Best setup for a baby shoot

[vonstarrphoto]

Hey guys I am new here. Just looking on some advice if you don't mind on how to set my lights and backdrop up for a baby shoot of a three month old. Have looked about a bit on google but can't quite work it out lol. I have two elinchrom lights with soft boxes on them and a background support system with a white paper roll. Someone said I should get a bean bag and put a nice throw over it or something, does this sound good or anyone have a better suggestion? Thanks f you have read this far!

Hi Jaxx,

Well I'm no baby photographer I'm affraid but the setup you have seen should work, just remember that babies skins are already very soft so big modifiers aren't needed as much.

But check out this thread, all of her lighting is done with natural light, but may give you some ideas on clothing, poses, etc.
