How I Shoot Indoors vs. Outdoors: My Exact Camera Setup

Brooke Jefferson - Oklahoma Family Photographer, Photography Business Coach Episode 382

Ever wonder what camera settings professional photographers actually use? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my exact camera settings for outdoor, indoor, and studio photography sessions. 

I break down the technical details in a way that's easy to understand, whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your approach. I'm sharing hard-won wisdom from years of trial and error, in-person workshops, and mentorship—including why shooting underexposed might transform your editing workflow and why your shutter speed could be the culprit behind blurry family photos.

In this episode, I'm covering:


  • My go-to ISO, aperture, and shutter speed settings for sunset family sessions
  • How I adjust my settings for in-home sessions vs. studio work
  • Why I shoot in Kelvin mode instead of auto white balance
  • The truth about f-stop myths (hint: it's not about how many heads are in the frame!)
  • When to upgrade from a crop sensor to full frame—and when to stick with what you have
