First is what I call your ‘go-to’ lens. This is the lens that you’ll be using a majority of the time for your newborn sessions. Now, this will be different for each of you, depending on a few factors – which I’ll talk about more in a minute. But for me, my go-to lens for newborns is the 50mm 1.2. I use my 50mm lens for standard portraits of baby alone, as well as for images of families together, and lifestyle images.
The next lens that is really essential for newborn photography is a macro lens. This is the lens that will allow you to capture all of those teeny tiny details that are so important in newborn photography. I love the 100mm 2.8 lens – it is a really wonderful lens. Now, if you don’t have a macro lens, you can try to get these types of details with another lens – but honestly it is just NOT the same. A macro lens will give you the sharpness and show details that you really can’t capture with other lenses.
