My Xmas Baby Shoot - 56k warning.

Working with babies is hard work. You only get a few moments to capture that perfect photo before it all goes bad.. Well This is a photo that I took of my new 8 week old daughter which was designed for the front cover of my Christmas Cards. No special lighting as you may tell but I'm still pretty happy with the results. The backdrop is home-made from some shiny curtain material. I think it contrasts well with the reds.

All comments/suggestions/o​pinions are appreciated.


Warming up for the shoot...

The first two are great ! I would have liked seeing all of the right hand on the 2nd image. The 3rd would have worked well if not for the bright box or tissue paper being distracting. The last is a good example showing that kids have about a 5 minute attention span. I guess the 5 minutes was up. *S*

Yeah I agree about the flash on the shiny paper and the tissue paper.. I guess I didn't see that when setting up the shot. Thanks for your comments anyhow. The first 2 were just spare of the moment shots before we put her in the box.. hehe.. Those pics are not cropped so what's missing is how the shot was taken unfortunately. It was more a matter of getting her to smile then taking the photo before the smile stopped (aka- photo 4)..
