1 month old

[NicoleScraps]

Long story short, my newborn shoot never happened while the little guy was still a newborn. He was born on 10/22. First I was sick, then my kids were sick, then the mother was not available. Now, a month later, we finally have it together. I am going to photograph him tomorrow.
I have googled and flickr'd but all I can find for inspiration is newborn or older baby photography.
Has anyone done a shoot with a 1 month old? Any tips for me, as far as posing? He is all chubby now, definitely not newborn looking. I am not sure if I can get away with that newborn look.

Also, I am going to officially try out RAW with this shoot. So I'll probably have a million questions about processing them tomorrow. Actually, I might do raw + jpg so that I don't overwelm myself by stepping too far out of my box. LOL.

Anyways, any tips for the shoot? I've got my props and lighting covered, just need to think about posing.
Thanks!!

I know you've already done this session but I thought I'd reply anyway.
I don't do a ton of posing with the babies I work with but if you check out my site, some of the first images that come up are of a 1 month old that I recently did (the one with the pink headband). I think all the poses that some great baby photographers do are wonderful but some of the babies just aren't going to cooperate. Make sure you get lots of angles and have some interesting blankets, scarves, etc.
