Suggestions for non-traditional newborn shots?

[Sara729]

hey guys, this is short notice, but I have a studio shoot for a newborn in 2 hours... I've worked in a portrait studio, so I've got the "pose the baby this way/that way/ use hands/photograph hands and feet, etc" basics down, and could give them quality photos no problem but I'd really love to do something a little more creative with these guys, maybe experiment a little.. obviously I know that they're limited in movement and I've got some ideas in mind, but would love to hear from other people on ideas, just to see how other people's creative minds work. :)


discuss!

I've been experimenting with a fisheye and lomo/cross-processing styles for newborns, in a storyboard style format. Work is still progressing.

woow...amazing sites, i just realized they are using natural lighting, is this because studio lighting can affect the baby?

I know this is too late, and you may not feel comfortable doing this, but........

My wife has the most beautiful picture of her breast feeding our baby. She has a white lace "Night Dress" on with, with Emma feeding in her arms. The picture is in B&W. Different I know.
