My son's first Christmas

Took this today with my 1Dx and 24-70mm ii. Really new to people photography so I am really happy how it turned out. Going to use it for our Christmas card. My son's name is Owen and he will be 4 months old tomorrow.

Got to photoshop out the string on the hat and the little scratch on his face.

That is a really wonderful photograph, especially for someone who is new to it this type. Great job. Keep it up and I can tell that people will love getting this from you, he's adorable.

Thanks so much! I was nervous that it wouldn't turn out but I did a lot of reading up and practiced on a stuffed animal before I sat him down there and it helped a lot.

Great job, one super job for first attempt. Glad to find someone else using the ol stuffed animal standin technique. lol

Very nice. Great first attempt! Agree about the thread and scratch, literally a ten second fix in PS or even LR.

The bonus of a shot like this is the bribe money when he starts bringing girls home.

Owen is a natural. Very nice.

Looks great to me.

Congratulations on your son's first Christmas and great job on the photo. I love it.

What a cutie! Great first shot. For me, and this may be just personal opinion, I would want a little more light on his face.

He is too much adorable. Its completely a treat to see his picture in this Christmas season.

Very cute

Thanks everybody! Appreciate the feedback so much.

I agree about the light on his face...I think if I moved my light back some it would get his face better next time...I have an Alien Bees B800 I am trying to learn how to use. I only had it on as filler light.
