beautiful newborn


The day finally came when I got to photograph the little almost 2-week old baby I'd been looking forward to shooting all week. I went a little long (3 hours) but it was so worth the wait. At first the baby did great, so I immediately put him on my wooden antique bowl thing (I don't think it's really a bowl, but I can't remember what it is, exactly). This only lasted for the first little while, though. It took me a while to set up, so by the time I was ready, the wee babe had only one thing on it's mind-milk! So the rest of the time was spent camping out, waiting for the baby to eat and fall asleep. But when he finally did go to sleep, I got some great shots. I was really excited to edit these pictures, so I did them all today when my little ones went to sleep. I'll post some of my favs.

Seriously, girlfriend... those shots rock!!! I've been wanting to do a newborn session and capture them in the same style and tone you have, but to no avail! (sigh)
I love, love, love these!

PS I couldn't get the noise reducer to work.

Thanks Cristina. These are the first newborn pictures that I'm completely happy with. It really did take me many newborn photo shoots to finally get what I wanted. I totally agree with your newborn post-newborns are really hard to photograph. But they are sooo stinkin' cute!
