First "real" baby shoot

VayCayMom

I snapped a few of my grandson when he was born but this was in my studio. I did it for free for a client of mine so I could get some practice and have something for my portfolio.This baby was 2 weeks old and she even SLEPT so I had a little time to pose her!! She was GREAT!!!!
In the future when I have some funds I want to get a stash of props. In this series the ivory blanket is mine, and the little bed, and the knit hat. I asked mom to bring something pretty to cover the diaper, um that will be the first thing I buy! I feel it almost ruined some of the images, but the mom won't even notice.


1. I love the texture I added.


2.OK I am very proud of this one



3 eh, the pp is not so hot but mom will love it


4.pretty in pink, she even slept through some wardrobe changes.


5. her tongue looks like a little popsicle!!


6. happy momma

#5 is priceless!

I think #4 is the best one! Something about # 3 is bothering me but I am not quite sure what it is. Maybe the bed seems to be floating. Nice work.

I love #2 and #4. The baby reminds me of my daughter at that age. Nice work.

at first I was gonna say WOW!!
But then I saw who the OP is, so I am not surprised at the quality of the images :P they are still pretty, though.

#3 is very unusual for you, VayCay..

While I like them all, # 2 is my favorite. Number three needs some more masking work, skin tones look off, and I would crop the bottom space off.

Yes it bugs me too, I think it is the legs looking uneven, the PP was not perfect, but the mom loved it.

Well thank you! 3 was a first time experiment, not a total success, but the mom loved it. It was one of her selections.

Thanks everyone for the c&c, hehe I should have known you would call me out on number 3. This mom works with my daughter and she booked a session last year with her 3 sisters. I offered this as a freebie so I could get some practice with a newborn. I think that is why mentally I felt 3 was good enough to show her. It was the first time I used that bed too, so I wanted to show off my prop. Well I did use it once for a tiny puppy, but that is not the same.

Sam I agree with the cropping.And the PP is sloppy.Skintone looks ok to me on my monitor.

Bsimon, can you tell her tongue looks like it has 2 colors?Thanks for commenting.Mom picked that one too.

OWS4428 Thank you for taking the time to comment.I also love 2 and 1, 1 would be so much better without that awful bottom she put over the diaper. Live and learn, this was for practice. I did learn a few things.
