Hardest shoot to date…
Today I am posting my 1st attempt at newborn baby images. This is baby Eva and she was born in late April 2011. To date I have always been curious as to if I was up to the challenge of shooting such a tiny baby. At first you think what could be easier. The baby is barley mobile, sleeps most of the time, and just plain cute!
Surprise to me! To date this was my hardest shoot. Baby Eva was really cute, but to my surprise she was also very alert and awake. I really think she had a 6th senses that she was destined to be the “Next Top Baby Model”. She also decided to test her new form of baby expression: bodily functions. But with a little persistence, lots of warm milk, and some waiting Baby Eva, Mom, and I survived.
Tips for taking successful 10 day old images:
• Allow plenty time
• Try to schedule the shoot at baby’s nap time
• Keep the area you are shooting in warm
• Have plenty of blankets
• WET WIPES for accidents
• Keep the parents calm
• Shoot a ton of shots
I think I may want to try this type of shoot again!
Please enjoy the images and feel free to leave comments.
