This little man was all set up from the minute I entered the house. Mommy had given him a warm bath and fed him minutes before I arrived. We jacked up the temperature to about 80 and shot him on the kitchen table and chair using window light and some flash. After 3 newborns this weekend, I can honestly say that I feel totally comfortable to be able to get my 20 favourite shots. I really need to work on the posing on the hands shot....maybe next newborn!

how do you do those shots with the black background. I am going to do a shoot with my friends newborn and would love to learn how to do that. Awesome pics!

Just use a black fleece blanket over mom or dad as they are sitting. Sit the baby in their hands, position and shoot. Try natural light first with some added flash if needed. A little post process work in Aperture 3 and maybe some PS.

Have a look about 1/2 way down the page on this link for a before and after shot:https://photography-on-the.net …ead.php?t=68436​0&page=180

Those are really great shots! I see that Dad is a St. FX alumnus? My fav school! I would have preferred to see the dangling hand tucked under the chin, but sometimes the baby isn't settled enough to force that. They will love these, nice work.
