Just beautiful! Can you tell us how you got him to lay so perfectly?
Posted 14 months ago. ( permalink )

shutterblog says:

He was content as long as he was being held. Him being so tiny (just over 6 lbs.) and daddy's hands being so big didn't hurt either. All of the shots I got of him by himself were literally in the last 30 minutes of the session when we finally got him out for good. But even then, mom had to lie over the basket he was in and "fake-hold" him until he finally gave up and quit fighting it. But he's so beautiful awake, it doesn't hardly matter in the end. :-)

Ha ha - this is you "making due"?! Well, I just love everything about it, but those lips make my heart melt.
Posted 14 months ago. ( permalink )

shutterblog says:

LOL -- well, yeah kinda. The mom had a wishlist a mile long of poses with the baby curled up on his belly, fast asleep -- especially wanted one of him with angel wings. Well he would only calm down when held. Refused to sleep on his tummy. And his eyes popped wide-awake any time he wasn't being held no matter how full and knocked out she'd get him. So I just started shooting with him wide-awake. :-)

We got some of him asleep at the very end but he wouldn't stand for the wings. I love how they leave the womb with their own opinions on things and let you know how it will really be right from the start! They're the star of the show and they know it.

Gorgeous!

I looked at your EXIF, may I ask why you chose the 2.8 instead of a wider aperture? To get more DOF?
Posted 14 months ago. ( permalink )

I probably shoot about 85% or more at 2.8 -- I just like it. :-)

This is a fantastic photo, and what a gorgeous baby! I wonder how you get such tiny babies not to be scared of the lighting equipment? Do you use a flash?
Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )

shutterblog says:

I do use a speedlight, but I also have hot light studio lighting. I do my best to get them very happy and snuggly (and well-fed) before I start shooting. Thank you!
Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )

OlgaVD says:

Haha, he's already trying to pose! Look at the little foot sticking out, and the expression of concentration on his tiny face!
