11: What Does It Mean to Take "Authentic" Portraits?

What does it mean to create “authentic” photos as a newborn and family photographer? I can not tell you how many photography groups and forums I have been in where people have talked about authenticity, and specifically how the reason that they don’t work in a studio, or use artificial light is because they want to take “real” photos or authentic images. So, what does authenticity even mean?  And is it possible to get real, authentic photos as a studio photographer?
