My first Baby Shoots

Hello,
this week I had the chance to do some baby photography - my first one! It was real fun and some photos came really good but some less so - babies are so fast and unpredictable. Here are some shots from that session.

The baby name is Zayd -










Comments are very welcome. If you want to see the photos bigger - just click on one of them, that will open the photo on my smugmug portfolio.

I really like #4. The first one could probably have done with more room on the left and less on the right so the baby wasn't so centred. Always good to have more 'empty' space in the direction they're facing. The last one - a shame the father's head was chopped off on the right. A bit more space to the left and right might have been better. But for your first, I think you've done quite well and ultimately it's what the parents think that's important.

I think you right. But their are so fast. With aperture f1.2 is really hard to get a great shot - the kiddo was like mad heheh. But as I said before - it was really good fun.

Thanks for the comment.

Yes, they are fast once they start moving. I did my first shoot a month ago. It was of twin baby boys. They were 4 weeks old. I would have loved to do the 'newborn' type shots but they'd already grown too much for that and wouldn't stay asleep for us to pose them. All the same, the parents were happy with the shots and I learnt through the process that it's nowhere as easy to do as I'd been reading about.
