The biggest worry is mixed lighting and setting a custom white balance.... Anyone have any tips that could be helpful for shooting indoors? Settings for my camera, angles and poses close to a window maybe, what time of day to shoot so I'm getting the light I need coming through the window, anything that could aid in getting some good indoor photos for my friend of her new baby? Anything would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
Do you routinely make photos as RAW data files, or as JPEGs?
What direction the window faces and how big it is are considerations for what time of day to shoot. North facing windows offer the most latitude as the light is more constant throughout the day.
In effect, the window light becomes your main light and your reflector becomes your source for fill or secondary lighting.
Newborns spend most of their time sleeping and are very maleable (poseable) when they are asleep. As mentioned the newborn will be quite still when asleep and longer exposures can be used.
