My first baby portrait session

So I took the plunge this weekend and did my first baby portrait session, not having any idea what I was getting into! :) I had taken photos of kids from ages 1 to 15 already, but photographing a 3 month old was something entirely new.

I loved it! Grady was extremely cooperative, and even decided to take a little nap after an hour and a half of taking pictures, eating, taking more pictures, eating, taking even more photos, and eating again!

Here are a couple of samples. For some reason, I think black and white looks extremely good in the case of babies.

    Wow! These are awesome... Love the color one's expression....

    The second and third one are a bit too flat/dark for my tastes. Try boosting contrast and brightening them a tad.

    Very nice set!

    #3 is my fav.
    Why is it that so many teeny tiny baby photos have the back of a parent's head in them. I've noticed that tendancy in the shots I've taken of my three grandchildren. I think it's pure laziness on the part of the photographer. Get the faces people! The back of Dad's head is a trite shot. 'Scuse me while I dismount my soapbox.

    Hmm ... perhaps the reason so many have the back of their parent's head is because many parents like those types of shots? mwink.gif

    Just a thought :D
