5 day old baby boy!

1.

beautiful photos. my wife is 1 month pregnant with our first...

not sure how I'll manage to get pictures that look even remotely like these

Nice composition on all of these!! Really like #6 except for the little dark area near his belly button.

Super cute shots! I was trying to pick a favorite but I like them all. Love your props too.
What is the hammock/scarf thing in #4 called? And do you have a link where it could be purchased?

Love them all! # 4 is my fave! Is that just a blanket?
I would hate for you to be taking pics of my kids because I would be broke buying them all!!!!! lol

Beautiful shots! I love #2 and #8. That little hat with ears is so adorable

really lovely work - I love newborn portraits!

Wow these are great, I just love the neutral tone you gave these. #2's, 4 and 8 are stunning.

very nice..
what is your lighting set up?

Beautiful work....great props, lighting and skin tones.

Thank you! I actually attempted getting rid of the belly button "stump" or at least most of it, and I was worried it was starting to look wrong. I could spend more time on it if that takes away from the photo. I didn't like it either.

Thank you so much My lighting was from a large picture window. I had to hang a white sheet over the window to avoid the harsh light that created criss-cross shadows onto my whole set up. I'm JUST now starting to figure out what skin tone I'm going for in PP. That has been difficult for me in the past. By trial and error have finally been able to get the look I want.

Yay! Thank you! About props...the hammock/scarf thing in #4 is actually just a blanket I found at TJMax Home Goods. Pretty much everything I have are just different blankets. The bear hat and the cocoon were from Etsy.com. Every time I have a new shoot I love to use a new prop. I try to keep things fresh and not looking exactly like the last shoot.
