    this is adorable. I have only done one newborn session, and the bub kept toileting over her father, and blankets etc. How do you manage to get the cute naked sleeping baby photos without multiple accidents. One other question - what did you use as your back drop?

  24. lindeymagee (70 months ago | reply)

    ava...thanks for all your sweet comments & faves!
    kristen, holly, d, chera...thanks so, so much :o)

    hey robyn- first, thanks :o) i've only shot 4 newborns...one of them in 2 sessions (at 5 days & again at 9, i think...so the daddy could be included)- so just 5 sessions 14 days & under.

    let me just say, this sweet little girly is the only one who didn't dirty up my fabrics or me or her mommy or daddy. i can promise you it's the exception to leave in the same clothes you came it ;o)

    i use assorted blankets & a big sheet of black velvet fabric with babies. here, though...she was laying on a green futon & her mom was holding a brown blanket behind her. i just cropped it like this for a different look & converted to bnw & then burned the blanket & extended the crop vertically abover the baby.

    i communicate to the mom, prior to the session, that accidents are going to happen & that i'm prepaired for them ;o) ...still, it's the mom that freaks out...new moms entertain me while i'm shooting :o)

    good luck with your next newbie...they are surely hard work, but my absolute favorite subject to shoot :o)

    I love the neg space. and the crop is simply brilliant.

    Love your crop and composition here.

  28. Robyn Geering Photography (70 months ago | reply)

    you make it sound so simple. Grat idea. I particularly like the idea of black velvet cause it would absorb the light, rather than reflect light (light the piece of black material I have).

    The babies mother must be thrilled with these images. Well done
