Ava at 4 weeks

First try at baby shots. I am new at this so any advice would be welcomed. I found it rather difficult to pose her as she would always work herself back into the same position. I really wanted some crossed hands under the chin shots but nothing I tried would work.

These were taken with Canon Xti, 17-55 2.8 lens, and a 430ex flash bounced from ceiling. The background is white seamless and I also used a 600 watt reflector lamp on right side which the baby loved because of the heat. Left side I was in front of a picture window which did not offer much light as it was an overcast day.

Nice job. I really like number 3.

I think they're lovely, I'm sure the parents will be pleased, I would be if it were my little one.

Thank You.

Shame you weren't on the toe end of her in the first Chet? Then you would get her beautiful face.....lovely photos.

I know, I should of had her on a lazysusan, every time we would reposition her she would cry and would need to be held for a bit. I was also trying to keep her against the seamless, so before crop you see the wall on either side.

Next time I'll do better I hope...

Lol.I love the lazysusan idea! Better for babies than it is for canned goods

You know... that's not a bad idea
