I really love this session. You had so many differnet areas in their home to use as a backdrop. You really really did a great job! I'm sure Mia's mommy is thrilled.:D

Really like most of them a lot. Given I don't do baby pix, appropriately file these comments. The baby in the garbage can, 3rd shot, (or what looks like a nice garbage can) doesn't work for me -- uncomfortable metaphor. The little knit hats didn't work for me, but that may be dad talking, and mom might find those just wonderful.

The other ways you put the baby are great (he/she is a little lost in the wide shot on the shelves, but I get the idea; I like the closer in one better). The colors look great (the first one a bit yellow for my taste, but a sweet picture nonetheless), and you grabbed some nice expressions between the dozing.

Nice set.

Such a little cutie. All the shots are nice but I love 10 & 12 for the little smile with the eyes closed, tells me she's a very happy little girl. I also like #11 for the eyes looking around the room in amazement and wonder... I love how babies and little kids have that look when they're seeing something for the first time.

I like #4 best of all…

The yawn in #5 is just perfect. Great series - really unusual newborn shots, and I'm sure the parents are delighted!

#3-#4 are excellent shots.

Thank you so much for your comments so far. I'm glad to hear that many of you are enjoying the series!!

My goodness what a great series!!!! I think #4 and #6 are my favs......but seems like having all the ceiling space in the top of the frame is a waste.

Are these shot in natural light? I'd assume flashes would bother babies. Either way I love these!

I like the little knit hats. Must be the "mom" in me! Also, I didn't realize that was a trash can. I thought it was a cup at first and was really getting concerned about just how little that baby way.... Now, it makes more sense. My favs are 5, 7 and 12.

Nice series. I personally thought the "trash can" was some kind of pottery vase or something along those lines. I liked it. The ones on the shelf and in the drawers just did not win me over. The furniture piece is so large and overwhelming it takes away from the baby. Also with so much white in the picture there are lost of blown out areas in the pictures as well. One with the baby asleep on its arm/hand is precious but looks like the blood has been cut off to the hand based on how dark it is compared to the other skintones. One with the smile and yawn are favorites.

Being a Mom of 3 young ones, I love infant/children sessions! #8 is my favorite, reminds me of how my 2 older children sleep sometimes, although you may want to PP the purple tone out of the resting hand. Also like #4...the contrast between such a large piece of furniture and the smallness of the baby is wonderful. I do think I might crop the shot a little closer to avoid the negative space on top - maybe try taking it down to the top of the cupboard eliminating most or all of the ceiling.

Overall, great shots...Thanks again for sharing Mia Bella!

Great session!
What a diverse session! I love all of the different shots you got. The cupboard series is neat in that it is a furniture piece in the family's home and the child will always look to that piece of furniture with wonder----HOW DID I FIT IN THERE! I like it for historical value. I think you did a great job! I just took some shots of my baby sleeping today which I was planning on posting...It is SO much easier to work with them when they are asleep! I saw that she was awake a bit and I know that must have been a challenge. I loved it! Super work!

These are gorgeous! #7 is my personal favorite. She's such a happy little thing already.
