I swear, I don't get newborns, like hardly EVER! And it's a bummer, because I really do love them. I always feel a fresh wave of respect for those who specialize in newborn photography after doing one of these sessions...everything is so much harder than it looks. Getting baby to sleep, posing, the little details...fingers, toes, blankets, coping with feeding breaks, pee & poo (haha)...the MASSIVE amount of junk you have to haul around (and I don't even do baskets and boxes and buckets much). I was exhausted after this FIVE hour session. I just wanted to get some up for CC...lots more to go through. I'm in no way a newborn rock star...I struggle with posing, and backdrops, but I hope these look ok. I'd love to be awesome at this someday.

Remember this gorgeous mama?

A before & after of #3...I seriously struggled with my wrinkled blankets WAY more than her skin. She had beautiful skin!

Totally awesome! Can i have all the pictures, your camera, and eyes??? Hahah

I love the style and the sharpness. However, I could see some of the blurriness on #2 a lot. Other than that, you are genius! you nailed it!

Did you hold the baby and position the baby by yourself? I am so scared of babies...they are so soft.
I am new to this and had a shoot on Saturday and failed terribly! What type of lighting did you use? Where did you sit, eye level to the child? Totally amazing!
