oblivion and breaking t

Nikon Z 6

Image
Nikon is new to the full frame mirrorless category, and while the Nikon Z 6 may not be quite as refined as Sony’s third generation, the new camera still packs a powerful punch. The Z 6 uses a 24.5-megapixel full frame sensor that captures excellent images. DxOMark ranks it right below the Sony a7 III by a single point. The camera body also has stabilization built-in. This can help in those low light shots if the baby isn’t moving around. As part of Nikon’s new mirrorless series, the Z 6 has access to a lot of existing Nikon lenses using an adapter. This could be reason enough to choose the Z 6 for photographers that already own some Nikkor glass. Like most mirrorless cameras, there’s a silent electronic shutter for when being quiet matters. And the Z 6 is even faster than the a7 III with a 12 fps, though that’s in an extended mode with a few limitations. The Z 6 is lighter than Nikon’s DSLRs, though not by a lot if you use a heavier Z lens or once you add t
