Love the B&W, Makes me think back to when my son was that age.... 23 years ago. Great shots your friend has something to treasure after his son is older.

Thanks, otlip! (she is a girl, though ;))

I like #3 and #4 but maybe crop off the shoulder part of the dad's arm.

I like the b&w....especially 3 & 7.

Is that background edited? or is that in a studio? The one with the hands holding the baby

[TheHoff]

Hi Mabry,

It is in my living room (which is small) -- the background is a $10 black sheet from Ikea. It does require a bit of masking to get it to black in the final, but I'd assume that is normal unless you have a lot of room to really get the lighting separated from the background.

Adorable. Love them all. Great Job!
