Who This Kit Is For 

At a Glance 

How the Kit Works 

1. Main Light – Godox DP400III-V Studio Flash 

The DP400III-V is a 400Ws mains-powered studio flash offering reliable output and smooth power adjustment. It includes an LED modelling lamp to help you preview light direction and shadow before shooting. 

Why it matters: 
Consistent flash power ensures clean, soft portraits without unexpected exposure changes — especially important when working efficiently with newborns. 

2. Light Modifier – 90cm Umbrella Softbox with Grid 

This large umbrella softbox spreads the light gently across the baby, producing soft transitions and low-contrast shadows. The included grid helps control spill and keeps the light directional when needed. 

Why it matters: 
Soft, controlled light is essential for newborn skin tones and minimising harsh shadows. 

3. Posing System – Beanbag & Butterfly Pillow 

The PIXAPRO newborn posing beanbag with frame provides a stable, supportive base for classic newborn poses. The butterfly pillow helps gently position the baby’s head and limbs while maintaining comfort and safety. 

Why it matters: 
Proper support improves both safety and pose consistency, helping you work calmly and confidently during sessions. 

4. Support & Control – Stand and Trigger 

The 240cm air-cushioned stand safely supports the flash and modifier, while the Godox XT16 wireless trigger allows you to adjust flash power from the camera position. 

Why it matters: 
Less movement around the baby means smoother sessions and fewer disturbances.

FAQs 

Is this kit suitable for complete beginners in newborn photography? 
Yes, but proper newborn safety training and safe posing practices are essential. The kit provides the tools, but safe handling and support techniques are always required. 

Can I add more lights later? 
Yes. The DP400III-V uses the Bowens S-mount and Godox 2.4GHz system, so you can expand with additional flashes or modifiers. 

Is the beanbag filling included? 
No. Filling is not included so photographers can choose their preferred material and firmness level.
