With at least one room change (L&D to Post-partem), emotional highs, general exhaustion, and interruptions every few hours or more, it's easy for things to get misplaced. Congrats and good luck, it's an amazing experience! Colleen

Jun 28, 2014 22:46 | #7 I say keep it simple and just bring your 5dIII and your 50L. You never know what could happen, my wife had to have an emergency C-section and it was kinda chaotic. You don't want to have a bunch of gear to lug around or worry about being secured. Plus I like the big aperture of the prime to make the creative juices flow

I would try to avoid using flash even if you bounce it because the baby's eye lids are very thin. My little one was just born on June 28th and all I took with me was my 30mm and it worked out just fine. Remember, you're a father first, then photographer :P My wife complained that I turned it into a photo-op rather than enjoying the moment. Canon 60D, Canon 10-22mm, Sigma 30mm 1.4, Tamron 17-50mm, YN-560 IV Flash (2)

Jul 12, 2014 23:23 | #13 ![]() Thank you all! I didn't have the 85 at that point, all I took with me was the 5D and 50L, experience was nerve wracking, but we got a perfect little girl out of it!
