So I had my first newborn session yesterday (individual photos will be posted later), and I made up this collage that I will print and frame as a Christmas present for the parents and the grandparents (they were my first wedding clients, so I always give them a little extra from their sessions). I'm not sure about the lower right image, but other than that I'm quite happy with it!

It's very cute - the only thing I would change, is maybe put less feet pictures, and replace them with more face or body pictures.
I'm sure they will love it either way though :)

Not that it really matters :P but 30D with 17-55 and a 430EX being bounced all over the place. Settings were (on M): ISO 400, 1/60, f2.8 and the flash at 1/32.

I like it! How did you make the collage? Do you have a template in PS or something?

I set up some guides and then made a layer that I put the photos under. I might post the template here sometime in the future, but for now I have to go to work.

Nice...its nicely done.
I agree about the lower right image, it seems a bit out of place with it being zoomed out whereas the others are more close ups. Maybe "zoom in" a bit more on it and have less of a body picture or pick another full length one and stick in the middle instead and keep close ups around the edges. I agree with Jeni on the feets, replace a few with ears, hands, belly buttons etc too.
Otherwise I love the collage and the color (sepia) chosen. Refreshing not to see just B&W (which is what I usually do myself).
