Mom and Newborn

[ohtography]

Had a session today and i am tired but i just want to share these pics. This is my close to success posing the newborn in this position. I tried this pose before with other mom but was not working. The previous mom was having a first child, so she was kinda scare to lift the baby up high to her face. This mom has more confident coz this is her second child. However, I am happy with the pose. But Color or B&W? Any thoughts or CC?
Thanks.

Beautiful pose, and subjects. I really like this. For me the colour version is the winner, it just seems warmer and the mother's eyes shine out more. Nice job.

I love it. :) I'm usually a sucker for the BW but I love the color version here.

This is awesome!!! Myself, I prefer the B&W. If this were outside or a different background, Id go color. As always, personal preference. :D

Thx guys for the thoughts!

This is very beautiful, I really love it. Both versions look fantastic but I prefer the color version. There's just something about the pretty color of their skin that draws me to this one.

I prefer the color (tho both are really nice!) I'm a sucker for eye's so I always tend to go for color images..... that being said I think the only thing that could make this image even better is if babies little hand was placed on mama's arm other then that perfection! this should become one of the mom's favorite images....

A unique scene and an unique moment.

Blondine: you got me on this! The first thought I see this pic on my monitor, I said this is beautiful. Then my eyes glazed to the baby arm and I said Dang! I wish I could have seen that in the actual shot. Lesson learned!
@ At everyone: thank you for the comments. I am choosing the color. But will print both versions to keep in my folder.

Fabulous pose! I agree about the baby's hand, too, but still this is fab!

This is a very beautiful shot! The pose is great! Mom has a wonderful expression, and the baby looks so peaceful. I prefer the color version because it's much softer looking. I think the b&w could also work really well with some tweaks here and there.

For me it is almost a tie, with the color one by a "nose".... my two cents..
