Newborn photography is a beautiful way to capture precious early moments, but many parents wonder if studio flash lighting is safe for their little one. The good news is that professional studio flashes are generally safe for newborns when used correctly.
Why Flash Photography is Safe for Newborns
Momentary Light Exposure – Studio flashes emit light in very short bursts, meaning they don’t expose the baby’s eyes to continuous brightness.
Softened Light – Most professional setups use diffusers, softboxes, or bounce techniques to create a gentle, natural-looking light.
No Proven Harm – Research shows that standard photography flashes do not harm newborn eyesight or development.
Best Practices for Newborn Photography
Use Soft, Indirect Light – Bouncing flash off walls or using a softbox minimizes any harsh impact.
Avoid Direct Flashes at Close Range – Keeping the light source at a reasonable distance prevents discomfort.
Consider Natural Light – If parents prefer, sessions can also be done using natural window light for a soft, warm effect.
