Thank you all for your comments. For lighting I used just natural light and added my 580EXII, this was done while he was lying on floor on a pillow and I was getting some window light from right side of him. I bounced my 580EX flash on ETTL mode with gary fong diffuser attached. He is my friend's newborn boy. I'm trying to learn how to shoot pictures for newborn and my friend volunteered with condition of free pictures (so it is like win-win situation) .
This was shot with my 60D + Sigma 30mm F1.4, F2.2, ISO 200, 1/100 sec.
here are couple more when this guy was 3 weeks old. In terms of props all we used is a fleece throw and a pillow
