very cute...id like to have seen the 1st one on the towels without the fur at the sides though...i think it distracts a little.

I like them a lot! The last one I like because of the baby's expression, it's very cute. The 2nd is great because you can see the color of his eyes, they're beautiful.

I love it! My sister is getting a baby in a few months, I can't wait to portray that little creature!

#1 is a cute shot, would be better without the fur in the BG and I think you should straighten it so the stack of towels is level. Next time, try and get the baby's hand to relax up near his face if you can, and try to uncurl the toes so the feet are lying face up to the ceiling (not always possible to get them to stay this way, but it sure looks cute, if you have success) ... if that makes any sense... Also, I'd shoot it a little wider to illustrate how tiny the baby is in comparison to the towels... see this example if you want to see an example.... http://ksnyderphoto.smugmug.com/gall...287_SPT9K-A-LB

#2 IS the best of the bunch IMO... I would try to neutralize the color though because it has a strong yellow cast.... Are you using hot lights?

#3 I like the blanket. I think I have the same one. You have excellent focus and a nice alert baby with a relaxed look about him/her. I'm not crazy about the angle though and it looks like baby is getting swallowed up by the blanket. Try propping some extra blankets under baby's head to bring into a slightly upright position and shoot it from there... I love the sharpness of the peely skin, which is so indicative of a brand new baby.

I'm sure the parents are going to be thrilled with what you have to show them.

Thank you all so much for your comments! I love getting advice. The parents were very happy with them.
