Behind the Scenes of a Tiny Newborn & Baby Photography Studio in Roseburg, Oregon

It's February 2024, and it’s officially been 4 years since I moved into this little studio space. I thought I would share a few behind the scenes footage of where I create so many of the images that you see!

The studio in total is about 9.5' wide by 26.5' long. My photo setup is about 4'x8'. It's snug and the limited space can be challenging for me, but I'm so grateful for this safe space allowing me to photograph so many sweet moments, no matter the weather. If you’re a photographer wanting info on the items usedto create the above setup, here are some links for you.

Beanbag: by Shoot Baby and isn’t sold anymore, but you can find something similar on Amazon here. Grab the beanbag filler here.

Hack #2 (and not shown in this photo…)- Lulla-Vibe for newborn soothing: Shop here!
Hack #3- Baby shusher: Shop here!
White sheer curtains: Shop here! Get a bunch of them to help with diffusing strong light.

White diffusion panels behind the sheer curtains: Shop here & go for the largest size!

The front 1/3 serves as both the entrance, the natural light source, and the backdrop set up space. The middle 1/3 houses most the larger props and prop seating (doubling as the client seating area), and the back 1/3 is the rest of the prop and fabric storage, as well as an infant changing area. A bathroom is available in the hallway next to the studio.

A while back (like a year and a half ago), I’d shared a reel of the many images that this space had allowed me to create and preserve. I’ll share it again here, in case you’re curious. I should probably create an updated version. <3
