Kiara.

This is Kiara Waldner with her mother Wanda.

She is barely a week old.

I thought i would do Wanda a good deed by offering to take some photos of Kiara.

So after a evening of waiting for a call that she is up, I dragged home all my gear.

I found out that taking [strobist style] photos of a baby is quite challenging. Because the light has to come from a very precise location, otherwise the face falls into darkness. And editing them is a challenge. There is a fine line in color and saturation for baby's skin. You cannot have it look transparent, pasty white or tanned.

 

And the most fun part, showing them to the mother and a few other people. I really love the expression people have, when the photos are good.
