We are excited! Ok, I know the skin tones need work (doing that now). I'll be taking some better shots at Christmas as he will be just a bit bigger and maybe more awake than asleep :wink

His name is Magnus Cash Smith
born Monday, November 13th 2:26 PM
6lbs, 14oz. 20" long.

    Congratulations Dave! He's a real cutie and I'm sure we'll see a lot more of him. I really like that first shot and think your skin tones look fine as is.

    Congratulations Gramps, I love that bewildered look newborns have, he'd better get used to you and your camera.

    Thanks Gang
    Heh, Yep, he'll be the most photographed child in history. I used a grey card for these shots. Finding the right skin tone balance is always tricky, especially for newborns, at least for me anyway. Thanks for stopping by and seeing our new addition to the family. Oh, did I mention he'll be spoiled? :ivar. Grandpa sees alot of camera gear in his future.

    What a cutie!
    My gosh those pictures bring me back almost 6 years when my grandson was born. I hope he lives close by so you can document his first year, they change so quickly. Congratulations to all.

    Love all of the photos. What treasures for you and your family. Your grandson is a real cutie and very photogenic!! Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you that you are going to have loads of fun (and frustration) capturing his development with your camera. I hope you have loads of disk space.

    Blessings on you all.

    Congratulations on the new addition to the Swartzy family.clap.gifclap I also wish you and your family the best of health.

    Hmmm. I wonder. Are you sure it's in your grandson's future you see all the new camera gear? Or are you going go with, "But, dear, I need this xxxx to take this new kind of shot of little Johnny!":D
