newborn photos

[davidandagnes]

Here are a few pics I took with a one week old baby - there was poo and pee everywhere, but it was so much fun. I'd love to hear your feedback, especially about lighting. I don't have much studio equipment. I am trying to decide if my next investment should be in studio equipment or more lenses - I really prefer to be outdoors with my clients, but it can be hard once winter hits.

Blessings Agnes.

I'm no professional, but I think they're pretty great! Perhaps it would be nice to have a tighter crop on the first one? I absolutely love the second one - could be cool in black and white, too! And the third one is soft and wonderful! The skin tones look a little off, but newborn skin is like that. There is a great tutorial/free action here CoffeeShop Free PS/PSE Actions!: CoffeeShop Baby PowderRoom FREE PS/PSE Action! if you want to take a stab at it. I hope it's okay to put that link here! Keep up the great work!

Hi Agnes. Per the rules, can you please limit your critique request to just one photo? And if you happen to have the EXIF info, can you include that also? Thanks!!

Sorry - I am part of another forum where we are allowed 3, I got confused. Thanks for the tip on skin tone - it is really tricky to get newborns looking a decent shade

These are really cute! I've seen the hanging one mostly in portrait orientation showing more fabric. There seems to be a glow around the foot in that one. TFS!
